Happy Fall!

Time of year

Wheezy breathing 

+ 

Two oxygen treatments, and even more from home 

= 

One sick little girl.

Guess its that time of year! Darn!

Now, lets just hope Claire doesn't get the virus. 

Pictures

Pretty Pretty Princess. I mean, doesn't that hair just scream "Beautiful!!"?

We finally lit a fire this weekend in our fire pit! So fun! This picture makes me smile because it is so typical...Claire hanging in the background, Lilly jabbering on and on about something, Anton thinking "I have no idea what she is talking about"... all while lighting his marshmallows on fire. Good times. 

We have teeth!! Two of them!! What a love bug - I didn't even know she was getting them. Oooh, I love her.

Mission Accomplished!

Lillian Virginia is now potty trained.

HALLELUJAH!!!

She is such a big girl now, and is very proud of herself!

Another accomplishment: she puts her dirty dishes from breakfast into the dishwasher. Of course, they don't go in correctly, but that's OK, at least she puts them in there!

Oh my little Claire Bear...you melt my heart. I love you so much, I can hardly stand it. I am so glad you are forever mine. And, your daddy is so absolutely smitten with you, I have never seen anything quite like it! I can honestly say, this is one of the happiest times of my life...and it is because of you and your darling sister. I am so in love with being your mommy. I love every single teeny tiny thing about you.  Some of our most favorite little details about you are:
*When one of us is holding you on our lap, you always turn up to gaze at us. I can't even describe how sweet it is. It is our favorite thing you do.
*The moment one of us comes and gets you out of your bed, you smile. No matter how tired you are.
*They way you twirl your little feet when you get excited about something.
*When you are ready to go to sleep, you kick your legs up in the air, roll away from us and suck your thumb. That is one of your daddy's very favorite things you do.
*You are fascinated with Lilly. You love to sit and watch her.
*You love your mom and dad very most. We tease that you are the sweetest baby in the world...but only to us. You are slowly starting to let others snuggle you...but not many!
*Your laugh is so funny. It sounds like an old man laugh....deep and raspy.
*Your eyes are the most interesting color. We aren't sure what color they are, but they are gorgeous.
*You love the sound of your voice, and talk the very most when you are on your changing table, or in your red chair.
* The way you scrunch your nose when you cry.
*Your smile. It is addictive. The moment you smile at someone, they can't help but smile back.
*You like to be snuggled. The feel of your squishy little body is the best! Especially when you are in your snuggly jammies.

We love you little Claire Bear! So so so very much!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Lilly Bug

October

We are so glad it is October around our house! We put our Halloween decorations up on October 1st, and now I can finally dress my girls in these adorable shirts. As you can imagine, Lilly was in heaven wearing her new Halloween shirt that Nana gave her! I love October!!
