Rolled!

Yes. It's true.. I, Claire, did my first back to front roll on Saturday morning for Daddy and big sister Vivi. Mommy had been practicing with me earlier in the morning and was in the other room when this exciting new 'trick' took place. And then later on in the day, mommy placed me on the floor (on my back) and walked down the hallway and came back to see me looking around on my tummy. I didn't show mommy my new trick until dinner time at my Nana's and papa's house. My mommy was able to get a picture of me in my new position but she'll have to get a little video this week. Well, off to bed.

4 month Check up

Well, little Claire had her four month check up the other day and big sister Vivi had her two year check up. We thought that we would share with you all in how they are growing. Next to Claire's information is Vivi's when she was 4 months in ( ).

Claire Marie Smith : Height : 24 in ..in the 41% (Vivi 23.25...8%)

Weight: 12 lbs 12oz ...30% (11 lbs 10oz ...6%)

Head Circumference : 15 1/4... 4% (16 1/2.. 66%)

A few differences but both were healthy little girls ..

Vivi at her check up now : height - 32 3/4 (22%)

weight- 22 lbs (3%)

18 3/4 (54%).. she is growing into her head quite nicely...

And off I go because I hear that nap time is over!!!!

Sorry for the wait!

I am so sorry for not writing over the past (10) months... As you last recall.. Vivi found out she had a sister on the way. She was very excited. Many things in Vivi's life took place in the last 10 months and I wish I had shared them along the way but I can't go back and retell them. I can only hope from this day forward that I am able to share at least weekly. Here is a little of what took place:
*Vivi took her first plane trip to Hawaii for Spring Break and had a blast on the beach.
*Mommy was put on "bed rest" the last 4-5 weeks of pregnancy so little "Claire" would be healthy.
*Little Claire Maire Smith was born on June 20, 2008 weighing in at 6 lbs. 12 oz
and 19 in long.. and mommy did it without "drugs".
*Vivi, Claire and mommy are enjoy 6 months together until mommy has to go back
to work in January.
*Vivi turned "2" on October 16th.

So many everyday things happened along the way and I wish I would have shared them. But, I can only hope that from now on I will.

Here are some of my favorite photos taken lately.
