A Day at the Doctor and Pictures!

Today Claire had her 18 month checkup. While he was examining her he tells me that she has a double ear infection! Who would have thought....she is not feeling bad at all. Thank goodness we found that out today. I'm tired of going to the doctor every week.

Here stats are: Weigth 21 pounds 25th percentile
Height 31 1/2 inches 50th percentile

She's a little peanut!

Josh and I took them to have their 3 month and 18 month pictures today. It was quite an experience. Claire did not want to have her picture made at all. And the ones that she would sit still for, she barely smiled. This stage that she is in is wearing me out! Carson did great...simply because he just laid there. Such an easy baby. He loves to smile but would not smile for the camera. I think we got one smile out of him. It was an adventure. Here are a few pictures.

Sloppy Joe's

I made Sloppy Joe's the other night and wondered if Claire would like them. By looking at the pictures, you can see that she did! She had it all over her face.

Last Saturday we went to our cousin Aden's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Claire had a blast playing and riding all the fun rides.

A Crazy but Fun Week

It's been crazy at our house for the last week. Claire and Carson have both been sick, which means not much sleep for mama! Claire was the sickest one...terrible cough, runny nose, high fever and pink eye. Carson just has a bad cough, but is eating well and still sweet as can be. We've really been lucky because Claire has never really been sick. She's had the occasional runny nose and cough but nothing that keeps her from playing and eating well. She was sick for 4 days and was pitiful. Now she is feeling much better and back to herself.

Mom and Dad were here visiting during all of this. Thank goodness they were here so I could have some extra help during the day. We didn't do too much since everyone was sick. We did do some shopping and took Claire to My Gym. She showed Grammy all the things that she can do in her class.

Carson is 11 weeks old. He has found his hands and loves to suck on his fingers. He may end up being a thumb sucker. He also loves to rub his hair on the side of his head. It must be feel good rubbing between his fingers because he does it all the time. He's smiling so much and talks "baby talk" all the time to us. It's so cute and sweet. I tried putting him in his bumbo and he loved it. He can't really sit up straight in it but we tried. He'll be ready for it in a few weeks.

Here are a few pictures from our week.
So Sick...she was just pitiful

2 month checkup

Carson had his 2 month checkup on Wednesday. He is doing so great. Growing so fast. Here are his stats:
12 pds. 5 oz.- 50-75th percentile
24 inches- 75-90th percentile

He is sleeping really well at night. Only waking up once to eat. He is such a sweet boy!

Friday Night Basketball

Last Friday night we went to the North High Basketball game. We watched the game from the corner of the gym so all the kids could play. Claire had so much fun playing with the kids and the basketballs. She loves balls and her daddy is so proud that she loves "basketball!"
