Big Girl Car Seat.....

Claire is in her big girl car seat now...
She is so proud!

6 Month Check Up

Today was Claire's 6 month check up (a few weeks late).

She is growing like a weed!

19 pounds 8 ounces

27 inches long

Last night Claire started to clap - it's so cute to see!

It's amazing how fast she is changing.

Conner and Claire.....

Here are a few pictures of Conner and his sissy...

Claire wearing her new dress Grandma bought her....

Claire is also sitting up all on her own. She is such a big girl.

I have to add that Claire is saying "Dada"... It's so cute & her daddy is so proud. Mommy too.

Yummy!

Weeeeee....

Conner loves to play at the park and go down the BIG slide.

Silly Boy!

A day with my Grandma....

My mommy took my brother and I to see grandma.

She sure loves us.

Grandma thought she'd let me sit in the grass for the first time. I wasn't sure what to think.

I did not like it!!!!

Seaworld 2007

We just took our annual family trip to Sea World.

Conner had a blast. Claire too. Mommy and daddy were exhausted!It was very, very hot and very crowded.

Conner got to visit with the Clydesdale's, Penguins, Flamingos, Dolphins, Sharks, Shamu and even got to hold a star fish as well as touch a snake(yuck)...Conner was in heaven.

The "Princess" just sat there looking pretty.

Conner and the snake.

The snake was about 6 feet long.

Conner taking a peek at the Flamingo's and the ducks.

We ended the day in the water park. Conner has a blast playing in the fountains.

It was a little more challenging than normal with two kids but we made it and had a great day together.

Play date with my cousins.......

Here are a few pictures of one of our weekly play dates with my cousins...

Benji adores Claire and Conner adores Emma....

They are so silly together.

Update on our growth.....

Conner or shall I call him "TROUBLE" is keeping mom on her toes. He has learned that he is not an only child and that as Claire grows he has some competition. Conner has learned how to torment his sissy and give mom a rather BIG headache.

The car seats are being separated this week. Conner takes Claire's blanky, toys and has figured out how to grab her hand really hard while we drive. Sissy has been getting beat up on.

Do you think they will notice I took sissy's blanky?

Everyday Conner has a million new words to say... I just wonder where he gets them from. We have had much success with his big boy bed. Conner no longer sleeps with the side rail up. So far no accidents with falling out. He is challenging me on his naps right now. This makes mommy sad since that is her quiet time....

Claire will be 6 months old tomorrow. She is 20 pounds plus and continues to amaze Mike and I every single day. She is now sitting up on her own, some days we need a little pillow support but she's figured out that she can play with more of her toys if she is sitting. When she is on her back she roles around and is all smiles. We are doing a 10 hour stretch at night of sleep. Unfortunately it's from 6:00 pm till 4:00 am and then back to bed till 7:00 am. I guess I will take what I can get. It's more rest than some get right? Our teeth are almost in. I can see both bottom teeth and expect them any day. I guess I can say that considering I thought we'd see them a few months ago.

Claire LOVES avocados, but then again she LOVES food.

The Dana Point Harbor......

Today we took a family trip to the Dana Point harbor..We had a great lunch and then walked around looking for fish and crabby's (as Conner calls them). We saw all kinds of boats and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Daddy and Conner ..............................

Claire was taking it easy in her car seat.
