Claire is one year old today.
Here's a photo of her standing on her own. This only lasts a couple of seconds until she realizes she isn't holding on to anything solid, so I'm lucky I got this picture.
Birthday cake and other festivities will come later today. She had a traumatic incident with a balloon yesterday. I thought it would be fun to blow up a balloon and then let it go flying around the room. (The kids in Tucson thought this was hilarious when we did this with them on their birthdays.) However, when I let her balloon go, it spun around and headed straight for Claire, making some very strange sounds. This just resulted in scaring her and causing her to scream and cry. Oh no . . . it seemed like a fun idea at the time. Now she is very wary of the balloons and will barely touch them. I hope I did not cause a lifetime balloon phobia for her.
PS - Happy Birthday to my sister, Carolyn, who also shares this special birthday!
