Well...it happened! We purchased the alphabet foam puzzle piece floor. I have feared this day for so long. Before I had a baby I had my mental "list" of things that I thought I would never do when I had a kid. Dedicating my entire formal dining room to the likings of a Gymboree were on the top of that "never" list. I just want our house to look like 2 adults still live here not just a baby. So, we comprimised and dedicated a corner of our living room to Claire's play area. Do I dare say it's actually cute. I even spelled her name down the middle. I went a step further and added the O-X next to the C in Claire for COX! It's true, I did. I have gone to other side! HA! Claire really seems to like her new play area and I have to admit that it's nice to have a place downstairs to put her down. I am not sure how long I can expect her to actually stay on the mat but for now it works. She is starting to sit up and I can't wait until she really has the hang of it. It's so cute and she looks like a big girl.
I know we are in for some new challenges soon. She already grabs everything in sight and rolls away. Changing her diaper has become eventful. I wonder if she thinks we are torturing her with this evil diaper because that is how she is acting. I hear it gets worse. My best friend has to change her 8 mo old son while he stands up. That has to win a medal!
We are all battling a cold in our house right now. I think we are on the uphill slope to getting better but we seem to just be passing it around. Claire has a cough now to go with her runny nose which I am certain is from teething (this time has to be for real!) She is still acting happy as ever though. I should take a lesson from her in how to stay positive! :)

The ABC floor is too stressful for the Kyle house. But it is great when they start crawling. Just embrace it. Before you know it, you will want a mini van. HAA! No, I don't think that we will ever go there.
You are too funny! You are just like me husband, he doesn't want to see toys everywhere whereas I'm like whatever! The more the merrier--it keeps the babies entertained, right? What more could you ask for!
