Our little imitator

Claire is our little imitator; she watches and observes everything we do.   When I read her Five Little Monkeys, I always shake my finger at the part "No more monkeys jumping on the bed".  Now Claire has been adding the finger shake when says "No" (and we are getting a lot more "No" these days).  It is so cute but don't want to enourage her so we try to keep the laughing to a minimum.   I am imagining when she goes back to daycare in August and she starts to shaking her finger "No" at her teachers.    

We are having an excellent time in Rochester (and Claire hasn't even been on a tractor yet!).  Here are some photos:

Of course pushing a doll stroller:

Aunt Jean picked up this tricycle at a garage sale.  She is working on the pedaling, but can scoot around with her feet:
