Claire - 9 weeks old

How could anyone resist this sweet and adorable face! Poor Claire seems to have been in the "shadows" of the blog here lately because so much is going on with big sister Chloe! So I wanted to take the opportunity to post a couple of pictures of her and tell you all what a sweet baby Claire is! She rarely ever cries, unless something is wrong. She's sleeping good and eating good. Last time we were at the doctor, Claire weighed 11lbs 2ozs......she was about 7 weeks old then. We have her 2 month checkup tomorrow (Wednesday) so we'll be anxious to see how things are going. She has had a really bad cold over the last couple of weeks, so we are praying for relief for her little body from the congestion and cough.



One other thing about Claire is that we participated in our church's baby dedication service on November 2nd. Long before Claire entered this world, we dedicated her life to our Heavenly Father and prayed that he would use her. However, this dedication service was a great way to do this publicly in front of our real family and church family. We were blessed to have a host of family members to share this day with us! The irony in that is that I forgot my camera and the only person with a camera was Kevin's mom and she was far enough from the stage that her pictures turned out blurry! So......I'm following in typical fashion for the second child and I already feel guilty about it! Here's the only pictures that we have of the day. We pray that Claire will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus very early in her life and spend the majority of her life serving the Lord.

Hey there. How was Claire's two month appointment? Everett's was good -- he is up to 14 pounds 4 ounces so he is growing like crazy too... Don't feel guilty about not having as many pix for child number 2. :-) You are doing an awesome job. She is a sweet and adorable little girl. LOVE all that hair she has!
