Catching up Part 2: Cousin Claire and toys

Saul's Cousin Claire is only 6 weeks younger than he is. She is a big part of Saul's life, as are Auntie Michelle and Uncle Jeff. In fact, I recently realized that Saul gets very excited when we get to Michelle and Jeff's door, as he seems to now know that he's going to get to see them, or play with Claire's toys and watch Puma. Who knows what has him the most excited, but he knows it's behind the red door!

Considering all of this, it suddenly seemed strange to have no pictures of Claire yet on the blog, since she couldn't join the kids in the picture with their great grandma. So, since Claire plays with toys very differently than Saul does I find these pictures particularly funny. She generates much less slobber on her toys than does Saul and doesn't typicaly demonstrate the same enthusiasm that Saul uses in his play. Despite this, Claire has shown us that she really does like toys - or at least Saul's toys!

Sweet sleeping Claire. No toys in this picture, but couldn't resist including it. She was probably about 4 to 6 weeks old here.

Claire's real interest is revealed as she reaches in for the steal!

Claire playing with her new goods. Is this a sign of things to come or just pay back for all of Claire's toys that Saul not only plays with but drools on before she has the chance? (Saul's cheeks look particularly large in this pic!)
