Claire has been growing so fast. Tim weighed her with him the other day and she is over 9lbs already. He says she has thunder thighs but I think they are adorable. We are officially out of preemie clothes and into newborn. It is so fun to dress her! She has been such a good baby and we enjoy every minute. She loves bath time and is starting to smile daily and not just when she's sleeping.
The last few weeks we have done a few things with Claire's cousins they change so much just in such a short time. Claire is already 8 weeks old and has grown so much. Last week we went to the Zoo with my sister and Claire's cousin Ben. I'm not the best about pictures so this is all I took. I'm trying to get better.
res of them together.
We recently had Claire's newborn pictures taken by our friend Mary. She did such a great job we are so excited to put them up in the house.
I can't believe our little Claire is a month old. The month has gone by fast but I felt like the first 2-3 weeks were recovering I still had to be careful of bending over and lifting things but now I can pretty much do anything. Tim and I have loved being parents and can't get enough of our little girl. The last few weeks we have been sort of busy I have been reorganizing a few things and sorting through the endless papers we have gotten or continue to get from the mail and doctors. We have tried to keep her in as much as possible but I was going stir crazy so I have been taking her out here and there and we have figured out movies are a breeze when she sleeps through the whole thing.
We have also started the temple prep classes and are super excited to take that step at the end of next year. We went to a baptism the other Saturday and I really felt the spirit it was just the other day that Tim got baptized and is now waiting to gain the priesthood so he can bless Claire. We are so excited for this year to be just or more eventful and exciting as last year. Last week a friend came in town from Utah and it was so fun to go to our favorite resteraunt Oregano's that is our meeting place most of the time when we all get together. Here are a few pictures form the last few weeks she can almost fit into newborn clothes. I think she is probably around 7lbs by now she continues to change but still seems so small. We think she will be a real water baby because she loves having a bath she kicks and waves her arms it makes it a little difflcult when she gets so slippery we use the sink the bath tub was a little too big!
Those of you who know Tim know that he is always coming up with silly things and teasing. We were watching TV and when he stood up this is what I saw. She didn't seem to mind at all she doesn't know how funny her Dad is yet.
This is a really cute shirt we got from the doctor when she was born. It says Dr Shannon's special delivery.
Here is another example of Tim being himself holding her up with her diaper cover on her head.
