So if I hadn't mentioned it before – Claire is getting around. She has her own style of crawling that doesn't really involve her legs much at all. She mostly pulls with her arms while her legs are straight and she propels herself a little with the tips of her toes. She also has a…

This doesn’t happen everyday! I was just putting Claire down for a nap – about to close the shades when there was a loud noise and then a helicopter that seemed like it was coming right at us. It went right over our apartment and landed just on the other side of the railroad tracks.…
