Clare Goes SOLID!
After a few nights of Clare waking up hungry, we knew that it was time to start giving her more to eat. I know that is hard to believe when you look at the size of her cheeks, but she's a growing girl...in more ways than one. Anyhow, we took advantage of the expertise of Grandma and Grandpa Hillary as our little Gerber Baby had her debut with Rice Cereal. 
Grandma held her arms, I held the spoon and food, Daddy held the video camera, and Grandpa held the camera. It was quite an event...all on record.
She loved it when the food entered her mouth, but she loved it even more when she spit it down her chins and neck.
It was more of a game than an actual feeding session.
By the way, we officially go through more bibs during a day than diapers.
In case you were wondering about my hairy arms, Phil had taken over at this point.

CAMERA SHY!
What does it take to get a 4-month-old to look at the camera???
This one is my favorite! The wind caught her at just the right time.

Christmas 2008
Of all the presents under the tree, Clare was the best gift of 2008!
Ann gave Phil some random "treats" from her recent China trip. There was an assortment of chicken feet, duck neck, aloe juice, flavored seaweed, and much more.
This is the chicken foot.
Trying the first bite...and we all heard it CRUNCH!
The boys grilled our fancy salmon dinner.
Clare looks a bit goofy in this picture.
She had fun on her first Christmas!
Checking out her stocking...
...and gumming on anything within reach.
Christmas morning!
Happy in Grandpa's arms! 
"My first Christmas"
All SMILES!!!
This was after our Chirstmas Eve service.

Beautiful Busch Baby
We spent the whole day at Busch Gardens, and it was GREAT! The weather was perfect (low-70's and sunny), the crowds were manageable, and the company was unbeatable!
We snapped a few family photos throughout the day.
Auntie Ann loves getting her hands on her niece...
...and Clare loves getting her hands on her Aunt. WATCH OUT!
Grandpa and Grandma in their element!!!
We were thrilled to have Mari, a dear family friend, with us for the day at the park! :)
Grandpa has quickly become the new "baby grabber."
Grandma couldn't let Grandpa have all the baby time.
This is Phil doing a "Gator Talk." Even though he's done this for YEARS, I loved watching him in his element. I was the proud wifey of the handsome zookeeper. :) Notice the gator in the background.
The Hillary 3
Smiling with the babe!
