She's six months and a real cheeky monkey

All cheeks

Already following in her Dad's footsteps

A Sunday afternoon attempt at nap time

Early morning girl

Richard has been in Nigeria this week, so Claire and I have been enjoying all of the space in the bed. Her new 'trick' is waking up around 4. We finally get up at 5, and the morning progresses from there, as you can see from the pictures.

Pounding fufu

Claire gets her first fufu pounding lesson with Mary (Aunt somehow removed) and Kojo (second cousin). She also met her Uncle Amos (Bra Yaw), Richard's older brother, for the first time.

Sunday at the pool

One of the highlights of the past couple weeks was last Sunday at the pool. One of Richard's best friends and his three boys met us there and it was a great day. Claire LOVED being in the water. Of course there are no pictures of that because I was both the photographer and the one holding her in the pool (Richard was very busy throwing a football with the boys), but she and Junior also enjoyed hanging out under the umbrella.

Nap time

Adjoa, Auntie, and the old lady across the way. They gave her a thorough head to toe inspection, and the old lady offered lots of advice.
