Clare is 4 mos old!

Clare turned 4 mos old last saturday and had her appt today. She is way off the chart and 20lbs 2oz, 27 inches tall and 17 inch head circumference. She is 1 lb bigger than Zach at this age and 3 1/2 lbs bigger than nathaniel. I remember thinking Nathaniel was big for his age. Here are picts of the boys at 4 mos

needless to say, we are rocketing through clothes. She is wearing 9 mos clothes and easily fitting 12 mos and 18mos onesies.
sorry no picts...not on my computer at the moment.
nathaniel has progressed so much on his bike riding. We only took his training wheels off on friday and today he rode his two wheeler to the basketball court about 3 blocks away with no assistance needed from me and is a pro up and down our driveway. Next up, mastering tying his shoes so he can wear his new shoes to school.

two wheels!

He learned how to do this in 10 min of good instruction by Pete. Really progressed in the next day and can start himself and ride in circles in the yard. He's very pleased with himself which is so fun to watch.

Clare's Baptism

We had a wonderful day with many family and friends to celebrate Clare's baptism.  We appreciate you all traveling so far for the weekend.  Clare was awake and alert through the entire ceremony and was just looking around.  The only fuss she made was when the baptismal water got in her eyes, nose and mouth but she recovered well.  Uncle Adam and our friend Gracie (Amy's daughter) are Clare's godparents. The weather was beautiful so kids all got to slip n slide after the baptism. 

 

 All the kids in attendance.

 Amy, Jason, Gracie, Emmett, Jessie with Clare.

 

 This one got out of order but I loved how Clare was sneaking a peek at our good friend Charlie who took all these great photos for us.  Thanks Charlie!
