1 month old baby & Easter prep fun

 Claire was one month old on Tuesday, can you believe it?  It is already going too fast:)  She had her one month doctor check up and she is quite the chunky monkey, already at 10 lbs 10 ounces!  That's 95th percentile, folks.  She's a good eater!  Her length is 21", which is about 50th percentile.  So she's gained 3 lbs and 1 inch since her birth, not too shabby.  We looked up Luke's stats and he was 10 lbs 13 ounces at his 1 month visit, but he started 11 ounces heavier than her!  Anyway, she's already grown out of her newborn clothes and diapers, and it is really fun dressing her up in all the fun girly 3 month clothes we have.

This past week we've also been having fun getting Luke ready for Easter and enjoying some great visits from friends.  We are loving life!

Luke helping Claire with tummy time.  He's really good at tummy time.

Look at those cheeks, can't help smooching them!!

Snuggling with Daddy

She's awake so much more, and will hold eye contact with you for a long time

Something about how babies sleep with their arms up at first is so cute to me.

Matt and I went for a walk in Open Lands with Spumoni and Luke.  I think Spumoni won for the happiest to get outside,  although I may have been a close second.  I'm sick of being cooped up!  I'm ready for Spring!

Luke loved stomping in every muddy puddle he saw, which with the thaw was a lot!

Dinner with my friend Shannon

Claire's first "playdate" with my friend Olga and her 6 week old daughter Sophia.

Lake Forest Park & Rec Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday.  Luke gave the Easter bunny a high five, but was a little shy.  I was surprised he even showed interest in meeting him at all.  

Lots of games for the kids to play for candy and prizes.  Luke was quite the stinkers at this event, refusing to wait in line for any of the activities (which there were lines for all of them) and even refusing to participate in the Easter egg hunt after being SO excited for it all morning. I think the crowds were a little overwhelming for him.  At the very end of the event, when it was practically empty, we got the most activities in - like the photo above.

Puzzles with Gram

Snuggles with Mommy

First family outing to Sweets!  Claire chose to indulge in her pacifier instead of a waffle cone like her Mom.

Playdate on Sunday with our friends Tonya and Justin.  Their little girl Taylor is 8 months old, and their son Drew is 3.

Luke and Drew played so well together!

About to go to my 1 month doctor appointment.

"I'm HOW MANY pounds already?  Yippee!"

Visit from coworker Brandi

Dying Easter eggs with the Dukersons.

Inflatable Easter bunny at home.  Luke shares his Easter eggs with him.  Every night he goes to sleep (we unplug him and he deflates) and every morning Luke helps him "wake up"

Getting the band together with Kirah today:)
