We’re Here! November 18, 2009 Comments Off

Well, it’s been quite some time since I’ve posted but it’s been a jam-packed few months. We decided it was time to make some life-altering changes and thought: what the hey, why not do them all at once? First, we’re expecting another member of Team Evans at the end of May. We’re jazzed about having [...]

Don’t worry, she’s getting fed! August 28, 2009 Comments Off

So it’s been a while since I’ve posted here at feedingclaire but Claire is still getting a mouthful! A lot has changed in these past few months: Claire turned one, Claire is walking, and she’s really starting to become her own little person. (We’ve already had our first fight! It involved whether or not she [...]

¡Polenta! June 8, 2009 Comments Off

Oh, boy! Was this a party! I have never seen Claire gobble up anything like she gobbled up polenta. It was a sight. She had already eaten most of her dinner and I was making polenta to go with dinner for me and Aaron (BBQ chicken and asparagus – yes, she could have had that [...]

My Big-Headed Baby (part II) June 5, 2009 Comments Off

Apparently, I’m not alone in Claire’s troubles with being big. Her whole life she has been a big baby. She currently weighs in at 22 lbs 6 oz, is 2′5″ tall, and her head is just over 18″ (almost as big as mine). At her 6 month visit, the pediatrician recommended that we come back [...]

My Big-Headed Baby May 18, 2009 Comments Off

While it may not be easy to tell from the pictures I post, or maybe it’s completely obvious, but Claire is big. She’s always been big. When she was born she weighed in at 8 pounds 6 ounces and was 19 1/4″ long. Nice work for a first baby. I’m not big but Aaron is [...]

Happy (quite belated) Mother’s Day May 13, 2009 Comments Off

I know this is late but Happy Mother’s Day. This being my first, I’m still quite excited to be a recipient on Mother’s Day. I love being a mother and I relished in the constant reminders that I am a mother. Having Claire around all of the time should be that reminder; but, seeing [...]

Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad May 8, 2009 Comments Off

Every day I like to practice ‘talking’ with Claire. She’s staring to get the hang of it. She knows her name when I call her and loves when I say ‘No!’ She finds it hilarious and then shakes her head and laughs some more. (This may be troublesome in the future, but for now it’s [...]

Claire’s first swing May 5, 2009 Comments Off

Oh, boy, was this a fun day. It had been raining most of the morning – as it has been for the past – well, it seems like forever now… But it had cleared somewhat and Aaron and I decided it was as good of a day as any to test drive the swings at [...]

More Broccoli and Cheese, Please April 30, 2009 Comments Off

For some reason I never would have thought that Claire would like broccoli but, boy, does she ever. She’ll eat it plain or a little spruced up like in the picture above (yes, I know, often pureed baby food does not look appetizing to us grown-ups; but, the picture doesn’t do it justice: it’s bright, [...]
