a part of the family

Now that claire is accomplishing such feats as rolling over, laughing adorably, and sleeping though the night, she's decided she would like to be included in all the family interactions. She gets genuinely frustrated when she is relegated to the pack n play during playtime, bouncy seat during dinner, and she looks everywhere for her sister when she's gone upstairs to take a bath. She was thrilled to sit on our laps during dinner and be a part of the family routine and watch Adrienne in the bathtub from her swing. It will be great when they can take baths together. They'll have so much fun splashing around, and it will be easier on us, too... but I surely don't wish these precious days away, either....
