Christmas

FYI - the family picture above is discolored. I feel like it makes Claire look like a corpse:-) Nonetheless, it's a family picture so I am going to keep it up while trying to correct the discoloration. Claire is not ill, it just looks that way:-)

Claire is 7 Weeks Old!

Claire is doing great. She is happy, eats great, and is still an awesome sleeper! We couldn't love her more. She is such a blessing to our family!!!

A Few New Pics

The Sling and The Swing

Since it has just been me and Claire during the day (the boys are in SC), I have taken some time to get her used to the sling and the new cradle swing I bought her. Well, so far, she absolutely loves the sling. I am very excited about this because neither of the boys particularly cared for it when they were little. As for the swing, I think this is still going to take some getting used to. It's like she's happy in it for a few minutes and then burst into tears. I don't even have it swinging at this stage of the game because I don't want to scare her, so I just have the mobile going along with the music. I think, I am praying, that she will begin to love it. I need a few things around the house to be able to place her in when the boys get back and are requiring attention from me.
