3 Months!

Guess what?!?!  In a few short hours, on March 30, Claire turns 3 months old.  This time 3 months ago, we were sitting in the hospital, thanking our lucky stars that they have 8 sports channels and we could watch the Jayhawks while we waited for her to show up.  And nothing has been the same since!

I don't have to tell you that she's the cutest baby in the history of the earth, its pretty obvious.  She's smart and silly and messy and bossy.  (Basically a perfect hybrid of her parents.)  Check out this video of her being chatty with her mom.  The camera ran out of memory right at the end, so she didn't get to say hi or give a shout out to the long list of people she wanted to.  Oops. 


And oops, here's a picture from Valentine's Day that I forgot to post... but I really wanted to share it.  She looks like a pink nightmare!

And this is Claire truly in her element:  She LOVES her changing table, favorite place on earth.  It doesn't even matter if she's being changed, however in general, the fewer clothes the better.

And here's a rare moment - Claire smiling during Tummy Time.  Usually just a minute on her tummy and she is a grumpy gal.  We're working on it!

And as you can see below, Claire is AWFULLY serious about her Jayhawks.  So proud of the boys this year!

For some reason, this picture refuses to turn the right way.  It's a stubborn, curious picture, just like the little girl in it. 

And its high time all of Claire's fans have a tour of her bedroom.  She LOVES all the bright colors.  We'll start off with her favorite part... (props to Grandma Lisa for making the wall hangings and the orange curtains!)

And here's the dresser Clint painted for her!

And the crib!  She loves to watch her mobile go round and round. 

 Oh yeah, and her handy dandy dad made this awesome book shelf for her.  He's SO cool. 

Okie Dokie!  Time for bath and then time for bed!  Thanks for touring Claire's room!  And thank God for our big girl!  (Almost 12 lbs!!!)

Double Dose

Warning:  This blog post contains excessive cuteness - and it does not all belong to me.  This post is the product of a trip to the Jackson homeland (love staying at the Grandparents house). I really enjoyed meeting lots of my great aunts and uncles and my AMAZING great grandparents!  So much fun was had.  But the BEST part was playing with my cousin COLT!  See pics below! (And notice how my pictures are bigger than ever before, nice huh?)


So happy to be wearing a monkey hoodie!

My buddy Colt loves me!  And he can fit my entire fist into his mouth!  Doesn't bother me though, he doesn't have teeth yet!

 When I grow up, I want to be just as beautiful, loving and fun as my aunt Carla! 

 Carla Colton Clint Claire!  Alliteration at its finest!  We'll do our best to give Grandma and Grandpa all the tongue twisters we can. 

Me again, just sitting up and letting my food settle while mom and dad play cards with Carla and Geoffry. 

 Haha, matching bibs!  And we didn't even plan it!!!!  Man we're good.  (PS this is the excessive cuteness I warned you about!)  I should also add that spit really DOES happen, certainly to me!

I don't have to tell you how much fun I'm having, just look at my face!

Ahhh, my happy family.  We are just too lucky to have each other!
