Cousins!

Claire finally got to meet her little cousin Lily last week.  She was asleep when we got there... 

But woke up not long after.  She's super cute and tiny.  Like I said last week, she's just about the same size as Claire was when she was born but Patrick and I cannot believe it.  Look how tiny that little head is!

The pacifier is almost as big as her face...what a cutie!

Claire meet Lily.

BFF's already.

They even blink at the same time!

The morning after meeting Lily, Claire had her 2 month checkup where she had to get 4 shots...yikes.  She woke up looking fabulous and ready for the day.

Enjoyed a little bumbo time before heading out...poor thing had no idea what she was in store for.

In her car seat ready to go.

Once at the doctor's office, she had to strip down to her diaper so they could weigh and measure her. She gained close to 2.5 lbs since her last checkup 6 weeks ago and grew 3 inches since birth.  She's in the 95th percentile for her height, 75th for her weight and her head grew so much she went from being in the 25th percentile to being in the 70th percentile for head size.  She's growing like crazy!

She knew she was in for something unpleasant after her measurements.

She had to get 2 shots in each of her legs.  She cried a little after the first one but settled before having to get the second.  Cried again after the second but calmed down before the third shot.  The third shot was it for her.  She screamed for a good while.  The fourth shot didn't seem to phase her since she was already full fledged screaming.  Once they were all over she finally calmed down.  

The doctor came in to check her out and answer any questions we may have.  She checked her ears, eyes, mouth, arms, legs, hips, and even stood her up to see how well she can hold her head up and if she can put any weight on her legs yet.  The doc said everything looked good and that she's very impressed with how well she can hold her head already....take that tummy time :)

After the doc was done examining Claire, I asked about her new love for biting.  Claire has found her fingers and loves nothing more than biting down on them...except for maybe biting down on mommy and daddy's fingers.  She seriously chews on them whenever she has the chance.  The dr said it could be early signs of teething but took a look in her mouth and said it didn't look like she was getting any teeth so she highly doubted that was it.  She then went on to tell me some kids just have oral fixations and like biting stuff....so pretty much she may just be a biter...like a little puppy....great.  Hopefully she never takes it out on other kids.  Guess we'll just have to wait to find out!

On Saturday, Claire got to meet some of her future BFF's (mommy and daddy's friends' kids :)).  We were somehow able to snap a pic of all 5 of them awake at the same time.  Meet (from left to right) Addison, Madeline, Gavin, and Emma.  Emma and Addie are sisters and Maddie and Gavin are twins. Claire's lucky to have such a fun crew to hang with :)

Sunday we went to see Claire's big cousins, Grace and Maddie, play soccer.  They couldn't have been more excited.

They have lots to teach Claire.  Like how to kick as well as Maddie.

And look as great as Grace in goal.

Three of their biggest fans watched them from the sidelines.

As well as their little brother, cutie patootie Luke.

After their soccer game, they couldn't wait to hang with Claire.  

They even sang to her.  Here they are performing Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Claire's one lucky girl to have such great cousins.

Well, we better get ready for another big first for Claire.  We're taking her to her first Flyer's game tonight!  Can't wait!
