4 Months and 32 Months!


Wow! It's been a long time since my last post. I've got a lot to catch up on :) I can hardly believe that Claire is almost 32 months and Blake turned 4 months last Friday! We go for our check up on Tuesday and Claire will have to get a shot too, a flu shot. :( I am going to get their pictures taken this week as well, so look for those pics soon. These are my favorite pictures of them together--adorable!

This hat is my favorite, but everyone felt bad for Blake that he had to wear it. We walked as a family in the Walk for Life for our local Crisis Pregnancy Center and it was soooo cold!

Blake is eating cereal now, well not really eating it, more experiencing it :) He takes a bite, and then eats the same bite about 4 or 5 times before swallowing it. I'm sure he will get better soon.



This is Claire when she started cereal at 4 months--they do look similar I think :)
Blake also started rolling over from his tummy to his back and also started sucking his thumb, JUST LIKE SISTER! He also loves his exersaucer, what fun!


It's so fun to see how Claire is getting more comfortable with her role as Blake's big sister. She is so compassionate and looks out for him. He was crying in the car and she said, "He wants his mommy and daddy". So cute! We are also having some issues with Claire taking things from Blake because "he doesn't want them anymore" or "he wants to share this with me." We all know better than that!
Claire started Puggles (a baby platypus), her club for AWANA. I am her teacher which is very interesting, as well. Each week she listens better to me. I wanted her picture in her uniform (all the kids have them) but this was her reaction.


Once I turned a movie on, this was her response :)

Overall, we are all adjusting to being a family of four and are so thankful everyday for God's blessings; Claire and Blake. We have a busy weekend coming up--Aunt Kristin, Uncle Dave, and Jackson are coming on Friday to go to Grant's Farm with us and then Saturday we are going to Eckart's Pumpkin Patch with Grammy and Papa. Come back soon to see our weekend adventures, along with our checkup info after Tuesday :)
