"Little Miss Muscles"

Claire is so strong!! She is holding her head up (has been since week 1) and now likes to stand and put weight on her legs. This little seat she is sitting in is only for babies who can hold their heads up, so I thought I'd try it today. It cracked me up because she looks so tiny in it. She seems to like it okay. I only left her in it for about a minute, but it was fun!

Also...

Claire is quite colicky during the evenings. Although, she is getting MUCH better, she still makes us really work to get her to calm down. Kyle and I have spent many hours bouncing on an exercise ball and carrying her around the house. Kyle even does the "Bunny Hop!!!" She seems to really like to bounce and move around. So much so, that Kyle was worried we were shaking her little brain up. It is pretty funny, but we do whatever it takes. I thought I'd share this pic. of Kyle bouncing on the ball (Claire's favorite).

Megan and Kyle,

I can't believe how big she is from week 1 to now! Wow! She is absolutely beautiful and wonderful. I want to eat her up too, Kennon! :) Love you guys, I think about you both and Claire every day. I know you are loving being parents!

Whoops! I just deleted my comment by accident. Wow! Clair is looking so grown up! All she needs is a purse to go along with the hair bow and she'd be ready for a day at the mall! Seriously, babies grow at lightning speed and she is really coming into her own. Her Grammy Mary just sent out pics on Shutter Fly and I was blown away! She is even prettier bow-less! I think its the beautiful smile and rosie cheeks. I can't wait to hold her and give her a squeeze!
Luv, Aunt Prissy

Claire is so strong and so cute! She is also very alert. Her eyes follow everyone around, especially her Mom & Dad. Mama Kay is still talking about our trip and what a precious baby she is! She stole all our hearts the moment she arrived and we just can't get enough! It makes our day to see these updated pictures and to read her little journal!
Love, Grammy Jones
