New Years

We spent Christmas with Matt's Family over New Years. Aunt Becky had just returned from Sri Lanka and brought all of us really neat gifts. We were supposed to go to Topeka on New Years day to see the VanGilders because Reasa, Jon and Kolby were home from Kentucky but everyone in Kansas got sick so we couldn't go:(

Claire's 1st Christmas

I decided to put some older pictures of Claire on this site, I had to share her 1st Christmas. It was very eventful this year not because it was her 1st Christmas but also her 1st plane ride and her 1st time seeing Aunt Angie. She did really well on the plane ride, luckily we had small children behind us both ways so that kept her entertained, she loves kids.

Angie flew home from Seattle for Christmas so the whole family was together this year. It is still so much fun to watch Alex and Katie open their gifts. Aunt Missy made Claire a little scarf and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen!

6 Month Checkup/Photo Shoot

Claire had her 6 month checkup yesterday and got 4 shots, poor thing. I think it is harder on me than her, I get so nervous going into the dr's office almost like I am getting shots? Weird... anyways, she did really good this time, even the nurse was impressed. Here are her stats:

Weight: 15lbs 2oz - 50th percentile
Length: 26 1/4 - 75th percentile
Head: too small - 5th percentile (Einstein had a very small head as well)

Today we went and had her 6 month photos taken at JC Penney. She looked so cute in her red dress and red velvet shoes, Matt's mom came along too. The last photo they took was a profile and it is my favorite. I have illegally scanned it in and posted it to this site for you all to enjoy. Hopefully the blog police won't come and haul me away!
