CHTV 3

Well... we are now caught up with videos!  CHTV3 covers Jan through March.  We were going to wait until Harper's birthday in a couple weeks to post another episode, but with Harper hitting a new milestone (you'll have to wait till the end of the video to see it) yesterday, we figured we'd just post the video now.

Enjoy!

CHTV 2

OK OK OK.  It has been a while since the first CHTV, we know.  This little video covers Sept 2012 through December 2012.  It's over 8 minutes long, ending with a crazy visit from Santa Claus in Nora Springs.

We promise the next CHTV will be out sooner than this (after Harpers birthday in a couple weeks).

Enjoy!

CHTV 1

This is the inaugural edition of CHTV (Claire/Harper TV).  This first episode is LOOONNNNGGGG.  Starting at the hospital when Harper was born, ending nearly 4 months later at Claire's 3rd birthday party.  So understand going into it that this is a 9 minute movie!!

Enjoy!

CJW Music Medley

Here we have Claire (at 1 1/2 months shy of 3 years old) actually singing some of her favorite songs in front of a camera without trying to grab it!  She loves singing songs, here is John Anderson's "Swinging", followed by You Are My Sunshine and the grand finale is "Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee" -- with 3 month old Harper listening closely.

 

CTV9

Here it is, the final CTV episode!!!  After this, the movies get even better with CHTV.  Hope you enjoy CTV9 - November 2011 through Feb 2012!!

New Things

We have just a couple things to share with you this time...

First of all, if you haven't seen her in a while -- she loves singing lately, especially her ABCs:



And secondly, she pooped in her daddy's shower:

Twinkle Twinkle

One more quick video before we take our usual 45 day break from posting stuff... Claire enjoys singing into her little "microphone".  See below for Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star...

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch

We took Claire on a little trip to a pumpkin patch/apple orchard the other day and she had a blast!  The weather was nice, she got to play in a corn pool, go for a hayride, pick out her own pumpkins, ride on a little tractor/train, see horses, pigs, sheep, goats and cows!  Below are some pics and a video of her in the corn pool...  Enjoy!

CTV8

Here it is!  CTV8 is a quick little compilation from June/July.  Nothing too special, Claire is really going to be miffed when the nice hot weather goes away - no more swimsuits, sprinklers, swimming pools, drinking out of the hose, etc. etc.

Spring Sprinkler!

Well, when it gets 85-90 degrees out at the beginning of May, you need to reward it with a run through the sprinkler.  This was Claire's first experience with it, and she absolutely loved it!  She would have done that for 8 hours straight that day if we would have let her.  Here are some pics...

California Cousies!

Back in the first week of April Claire got to go visit her cousins Milan and Vivy in California, and she had a blast.  Here are a few photos from our day at Disneyland (which she loved)!  Tons of fun, hope we get to do it again soon.

CTV7

Once again, I am taking the lazy way out and just sticking a compilation video up here.  These clips are all from Christmas 2010.  Even though you see Claire in line for Santa, you should know that she did not sit on his lap, she instead waited in line for well over a half hour only to scream at the site of the big guy.  Enjoy!

CTV6

Well - it has been a while since we have posted a video.  This little ditty is a compilation of small clips from June through October 2010.  Nothing crazy -- it goes from learning how to walk to her 1st birthday to enjoying halloween.  All in 3 minutes or so!

Enjoy!

Claire's 1st Pool

Well... this blog post is a little late, since the video was taken in May, but...

The best $8 we ever spent was on a cheap blow-up pool.  We have only used it just the one time, but Claire loved it so much she did not want to get out and could have hung out there all day!

Just a swingin'

The linked video below was actually taken from one of our iPhones (the pink one), and it looks pretty good!

We have a park a few blocks north of us that is brand new, and Claire loves the swings.  It sounds like we will be purchasing a swingset sometime in the near future...

Enjoy!

CTV5

Well, we decided to put our videos into a compilation again...

Nothing wild, just Claire being Claire:

CTV4

Well... this will be something different, but it makes more sense to do a compilation of small videos instead of just a couple small videos.

So for our 4th episode of Claire Television (CTV) you are looking at an excerpt of things from February, 7 months old...

Enjoy!

CTV3

I meant to put this up the other day but didn't get it done. This is only the third episode of Claire TV. It's just an update for those of you who haven't seen her in action lately.

She has been a very happy baby, and is very easy to make smile and laugh.

Bless You

Could be the shortest video on YouTube. It's a sneeze. She really let's em loose when she has one. So does her dad, but she is quite a bit cuter while she does it...

Slide show a la Claire

Auntie KJ put together a slide show from Claire's first minutes with some of the family.

Wow. She hadn't been alive for more than 4-5 hours and she had all of those pics taken... Awesome.
