Fun times

We had a great time with my sister and her family these past few weeks. This is sort of a random posting of pictures, as we're about to leave in a few days to visit my folks! Here we are all together (minus Matt and John)- it's impossible to get everyone looking at the camera at once. ;)

Lucy and Sam really hit it off, and had lots of fun being silly together, pretending, and playing chase.

Clara got lots of love and attention from Sam and Jeff. Jeff especially was so excited about Clara, always exclaiming "baby!" when he saw her.

I love this picture of Jeff.


Lucy loves holding her baby- she often calls her, "you silly my little baby".

Clara is lucky to have 2 wonderful big "brothers".

Clara is such a roly-poly, happy little girl these days. She smiles and beams at us, and is very content in general. We've started her on rice cereal, which she likes- Lucy helps to feed her too. She's a big fan of the exersaucer, loves grabbing onto toys and making pterodactyl noises. It's so fun to see her exploring her world.

Lucy is often in motion these days. She loves challenging herself with new gymnastic moves she invents. Recently she's started getting ready for bed by herself- the first night she surprised me with it when I was talking to a friend. She was beaming when she came down the stairs, having brushed her teeth, gone potty, and put on her diaper and pjs.

And one last picture of little Clara.
