So Long Mountain Man, Hello There Handsome!!

So a here's a few things we've been up to lately...

Claire had her first bite of cereal. She gagged and threw up all over me. Not her favorite. ha ha.

She's starting to warm up to it and is getting better.

Chase is no longer a hairy beast of a Mountain Man. We took his beard off in pieces. It was quite hilarious! I'm just so happy the nappy beard is gone!! Yay!

The moment he got home we took the scissors to him.

Trimmed the beard up to make it even.

Love the chops. Don't get anymore white trash than that.

Goat man.

Cowboy?

Zorro?

???

Nacho Libre?

Raging Nose Hairs!!

Just Plain Wrong!

OH there you are Peter!

Gardening 101

So we decided that we wanted to do a garden this year. It was my birthday present. It was a lot of work but I'm so excited! We planted 16 different plants. They are just now starting to sprout. I was going to blog each stage but I can't even find the time to keep my house clean, the kiddos happy and myself bathed, let alone blog about my garden. ha ha.

Claire enjoyed the shade.

Kael enjoyed the mud.

A little too much.

I kept fixing his shirt but he kept taking the one side off. I was thinking maybe he wanted to be sexy. Chase said noooooo, He wants to be Tarzan. Ha ha.

Tilling the dirt! Oh joy, just what he wanted to do!

Our whole back wall is a garden now. I'll proudly show you my plants once they get bigger. They are just now starting to sprout.

Claire is Five months now! I have got a crafting bug in my butt again and I have been playing around with making hair bows and crocheting up a storm. Claire has the tiniest feet and newborn shoes don't even fit her. So I have been crocheting and sewing her some booties. I found this hat pattern too. I made a flower to go with it and it is to die for. This bow was the first one I made. It turned out HUGE!! So I put it with the hat for fun and now it will just get tucked away until she gets older. I've made some others that are drastically smaller and fit her much better ha ha.

Claire is rolling over like a champ now. It's her way of crawling around now. He tries so hard to sit up too. This last picture is her almost all the time when she lays down. She tries to sit up then gives up and rolls around like crazy. She does this crazy wiggle/dance thing too. Sometimes I worry that somethings wrong with her when she does it. Because she is such a spaz. Doc says she's fine. ha, ha. Yes I seriously asked the doctor. I will have to post it some time because it's seriously hilarious. Well better go. That's us lately.

Fluffy

These two kiddos take up all my time. Especially the little one. She is such a mama's girl. I love that she loves me so much but I hate that I can't get anything done when she's around. Kael is warming up to her a little more now that she is getting more aware. He will share his toys with her sometimes and tells her not to chew on them. ha ha. He is the best at making her giggle. She sure loves to watch him.

Kael being silly for Claire

Chase is growing a beard for Mountain Man this year. He hasn't shaved since Claire was born. Gross. But it will be over soon. Yay.

We decided on a whim to go to Chase's parents cabin and play in the snow. There wasn't a lot but there was just enough to have some fun and build a couple snowmen.

Claire is now Four Months old. I have been slacking on my picture taking mostly because she doesn't let me have a second to myself. Anyways the other day was such a nice day so we decided to spend some time in the back yard. Kael ran around and she was being so good laying on her blanket so I decided it was a good opportunity to snap her four month pics. She is such a pretty girl. Such a stinker but I love her just the same.

I love how chubby she is but she is still so little. She is in the 25-10% range. She has two nicknames. Claire Bear, cause she's fluffy like a teddy bear (carebear) and Pigeon, because when she talks she coos like a pigeon. ha ha.

Got to love the drool. This girl can drool like a champ. Her shirt is always soaked and she is always blowing spit bubbles.

Look at those beautiful blue eyes. She has surprised me and kept the blue eyes. She started out so dark but has lightened up quite a bit. She still has brown hair but its not as dark as it was. Her beautiful dark curly hair all fell out but it still seems to be growing in brown. We will see if it changes any.

Well she is now awake and screaming so that means my time is up.
