Valentine's Day

Sean opened his Valentine gifts and was so excited to see that he got his very own camera and super hero underwear. He now can run around with Batman, Superman, and Flash all day long.
Check out my new gear!
Can't wait to take some pictures on my new camera.

Getting Ready for Spring

Claire is wearing her hat right before we went outside since it has been so sunny we are getting all of our summer gear out to use.

My Little Sis

Still trying to get a great picture of the two kids but he is the latest picture from a couple weeks ago.

Valentine Cookies

Sean made his own Valentine heart cookies complete with homemade dough and a bunch of love. Of course all he wanted to do was to eat his cookies. He played with the cookie cutter like he would his play dough. He refused to wear his clothes and loves to run around the house in his underwear.
YUMMY! Licking the frosting is always a treat.

Stripes

We have been to the zoo a couple times this month to enjoy the wonderful days. After looking at these picture it looks like Sean and dad dressed the same with their striped shirts. Sean brought his "binkies" and gave them to the monkeys but then when we got home he wanted to use one for his nap. Since I am not about to fight him with any sleeping problems right now we are continuing to use the binkies during naps and at night. We tried a couple ways to help him discontinue the use of them in a nice way but they did not work. I am not ready to lose the afternoon nap yet so binkies it is.
Sean was throwing stones in the waterfall and watching them go down the stream. Dave was trying to look good for the camera.

I am 3 Months Old

It is really depressing when I already have a pile of clothes that do not fit Claire anymore. This shows how our little girl is growing up so fast and the time is flying by. Claire is pretty much out of any of the shirts that a size 3 months or under because they are too short on her. I think we will have another tall family member here. Her sleepers have to be bigger than 6 months because he legs are too long for the ones under 6 months. She loves to smile at you when you say HI! to her and will start to eat her fingers. She tries to talk back to you by cooing and will keep smiling over and over. Tummy time is not a fun time for her and she usually cries in hysterics after about 5 minutes. We have been trying to do little intervals to keep her muscles going strong. Claire loves to drink about 4 ounces of her bottle and we finally have her bowel movements regulated. So things are going fairly well. She loves to sleep in the swing so that is getting some use since Sean only used it about 10 times. Every time Sean sees a picture of Claire he says, "That is my cutie!" He loves to hug her and help her out whenever he can. When he notices she is getting all the attention he needs to be held and starts to whine.
Claire's eyes are turning a bright shade of blue just like her brothers and her eyelashes are starting to grow out long. She is gaining a bunch of weight as you can see here in her little chunky hand.

Looking Around

Claire loves to sit up and look around at everything. If you lay her down for a second she starts to scream hysterically. She always wants to be held but has to sit up when she is held. She also loves to walk around in the bjorn but that can be taxing on your body after awhile so we also walk around holding her like a football so she can look around.
