Walker Time

Claire was not content with her new super speedy crawling abilities, she had to go right to mastering the art of walking.  She is learning to walk the same way that her big brother did, with the walker.  Here is a little clip of her walker walking:)

Here are some other pics from the week.

I can't remember if I've reported that Claire is in a little phase here where she wakes up between 4-5am and then one of us ends up feeding her a bottle and then sleeping with her on the couch for another hour.  Then Luke wakes up and feels jealous of us snuggling with Claire so wants to get in on the action.  (One of the rare occasions that he wants to snuggle!)

Driving in my car, beep beep

I found an owl in the bath!

Pretty dress for Jackson's birthday party

We got to meet new Baby Benton at the party.  Just 3 months old.

Party was at the YMCA, so fun for all the kids.

Pizza and cupcakes and Lighting McQueen.  What's not to love for a gaggle of 3 year old boys?

Do you have a question?

Dad and Matt teaching Luke how to play pool

Aunt Susan came over for dinner, too:)  It was such a cozy and fun Fall day.

Beautiful Fall dinner settings with a delicious feast!

My turn for early morning kiddie snuggles

Here is a little video of Claire and Spumoni.  He is sooo sweet with her.  You can see how gentle he is in this video where she takes the ball from him.

I'll close with a couple Luke quotables:
"But I don't have to go potty!  My penis doesn't have any pee in it!"
"I don't want to be an adult, I want to stay like this!"
"I need to get something with wheels." - this is what he says when he is going to say good night to the parent who isn't putting him to bed.  He vrooms a car/truck/train from his room to the family room to says good night.
