Annabelle's latest obsession is with cows, ever since we saw them across the highway on our way to and from Sodus Point. Mommy couldn't take any more requests for "moo cow?" so we headed to Crescent Ridge in Sharon, MA (near our old apartment in Canton) for some ice cream and cow sightings. We got there at noon on a hot, humid day so we were worried when we didn't immediately see them outside, but were relieved to discover they were hanging out under the shade of trees.
On Tuesday, Bubbe, Grandpa Irwin and Aunt Stacey flew into Providence and drove to our house on their first leg of a fly/drive vacation. Belle was confused to have another "Grandpa" but was a little better once we told her we'd refer to him just as "Irwin." In typical Annabelle Reese fashion, she was freaked out about strangers but we think it might just be men because she was fairly quick to warm up to Bubbe and Stacey, doing airplane with Mac 'n Cheese and reading books with Aunt Stacey. We also took a trip to Irwin's "mecca," Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place so the girls could get new outfits and Irwin could visit the Pro Shop. On the last night of the visit, Claire actually slept from 8:30 until 5:45, her longest stint in months, so we saw that as a good omen of the visit. 
In honor of Patrick's 36th birthday on Friday, Claire decided to gift her father with not one, but two (bottom) teeth, her first! Mommy was amazed since she was only 5 months and 10 days, while Belle got her first tooth at 8.5 months, but knew there was no comparing the two! It's been a fussy time in the Griffith household as Claire adjusts but she's very taken with them, running her tongue and lips over them constantly. She's also trying to crawl but just ends up looking like she's going to take off flying!
