2 months old...ALREADY!

It's true sweet little Claire turned 2 months old this weekend! She is doing great! She is so calm and sweet! We are having so much fun loving on her! One of her best qualities...she sleeps like a champ! An average night is 10 pm- 6 am then she eats and goes back to sleep until 9 or 10. If she could just talk her sister into sleeping in we would be all set:) She is smiling now which melts us each and every time we see it!

Some of the sweet smiles we have caught.

She still falls asleep all the time no matter what is going on.

Besides the old man hair style...it is curly.

2 months old and already headed to her second baby shower.

She was hungry but it was nap time for Emmers so I put her in this chair (crying) and laid this stuffed animal on her thinking she was not going to be very happy when I returned...this is what I found. Asleep holding on to the elephant! Sweetest thing ever!

My sister still LOVES me!

So funny!

If only we could be this comfortable at any given moment!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day weekend was one of the best we have had! The weather was great (finally), the girls were great and we were able to do some really fun things!

Makenna's 5th birthday party!

On Mother's day we went to the zoo after breakfast. We had so much fun!

Just checking things out.

Bouncy bridge...it's the best!

Not sure if you can see Claire under there but she was with us...slept the whole time!

Emme loves when the "teachers" are out letting her touch things.

After naps we headed downtown for a walk on the canal and to have dinner.

Wearing our "sunnies" though she is busy looking at the horses so she couldn't look at us!

Just a little proof that we do take Claire with us!

Her favorite seat! Daddy doesn't mind either!

Round two in Evansville

We came home for a day after Easter to get more clothes and wait on Uncle Matt. Then we headed back to Evansville for a week to say our good-byes to Grandpa.

I got to meet Uncle Matt!

My cousin had a baby in the same hospital that my Grandpa was in. It was on the other side of the hospital so Gram and I caught a ride over to meet her!

I got to spend some time at the Selms playing with Aubrey and Makenna.

Trying on Pop Pop's hat.

Pop Pop and I found a quiet spot to take a nap at the hospital.

I had my first oreo one night...can you tell if I liked it?

The girls were so good at the funeral home

As you can see the funeral wore Claire out!

Easter

We did Easter a little different this year. Since we were in Evansville on Easter we celebrated as a family when we got home.

Our little bunnies

Checking out what the Easter bunny left.

Jelly beans and money! My favorites!

I loved looking for all my eggs. It was nasty out so they were all inside.

5 Weeks-Meeting Grandma and Grandpa Great

We went to Evansville for Easter weekend to see Grandpa and Grandma Emmerson. We were excited for them to meet Claire. Grandpa was in the hospital so we thought it might be interesting keeping everyone entertained there. The girls blew us away. I ended up being there a total of 10 days and there were days we were at the hospital from breakfast until past bedtime. They were great! Emmers played quietly and kept herself busy and Claire slept! We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They were able to bring so mcuh needed joy to Grandma after Grandpa died.

Speaking of entertained...this is how a 2 year old keeps busy while Mom feeds a baby along the way!

Meeting Grandpa. We are so happy to have these pictures since it will be the only time he was able to hold her. He died one week from the day this picture was taken.


Look at the smile! He was such a proud Grandpa and told us so all the time!

Even when his arm got tired he wasn't ready to give her up so we just helped.

Meeting Grandma

How does one keep busy at the hospital...Sleep on the couch!

and...play with Grandma

This is was little tray for my many meals I had at the hospital! I thought it was great!

Grandma even rubbed my feet!

More napping!

Claire spent a lot of time right by Grandpa's bed! She brought a lot of smiles to who ever was sitting with him! As you can see she had no problem sleeping!
