Claire Lauren Patterson

Born 10/26/07 at 9:32pm

Weighed 8 pounds and 8 ounces and was 21.5 inches long.



Claire's entrance into the world was a high point in Mom and Dad's life. She is a beautiful girl with blue eyes. She is eating, sleeping, and filling diapers like she should. Mom plans to take 12 weeks off before returning to work part-time, and is recovering from laber and birth well. Dad has taken 2 weeks off to get to know his little girl and help Mom out at home, and is enjoying Mom and Claire's company. Both sets of grandparents were able to see her and hold her within her first 24 hours of life, and she is looking forward to meeting Uncle Ryan Baines from Colorado, and Auntie Monica and Uncle Rich back in Iowa.



Her baptism is scheduled tentatively for 11/18/07 at Mizpah UCC in Hopkins, MN.
