Spring Break Visit

Grandma Hein and Aunt Karen Hein came to visit us over their Spring Break. We had so much fun, we went shopping at the Old Market in Omaha and toured the Morrill Hall Museum in Lincoln which has one of the world's largest mammoth skeletons. We also saw a show at the planetarium called, "Extreme Weather on the Plains". Grandma Weyer, and Aunt Becky came over for dinner one night too.

P.S. Claire's bottom right tooth just broke through last night, now we have two baby!

Sydney Bean had surgery

Sydney, the daughter of my really, really good friends had surgery on March 20th. Her spinal cord was tethered and they had to do surgery to correct the problem. Luckily they found the problem sooner rather than later as it can create numerous problems. Sydney did really well and is home from Children's hospital and back to school. Get well soon Sydney!

Houston, we have a tooth

I thought this day would never come, Claire's first little tooth has broken through the skin. It came as quite a surprise as I don't recall extreme fussiness or any other symptoms. Last Saturday night I stuck my finger in her mouth to fish for a foreign object she had eaten off the floor and felt it. It is her upper left tooth which I thought was strange, aren't they supposed to get their bottom teeth first?

So this week she has been waking up every night around 3AM, maybe she is getting another one??

I look like my Grandpa

We get mixed responses as to who Claire looks like, does she look like me or Matt or who? Personally, I think she looks a lot like her Grandpa. Check out this photo!

So here is Claire's first ever poll, tell us what you think.

9 Month Check Up

First things first: Percentiles. Claire is still in the 5th percentile for her head, her head doesn't seem small to me but I guess it's hard to tell since I see her all the time. She is in the 15th percentile for her weight, and 90th percentile for her height. Our pediatrician thought she would stay this way from now on, her words "she's a lucky girl, long and lean!" She is still not a big eater but we were given the go ahead to give her less formula and more food. She said to give her more fats to help with her brain development by adding it to her foods, she recommended butter, gravy and velveeta. YUM!!

Here are the latest stats:

Weight: 16 pounds, 6.5 ounces
Height: 28.75 inches
Head Circumference: 41.7 cm

Going to the Park

On Sunday Matt and I took Claire to the park, unfortunately the swings were not out yet but she did get a ride on the merry-go-round and the frog spring rider thing. The wind decided to pick up so our fun was short lived, luckily we live just down the street from the park. Isn't her hat cute (thanks Katie Bug)!

Had to share

Don't have much to post, but how cute is she???
