A Day at Home

Just some cute pictures from a fun day around the house.

Claire - 5 Months

Claire turned 5 months old today!  She is very active these days.  She rolls over a lot and reaches for things and brings toys to her mouth.  She loves watching her big brother CJ and has even begun laughing at him.  She's so distracted by CJ that she won't even nurse in the same room with him anymore.  We tried giving Claire rice cereal and applesauce this month, but she wasn't quite ready for it!  Maybe next month!

Here are some pictures of Claire at 5 months old.

Getting the hang of this balance thing!

Claire's First Daycare Pic

Claire is adjusting well to daycare.  Here's her first picture at school today.

Ellie's 3rd Birthday Party

Ellie's 3rd birthday party yesterday was at Art Sparks in Hopewell.  CJ really got into the creative spirit!

Painting an old trash can

And lots more that we missed photos of :(

Claire - 4 Months Old

Claire turned 4 months old on May 22nd!  She weighs 13 lbs. 9oz. (50th percentile) compared to 11 lbs two months ago.  She's 25" long (75th percentile, like her brother), up from 22.5" at 4 months, and her head size is 16.5" (also 75th percentile, like CJ), up from 15.5" at 4 months.

She also got 4 shots, same ones as at 2 months, (PCV, DTap, Hib, and IPV) plus the Rotavirus vaccine by mouth.  She was so unhappy about it, it was heartbreaking!  I think she was mad at me for a day and a half.

Memorial Day at the Pool

Finally an opportunity for Claire to wear her adorable new swim outfit!  We had nice weather so it was off to the pool.

CJ enjoyed ice cream

In celebration of the holiday and opening of the pool, there were lots of games to play, like Hot Potato...

and a hula-hoop contest.

CJ (the shortest participant) won the limbo contest and talked the program administrator into this water gun!
