The last week or so........

I just wanted to take a minute to say hello and add a few pictures. Last week, the girls and I went to Athens with my Mom and spent two nights at Jess' (my brother) condo. It was really good to see Jess and MeriBeth and get to meet a couple of Bee's friends. Mom was able to get some wedding stuff done and I was able to get measured for my dress. It was a productive trip and a good change of scenery for the girls and me!

This week, Claire has just rolled everywhere! She is actually starting to cover some ground and try to get places. It's amazing to us since Chloe was pretty stationary for such a long time. I had totally forgotten that we had the exersaucer.......the other day I thought about it and got it out for Claire. She loved it! She is so close to being able to sit up by herself.......it shouldn't be long now. I can also see the corner of her first tooth trying to break through.....stay tuned!

Chloe definately makes us laugh and says funny things all the time. I sometimes feel so convicted about taking time to just sit down with her........yesterday (Tuesday) when Chloe woke up, I took Claire in there and we took a snack and grabbed lots of books and just hung out in Chloe's bed to read. Claire enjoyed playing and Chloe really amazed me with the things that she knows. We were reading an alphabet book and she kept naming colors and things that I never knew that she knew! I wish that I could somehow let you all watch our day and my daily interaction with her......she's such a smart kid!

Here's a few pictures.....I'll add captions below each one.

Claire is sitting in the exersaucer just hanging out......a whole new world has been opened to her!

Our two girls in the tub. They LOVE bath time and really enjoy doing it together. Chloe sits down in the big tub and then Claire sits in her tub and they have a blast. We're in there for forever it seems but everyone ends up bathed, lotioned up, and dresssed in jammies!

Claire, Mommy, and Chloe sitting outside of the golf club where Jess and Bee's reception will be held.

Claire and Chloe hanging out in Chloe's chair.....I'm sure they are watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.......that's all we watch these days!
