Claire is 7 months old

We celebrated Claire's 7 month birthday by going to get ice cream at Ritters. (okay it wasn't really to celebrate we just wanted ice cream) Aunt Erika was visiting and Uncle Scott met us up there too.
What is Claire up to?

• She still isn't sleeping through the night-but that could also be because of all of her ear problems.


• She isn't taking a bottle either so I have pretty much given up on that endeavor. She does love her food though. Any baby food you put in her mouth she will EAT UP.


• She is defintely filling out her little body and getting chubby cheeks and thighs.


• Her eyes are still blue but are slowly changing-I think they will probably be hazel like Connor's.


• She isn't sitting up by herself yet but she can with a boppy.
  
• She still sucks her two fingers and that is quite adorable.


• No teeth yet but she is a drooling machine!

Claire is just very content and her brothers continue to keep her entertained and make her smile. She is such a precious baby girl and we all love her so much!

1st lost tooth

Taylor is going to kill me one day when he realizes all of the things I posted on here. Good thing nobody reads it! Taylor lost his first tooth last week! Funny thing was, his adult tooth was 100% grown in behind it and we didn't even notice it. Ooops. Proof once again that my baby boy is getting big. I refuse to accept that he only has 3 more weeks of Kindergarten. And that he is reading. For real reading. No more spelling words in front of him so he doesn't know what we are saying.

Take 5

I was trying to get a picture of all three kids together on Easter morning. Taylor was ready to go-Claire was a willing participant-Connor, well Connor likes to do things his way (which usually involves a little bit of protesting mixed with a little bit of silliness). One of the funniest things about these "attempts" is the look Taylor is giving Connor "Like really kid-can't you just say cheese so we can get this over with?"

These are so not in the right order-it actually started at the bottom.

Take 5: Claire: I am so over this Taylor: I am so annoyed. Connor: Ha! I showed them what happens when I don't get my way.

Take 4: Claire: Huh, what's going on over there? Taylor: Oh geez. Connor: WAAAAA!

Take 3: Claire: Oh, there's the camera! Taylor: still Cheese (come on Connor, you can do it). Connor: I am NOT doing what you want me to do because you snatched my breakfast.

Take 2: Claire: Where? Taylor: Cheese (come on Connor, smile) Connor: You took the Nutrigrain bar away-big mistake because the tears come next!

Take 1: Claire: Who am I looking at? Taylor: Cheese! Connor: It's breakfast time. Picture with my Nutrigrain bar.

Easter 2010

Easter weekend we went to visit Todd's parents. The kids enjoyed an outdoor egg hunt with their cousins, Dylan and Quinn. We also had a family dinner Saturday evening. Then of course Sunday church service to celebrate His resurrection! My mom had an Easter dinner with an outside Easter egg hunt.

Taylor was quite perplexed looking for his treasures

This is at Gma & Gpa's-Connor was so excited to find his egg!

Easter basket time!

Claire's first Easter. Isn't she beautiful?

Daddy and Claire ready for egg hunting!

Wouldn't be Easter at Mom's without a little 4-wheelin'
