Welcome Lily!

Claire's BFF finally joined us last week!  


My sister, Laura, had her baby on Wednesday, October 12th at 11:15pm.  Here's a sneak peek of the cutie patootie.

She weighed in at 7lbs 4ozs and was 20.5 inches long...close to the same size as Claire.  Lily also has big feet so hopefully Claire will have someone to borrow lots of clothes and shoes from :)


We're going to visit Lily again this week so will be sure to take lots more pics of her and Claire together (you'll be able to see just how big Claire has gotten).


Meeting Lily was obviously the highlight of our week.  Here are some other things Claire was up to.


We finally pulled out the playmat for Claire.  She didn't know what to think of it at first.

 Her eyes get really big when she sees something for the first time.

Then when those little toys start moving, she of course gives them the stink eye.

But she likes the music.  She starts singing along.

The girl loves talking these days :)

Claire is really noticing things a lot more.  She has these cute pajamas that have bears on the feet which really blew her mind the first time she saw them.

 She kept folding in half trying to get a closer look.

She also just discovered TV.  Here she is enjoying Real Housewives or Most Eligible Dallas (the only shows on during the day while Daddy's at work).  She's hooked already :)

Mommy finally started going back to the gym last week so Claire got to hang with Grammie for a few hours each day (a little warmup for Grammie's long days ahead when Mommy goes back to work).   Here's a pic of her on her way.  

Grammie loves spending time with her little Claire.

Friday night, Claire got to experience her first girls night.  She of course slept through most of it...all of those familiar voices must've relaxed her.  She did hear them 5 days a week for 9 months straight after all.  We had to snap a pic of her awake while we had the chance. 

This week, we're going to hang with Lily and have Claire's 2 month checkup where she'll get lots of shots.  I'll let you know how she handles them.  Wish us luck!


Ta-ta for now!
