Traveling Baby

Since Claire is the third, she spends a lot more time in her carseat and running around than the other two did at her age.  She loves being in her seat and is very content in the car...yeah!

First two months

Claire is two months old

Claire is growing like a weed.  She is 11 1/2 lbs. and in the 75th percentile for weight, and 22 3/4 inches long and in the 50th percentile for height.  Her head is just like both her big brothers, off the charts!!!

Group Shots

It is very interesting trying to get a three year old, two year old, and new baby to all smile and look good for the camera.  It is a work in progress, that is for sure!

Easter

We were lucky to have some of the Blake family in for Easter to celebrate.  The boys both really enjoyed leaving carrots out for the bunny and being surprised by their baskets and new sandbox on Easter morning.  They were also all three wonderful at church and brunch.  It was a great day!

Photo Shoot

These were some of the pictures I took one morning with Claire to get some baby shots for her birth announcement.

Claire is one month old

She is doing very well!  Claire is a laid back but very happy baby most of the time.

Aunt Lisa Visits

The kids were so excited (so were Pete and I) that Aunt Lisa came from Chicago to spend four days with us.  It was wonderful introducing her to Claire and also having an extra hand to go fun places.  It was also great to be able to celebrate her 30th birthday with her!  We are so thankful that she comes to see us so often!

Easter Bunny Visits

Yes, we visited the Easter Bunny a number of times this year.  Most of the time we just happen to be places we happen to be too.  The first meeting, Will really liked him but Miles just wasn't sure.  By the time Easter came, both Miles and Will were huge Easter Bunny fans.

Walks

Thank goodness there has been such nice spring weather.  We have taken advantage of the weather by doing a lot of playing outside.  We love baseball, the water table, and our new sandbox.  One thing we haven't done as much of is going for a walk.  Three seems to be a lot to handle now when we go for walks. :)

A boy and his best friend

Will has had "Lioney" since the day he was born.  All three of the kids have a Gund stuffed animal blanket from grandma and grandpa.  Will loves his lion!

Easter Bunny Brunch

We had a wonderful time at Nordstrom the week before Easter for a Easter Bunny brunch.  The kids visited with the Easter Bunny, got balloon animals made, could have had their face painted, and went on an easter egg hunt in the kids department of the store.  We all had a blast!

Outside Fun

Thank goodness for our wonderful backyard.  Almost every afternoon, we are outside discovery something.  It is amazing how messy too little boys can get in such a short amount of time.

Sleeping baby

There is something about a sleeping infant that I just love.  Claire is a very chill little girl, but it is still very nice to see her in baby dreamland.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

It is so hard to get three little ones to smile, look, and sit still for a picture.  This was my best attempt!

Bath Time

Claire loves the water just like her big brothers.  Our favorite part of bath time is watching her hair fluff up after it dries.  She is such a cutie!
