2014 Houston March For Babies

Milestone Monday

Clare took a few bites of pizza...more like nibbles but we'll take what we can get!!! 

Milestone Monday

Clare is now eating apples! Which is HUGE!!! BIG! HUGE!!!! Clare has always suffered from MAJOR oral aversion & refused to chew & swallow foods. We are now making some serious progress!!! She is no longer putting a tiny piece of apple into her mouth & spitting it out. She is now actually BITING DOWN, CHEWING & SWALLOWING the apple. Peoples....this is HUGE!!! 

Being honored by March Of Dimes celebrity spokesperson...Supermodel Niki Taylor (with her daughter)...for our involvement in this year's March For Babies. Clare's Crew was named a Top Family Team by March of Dimes Florida!!!!! Yay!!!!! Go Team Clares Crew!!!!! 

Clare's first diaper And Clare's first day of this school year!!!

Clare's 1st diaper was the size of a credit card & it was still too big for her!!!

And 5 years later, she's so smart and heading to Preschool...half day! :-)
