One month old!!

Claire turned one month old last week! It feels like just yesterday we had her and other times it feels like years :) She had her one month check up and she was 8 lbs 6 oz and 21 inches long.

Happy 1 month!


Claire and I got to have lunch with our Mommy's group. There are 9 moms in the group and all of the babies were born within 2 weeks of each other...7 of them (including Claire) were all born in the same week! It will be fun to see how all of the babies grow.



Over the weekend, we all went to watch the UVA football team in Alexandria. They were up here doing a practice scrimmage. We met up with the Deekens and had a lot of fun!
Go Hoos!

Family Time!

We had a great past weekend filled with lots of family time! Claire got to meet a lot of people! On Saturday Aunt Cindy & Jiffy and Uncle Mike & Danny (and of course Grandma and Grandpa) came up for a visit. We had a nice lunch and then spontaneously we piled in the car and headed to Carmax. Having 2 uncles here in the car business and us getting somewhat of an urge for a bigger car...we decided to go see what they had and do some test drives. No new car for now!
The gang!

Sunday we headed over to my cousin Melissa's house for a baptism party for her daughter, Caroline. Claire and Caroline are 6 months apart so I can't wait until they can play together!


On Monday we got a surprise visit from Uncle Jim!



This past week we also celebrated St. Patrick's Day...which pretty much entailed Claire wearing her green outfit :) Grandma also came up for a visit and we all got to go on a fun shopping outing to Walmart and Homegoods! Claire also got to go out to dinner with Mommy and Daddy to Cheesecake Factory...yum! She slept the whole time!


Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Always is doing something with her hands!

2 Week Recap

Trying to catch up on all that has happened in the past 2 weeks. It's been a whirlwind!

Coming Home!
We left the hospital 2 days after Claire arrived and we're welcomed home by both grandparents and Aunt Kristen. 

A lot has happened in the past 2 weeks. Claire got her first bath at home, lost her belly button, went on her first walk. We've also had lots of play time and book readings.

Luckily, labor went surprisingly well. She was here after only 30 minutes of pushing. David was a great labor coach! We are truly blessed to welcome her into our family!
