8 Crazy Nights....

The family celebrated the festival of lights last week. Eight nights of presents and candles and you know the Claire LOVED every minute of it.

Claire and Daddy light their menorahs.

The Claire opening her first present.

BROBEE BACKPACK!!!

Daddy needed help lighting the candles on the 5th night.

No Hanukkah/Christmas is complete without a dance party!

Here she is with my good friend Buddy Levine!

The final night.

Time to clean up!

Claire spends time with family

The Claire has been spending a lot of time with family recently. Andrew, Gloria, Ben, and Molly came in town.  As you can see she was very excited about this.

DINNER TIME!!!! Why wasn't I invited?!?!

The newest Litt!

Hey Uncle Andrew, Peek-a-Boo! 

That's right ladies, he's single and ready to mingle.

It's everyone climb on daddy time!

Claire used to look at me like that...

That's about as good of a kids pic as you're going to get when they're all under 5 years old.

She's watching me.

Oh, the wonderful things Ms.Claire can do

The Claire proofreading my latest blog post.  You have no idea how hard it is to type with paws.

She's a very accomplished cook in her "retro" kitchen.  I've sampled many wonderful dishes from our little chef.  She's almost ready for "The Next Food Network Star"

She's also quite the little reader.  

She made a cookie for Father's Day and shared it with the man human.  When is Cat's Day?

ELMO CUPCAKES!!!!

Happy birthday to the Hank!

Concentrating on a puzzle never looked so cute. 

This is too cute to not share

I was able to grab some audio of the Claire singing with the lady human. You may need to turn your volume up to hear it, but it's worth it.

Special thanks to Mickey for making this audio actually work on here.

Growing up fast

People of the internet, I have to tell you something. This may come as no surprise to some of you, but our little Claire is growing up very quickly. A little too quickly if you ask me. Today the humans took her to school. They even had a backpack and lunch box with her name on it!

First of all, if this kid doesn't scream "too cool for school", I don't know who does.

I was able to tail them incognito style and document the whole thing. Not gonna lie, looks like the type of place I would like to spend the day. Friends to play with and snacks to eat. What could be better?

Of course, you can't start school without a solid tan, so last week the Claire hit the pool with her cousins.

But it's hard to build up that base tan when Mom applies SPF 350.

Of course, no trip to Nana and Pawpaw's is complete without picking some tomatoes from the garden!

With Nana's birthday on the 14th and Father's day around the corner, there are sure to be more adventures to come!

What has Claire been up to for the past 3 months?!

So, since you're all loyal readers, you may have noticed I haven't posted about the Clarie in quite some time. I'm very busy keeping up with the little one. She's a hand-full to say the least. We've shared so many great times together, and now I'm going to share them with you through the magic of photography.


As you know, the Claire isn't the only little human in the group. I call this one the Hank.


Poppy came in town to visit during Passover. Here he is with Bea and Claire.


Claire and Hank are always there to listen to each other's problems. She better not be meowing trash about me.


If there is a happier child in the world, I haven't met it. That's not surprising though...I don't care for most children.



The humans dressed up as chefs for the Purim festival. 2 things about this. 1) I love festivals. 2) They really need to spend less time looking like chefs, and more time actually feeding me. Apparently you need opposable thumbs to open the cans of food they buy me. Very clever humans. VERY clever.


Nana still comes to hang out with the Claire during the days the humans are out making money to buy me food. Here they are sitting and reflecting on the events of the day before the lady human gets home.


"Goodnight Moon" is a classic no matter how many times I've heard them read it. Yes, I like to listen in from time to time. Don't judge me.


Claire keeps telling me about these "parks" they take her to. She gets to do all kinds of fun stuff like swing and slide and climb. I would say I'm upset about missing out on the fun, but I'm worried that a lot of those things are dangerously close to exercising.



In February we got quite a bit of snow. I don't care for it myself, but Claire loved riding in her wagon through the icy streets.

I'm really going to try to be better about keeping everyone updated on my little protégé, but she's just growing up so fast it makes it hard to find the time. In my next post, I'm going to be chronicle her trip to the Dallas Zoo. I heard she meowed at a rhino.
