Spring Storm

 A branch that broke off one of our trees.

 The power was out for a couple hours that morning too, so the kids started making a snow sculpture.

Two Months (Clara)

Clara at two months old.

(I'm writing all this down for my own info, it's amazing how fast I forget)

- Weighing in around 13 lbs according to our scale (however accurate it may be) ☺

- She's been smiling for a couple of weeks now.

- Sleeping longer stretches at night (like 5-6 hours), but mom knows better than to get excited about this because all my kids start sleeping through the night around two months old and then hit a growth spurt or something and it goes back to crap. ;)

- She lost all her hair except a patch in the back near her neck, but she's growing some dark fuzz now.

- I hope it's safe to say that she's not colicky or anything. She'll have a fussy day here and there, but at least it's not everyday like it was with my boys.

- She has a little bit of reflux, but not bad enough that we need to medicate, I just try and make sure to keep her propped up for awhile after feeding.  Some nights I'll hear her ruminating...for lack of a better word while she's trying to sleep.

- The other kids adore her, and I still have to watch Britton very closely because he'd like to love her to death. (literally) I think Britton and Ella ask to hold her about every ten minutes. Ella had major regression a few weeks after Clara was born and we dealt with a very trying couple of weeks of potty accidents. She seems to have gotten over it and is back to normal. Whew.

 

There Goes the Neighborhood...

Actually, I think it improved a little...☺

Hard to think that I lived in that house for about 3.5 years.

I wasn't sad to see it go.

 

Spirit Week

I officially hate Spirit Week at school. ☺

Maybe next year we'll be a little bit more prepared, ha.

 Crazy hair day.

He told me he wanted it spiked, so I spiked it, but when he looked in the mirror he said, "Mom, that's a little too crazy!"

So he settled for a mohawk.

I didn't get pictures of animal day (he was a snake, but he wasn't dressed up), superhero day, or pajama day. I think Pajama day was Aidan's favorite because he didn't have to get dressed. ☺

This picture was hat day and backwards day, but I took the picture after he put on his jacket.

Easy...

Easy like Sunday morning...♪ ♫

Sweet

"Mom, take a picture of me and baby Clara."

 "Mom, take another picture of me with baby Clara."

What a good big brother. ☺
