Yes, we are having so much fun that I have forgotten to post pictures for you! OH NO!
We took the girls to the fair. We did not take the camera. We did take cys phone. So, I have a bunch of pictures and videos being held hostage on cys phone.
That's ok. All you need to know is that we got a super cute fish named Hawky. Sadly enough he didnt make it. I think I was more excited about Hawky than Charlotte. No worries. We have since replaced him with a pet catepillar. The catepillar eats a ton and is getting all fat and ugly. I check every morning for a transformation...but he is still just a hungry catepillar.
I could stare at this picture all day. She is seriously so stinkin' cute that I want to bite her toes off.
My cousin Matty with the bean. He made the mistake of spinning her once in circles. So, he had to do this several times after that. Im sure his arms were tired!
The girls. I like this picture because Claire looks like a little chunker. Another reason to bite her feet and squeeze her chubs. It's no wonder Lottie wants to squeeze her so tight all the time! Note the little blue sticker. Lottie put that on Claire because "she went peeps". Not quite using the toilet, but Lottie was proud of her and felt the sticker was needed.
Claire has grown so much already.
I am loving every moment I have with her (yes, even the screaming pooping ones too).
She has become very aware of her surroundings.
Her favorite thing is the mobile in her crib.
She kicks and waves her arms around while letting out the occasional coo. Damn it's cute!
Here she is in her chair staring at toys. Its funny because I think we have the same picture of charlotte!
Chris and Annie and kids came down a few weekends ago.
Here are all the Scott kids!
He cracks me up!
Charlotte's head is a fun place to put things.
Our front yard was finally completed on Saturday night.
It feels great to have nice plants and grass outside!
Lottie helped out and enjoyed playing in the dirt!
A lot of people ask me how the bean is adjusting to baby Claire.
She is doing fine...no regression at all!
Lottie really loves her sister. She has so much love for her that sometimes she can be a little too loving.
I am in love with my new little peanut.
She makes cute peep noises and I can't stop staring at her.
Here is my view each day while the bean is at school.
Yes, her eyes are a light greyish blue. I cant wait to see what color they end up.
I love her little tongue!
Sorry for the extended break between posts.
I have learned why there are never picts of the second child....you have your hands full with two kids when do you find time to pick up a camera!?!?
At least, that's my excuse!
So, here is a TON of picts of what we have been doing over the last few weeks. Enjoy!
Big sister Charlotte (aka "the Bean") with Claire (aka "the Peanut").
Charlotte has been super funny lately. She has a seriously hilarious imagination. Here she is off to "costco to go shopping for dog food"
Cy's friend Scott came over to take pictures of Claire. They turned out AMAZING. I plan on sending them out in our announcements...so you will see the finished product soon enough! In the meantime, here is a pic I took of Linea (Scott's daughter) and Charlotte while Scott was setting up his "studio" gear.
He also organized a picnic at the park. It was a very nice and relaxing afternoon.
As I lounged on the picnic blanket, Lottie and Cy went to fly a kite.
Lottie and Claire got these cute red dresses from Cy's grandma. They arrived in the mail...Charlotte was so excited about it that she had to wear it immediatly. Once she had it on, she did a little dance.
She is so relaxed!!!
Yay for the new baby!!!
We had a planned c-section for Saturday May 2nd. Well, this little one did not want to wait.
So, wednesday night (thursday morning) at 3am I went into labor. Since this was a little different than my experience with Charlotte (my water broke) I was not really sure if it was "real" labor or not. About 6 am I realized..WHOA this is happening for real!. I managed to hold it together long enough to allow Cy to sleep in until about 7 am and to get charlotte off to school.
Off to the hospital where we did the c-section.
Baby Claire was born at 11:13am
6 pounds 15 ounces
Length 19 inches
During that last heat wave we went to Toys R Us and got Lottie a pool.
It was awesome. We spent the day by the pool and ate Otter Pops!
