Catching up...Father's Day, Summer Fun, 4 months and 4th of July

David got to spend his first Father's Day with his Dad at the US Open which was held in Maryland this year. After a fun day full of golf we all headed out to dinner!

Happy Father's Day
She was so good for Daddy at dinner


The next weekend we headed to Hampton to celebrate Father's Day with PopPop and my 30th birthday!

Happy Birthday Mommy!
PopPop loves playing with her on the mat...at her level :)
 Claire turned 4 months on June 25th! She has such a fun personality and is doing so many things. She has rolled over back to belly and belly to back. She does a lot more belly to back though! She has started "shrieking" when she talks sometimes which is really cute. And her latest is blowing bubbles or really just spitting. She loves doing it and gets a big kick when we all laugh at her. She is holding her head up great on her own too. We got her a Bumbo seat where she can sit up all by herself. The 4th month has been so fun so far!!
Happy 4 months!
Sitting pretty in my Bumbo!
Loves to smile at you
 That weekend we also got to celebrate Thomas's baptism. David and I were honored to be his godparents.
With Thomas :)

Fun after church!

She slept the whole Mass for Grammy and PopPop :)
 Over 4th of July weekend when David was in Austin, Claire and I spent the weekend in Hampton. She had so much fun with all of the action! She played outside, went swimming for the first time and LOVED it, went down to the boat and ate out with the gang.

She loved the pool, one big bath!

I even braved the water!

Graduation

Claire had a busy week last week! We stayed in Hampton after Nags Head for Adam's graduation the next weekend. We had a visit with Grandma "D," a visit with cousin Thomas, went to the Greek Festival :) and went to Adam's graduation and party. She had a great time and just loved all of the action. She is now talking a lot and laughing!! It is adorable :)

Sunday was beach day! We drove down onto Oregon Inlet and couldn't have asked for better weather! We camped out under the canope to enjoy all of the delicious grilled food!

Great weather!
