Aunt Rachel's Baby Shower Weekend

Claire went on her first airplane ride this weekend!  Mom and Claire went to California for Aunt Rachel's baby shower (we left the boys at home).

Before the shower, we took Claire for her first visit to the beach:

Claire also got to meet her great grandma Tutu.

And her grandpa Tom.

The next day, it was time to get ready for the shower!

Grandma outdid herself with the decorations:

And all the guests made their own onesies for the new baby:

Claire pretty much slept the entire time outside where it was quiet.

But she woke up just in time for presents:

Grandma loved cuddling up with Claire.

After the shower, we took a boat ride in Newport beach with cousins Lauren and Kurt and baby Brinkley.

 

It was a very busy weekend!  Click here to see all the pictures.

Easter 2013

Happy Easter!  CJ loved finding Easter eggs this year.  We had an egg hunt at our house and then went to Bedens Brook for brunch, and the Easter Bunny was there and had arranged another Easter egg hunt!

When we got home, everyone passed out!

Claire - 2 Months Old

Claire turned 2 months old on March 22nd.  We had her 2-month checkup with the doctor yesterday.  She weighs 11 lbs now and measures 22.5" long, 50th percentile for both.  Her head size is 15.5", 75th percentile...big head just like her big bro!  The doctor was also impressed with her head control at 2-months and says she's very alert.

Here's a few pictures of Claire at 2 months old.

Who says these two don't look alike?

Claire - 2 days old

CJ - 1 day old

Claire - 1 Month Old

At Claire's 1-month appointment today, she weighed 9 lbs 14 oz.  She's already doing much better than her big brother, who only weighed 8 lbs 6 oz at the same time, even though they started out at the exact same 7 lbs 3 oz.  Claire is now 21" long; she grew 3" in a month!

Here's Claire at 1-month old next to her adorable lamb...the same size as her!

And one posing with her big brother CJ

Plus a couple other cute ones...

CJ's 3rd Birthday

CJ's 3rd birthday was February 14th, but we had his party on the 23rd to allow Claire to get one more week older.  CJ has been in to all super heroes lately but especially Batman, so naturally we had a Batman party!  15 kids and their parents made for a full and messy house!

Here are the Batman letters mom made for him.

And his Batman mask and cape

And capes and masks for all the kids to make.

We also had a Batman bean bag toss, which lasted about 5 minutes.

And our own Gotham city.

Batman cupcakes...

Daddy taking a time-out to feed Claire.

The favors were tiny buckets full of Batman pez, stickers, tattoos, and a bracelet. 

Happy Valentine's Day!
