Watching my clients emerge from babyhood to toddlerland melts my heart.  All of the sudden, I am greeted with little people that love to interact and play.  I met Claire for the first time a year ago when she turned one.  At two, she is running and jumping and counting and playing and...are you tired yet?  We had such a fun time playing outdoors in the beautiful early spring weather yesterday.

A rare moment of silence and stillness.


Claire is quite the explorer (Dora is her favorite, naturally!)  She loved digging in the lawn and playing with sticks.


Her expression in this image is so sweet.  I see so much of both her Mommy and Daddy in her face these days.


Claire loves to run and JUMP off of the ledge on her front porch.  A helping hand from Mommy makes the game even more fun!

Finally, a quite moment.  Claire and her Mommy were counting tea cups and plates.  Moments like these are so fleeting...what a treasure!
