9 Years and 5 Months

Saturday, April 24th was Baron's birthday. He turned 9. Can't believe this big baby has been around for so long. He's getting to be an old man, but still acts like a small puppy lap dog.Nine things about Baron at 9 years old.
1. He's always had a blue collar.
2. His favorite toy is the man, but we can't find it right now.
3. He loves cheese.
4. He'll sit on your lap if you'll let him. It's not too comfortable since he weighs 85lbs.
5. He loves getting a belly rub.
6. He's scared of just about everything.
7. He doesn't bark that often.
8. He gets jealous easily.
9. He's much softer than Orion.

He's not good at sharing, but he had to on Saturday. Clarissa turned 5 months.
Five things about Clarissa at 5 months:
1. She loves to suck on the two fingers on her left hand that she is holding out a little in the picture below.
2. She has eaten rice cereal, green beans, peas, squash, carrots and bananas. She likes everything but the bananas.
3. She can roll over, but doesn't do it too often.
4. She laughs, but usually only when both dogs are barking.
5. She has a "talk show" every morning with her stuffed animals. It can sometimes last an hour.

Easter and Swings

For Easter this year, I bought Clarissa a set of bunny ears. I then decided to take a picture of her with them on and send them out as our Easter card. I didn't actually use this picture because it would have been too hard to get the writing on it so you could read it, but I do think this one was my favorite. So here's my little bunny!We also discovered in the past week that we need to start using the seat belt in Claire's swing. Her Dad and I got some photographic evidence of this. Don't worry, no babies were hurt in any way during this shoot. Yes, this last one she did manage on her own. I don't know how, but she did!
I think that the score would be Baby: 4, Parents: 0. We'll get it eventually!
