Claire continues to grow and amaze us every day. This week she has demonstrated the ability to roll over from her stomach to her back. The first time was at about 3 PM on Friday July 24th, but she has done it twice more since then. I put her down for some tummy time and after a while she got so agitated and worked up that she lifted her head up high, arched her back, kicked out her leg and over she went. Since then Claire has rolled over every time we do tummy time, and I will try to get video of her next roll. Very exciting, and fortunately both Leia and I were there to see the very first time. Grandma Thomas is here this weekend and has also witnessed this great feat of baby strength.
I have finally sorted through the mountain of pictures that we have from the first three weeks and have created a web album with captions on the photos.

Having my mom here this weekend has been a great help. We have been eating some great food, enjoying each others company and of course spending lots of time with baby Claire. Claire has been sleeping pretty well at night and that means we are all feeling better. I'm going to borrow Rick's video camera again this week, and hopefully I will have some video clips online soon. No promises though, it took me forever just to organize and comment 80 photos, so who knows how long it will take to edit the video...
