My little Monkey baby

I know you won't believe this-
So I went in to check on Claire the other night and she was asleep sucking her.....
TOES! What? I would give anything for a picture! Seriously- she sucks them during the day but she was asleep choosing to suck them vs her thumb....I still laugh picturing it. And yes- I just walked out after a double take and let her continue....

Father's Day Weekend

We recently celebrated Father's Day! Happy Father's Day to a great Daddy! Greg is a great Daddy to Jack and Claire. We started this morning out waking Greg up (after letting him sleep in a tad) to a big card Jack and I made and a few gifts. We then went to the pool and then played outside. Here are a few pictures from today. As far as any updates-Claire has decided she doesn't want to be a good night sleeper anymore. She wakes up often now and it is driving me crazy! I think she is teething as Jack had teeth at this point. She is still happy during the day but drooling all over. Jack is doing good. We went to the eye doctor again and he still has to have his tear duct opened. (Which I am so sad about!) He has a history of wheezing so I do not want him to be put under but I just have to trust God on this one. We waited as long as we could. His appt will be in Sept so I will keep you posted. Please send prayers his way! Hugs and Kisses! Thanks Greg for all you do for us! I wouldn't trade my life with anyone.

Today it was raining hard... Jack said "Mommy the man is snoring! " Then he made a snoring noise and said "Mommy like this!" I couldn't figure out what he meant and then he started singing "It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring...." I finished the song and said "Oh Yes!" and we sang together "He went to bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning." Then Jack looked at me as serious as could be and said" Mommy let's go help the man he bumped his head." " Come on!"So funny!

I also must add that last week when I got home from work he said "I missed you Mommy!" I melted... This weekend from the top of the stairs he also told me he loved me again... Yes- my heart melted again!

Cute info

Here are a few pictures from the last 2 weekends. We have been enjoying the pool! Jack loves being in the water. Claire likes to nap and take a few quick dips... Quick updates-Claire slept 10 hours the other night! Yea! It was the first night I gave her rice cereal. She still doesn't seem ready for it. She doesn't know how to use her tongue just yet. However- she is learning... She is a tummy sleeper for sure! Without the angel care monitor I would never allow it but I feel safer with it on. Jack found a candlestick this weekend of mine. He asked me what it was and I told him to please put it back that it was a candlestick and would break. The minute he heard candlestick he stopped in his tracks and placed it on the floor. He then started jumping over it. He said "Jack jump candlestick." We laughed and laughed. He listens to his nursery rhymes oh so well. :) Just wanted to add that Claire loves her big brother so much! She will still crack up at him and give true belly laughs over and over. It makes every second of every day worth it to watch their interactions. There is no love like a childs love...

I updated on Claire on the last post but I will also add she definitely recognizes her bottle. She will go crazy if she sees it and is hungry. She is flipping over and over faster each day. She still loves to laugh at Jack and it is one of the sweetest things. She loves to take baths and especially enjoys them when she gets to take one with Jack. One of the cutest things about Claire is that she can smile with her eyes. I can't really explain it but you would get it if you saw her. She also loves to smile at us at night during her feedings. That is tricky bc I don't want to participate to get her excited but it is so hard to ignore it. She flashes smiles like no other. She still is not fond of her formula as you can tell by her weight but the Dr. is not concerned. She loves her feet and hands and is definitely teething. Everything goes in her mouth and her gums are white. Jack had a tooth at this point and Dr. Lake said Claire's are coming. She got 2 shots at her last visit and did not flinch on one and cried on the other. She is showing more of her personality and we love it! Happy 4 Months Claire Bear!
