Traveling Baby, Part II

Kyle's mom sent a few more (645 to be exact) pictures of Savannah and we thought we'd post them...just a sampler =)

Please don't show this to my high school boyfriend...

Isn't she so cute?!?!?! We just couldn't resisit a picture of that cute little bottom! Kyle was getting her readyf or bed and she rolled over on her tummy and we thought it was too cute to pass up.

Home Sweet Home

We hadn't been home in what seemed like months. My mom and Mike came up to Fort Worth to help us take care of Claire while Kyle and I fixed up our yard (it was in contention for the "WORST yard of the month"). Anyway, Kyle and I ended up hiring a crew to work in the yard, there was just way too much work. They did a great job and it looks MUCH better. Also, I got on this porch swing kick and decided that we HAD to have one. Well, Mike was at Lowes and was able to get a good deal on one from the guy there, normally a $150 swing and he got it for $50....hhhmmm....Well, we got our porch all cleaned off and got the new swing up. I went and sat on it, with Claire, and felt a little flimsy. So we took some pictures of us on it, posing and looking so happy. Then my mom says, "Kyle, go sit on it with them." Kyle sits and CRACK, the swing totally breaks and we all go flying backwards, luckily we didn't hit the ground. It was really scary, and then really funny afterwards. I only wish we had taken a picture of the swing after it had broken. Needless to say, we went out and bought a new swing. It looks great and Claire loves swinging on it. I'm still a little nervous when I first sit down each time =)

Lakehouse Weekend

Kyle, Claire and I went down to Livingston for the weekend (a couple of weeks ago, I know it's been a while since i have posted). We had a great time and really enjoyed it.

Here's something I never thought would happen...

A very sleepy little girl. She fell asleep right in the middle of a spoonful of green beans. She tried so hard to keep her eyes open...Oh man, I should have video taped it.

5 months old with Chickenpox

Claire is now 5 months old. She is getting so big. She weighs 16 lbs, 12 oz. She is really developing a little personality. She can be pretty feisty at times, but is usually so happy. It is so cute when Kyle and I walk into a room and she just lights up. What a great feeling!! It is getting easier to make her laugh, but we usually have to work pretty hard at it. She is definitely a comedy snob. In addition to rice cereal (with bananas), Claire is eating peas, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, and now baby applesauce. She is NOT a pea fan, but she seems to really like carrots.

And about the Chickenpox....We were in Savannah and noticed Claire had what we thought was a bite on the back of her neck. A few days later she woke up with "bites" all over her. On her head, legs, and diaper area. When we got back into town we went to the dr. and he said it was definitely Chickenpox. They really don't seem to bother her at all. She hasn't had any fever or doesn't seem itchy. I'm actually kind of glad she got them now, that's 2 less vaccines later.

Traveling Baby

Claire went on another vacation. This time she went to Savannah, GA with Kyle's whole family. We had a great time. She went swimming in the pool and hung out at the beach. Kyle's cousin's kids, Paul & Jeremiah, were so sweet with Claire and they seemed to LOVE spending time with her. They worked so hard at making her laugh and it was fun to watch them with her.
