Claire is 2 months. She just experienced her first stretch of 6 hours! At two months she is smiling at people, especially Annabelle! She is reaching for dangling objects. She can fall asleep on her own (she likes to be swaddle in her miracle blanket)! She is a very easy going baby!

Little Mommy Annabelle
Annabelle is busy putting her baby doll to sleep
But, she has to swaddle her baby first
And then she has to use wipes to clean the baby
The baby also needs clothes
BOUNCING CHAIR
Claire likes sitting in her bouncing chair now and tries to reach at the toys. That is one of the first things Claire does in the morning after she eats while Mommy chases Annabelle around to change her diaper and get her dressed!

kisses for Mommy
Annabelle is learning to give kisses. She gave Mommy a kiss for the first time yesterday! As soon as she gives the kiss, she starts cracking up! What a funny girl she is!
Where's Annabelle
One of Annabelle's favorite people games is playing "Where's Annabelle?" as she hides behind my back. Yes, that is a chip bowl on her head.

ball play
One of Annabelle balls that she likes to throw to mom, dad, Chaz, or just around the room so she could go get it herself.
Water works park
We tried to feed the ducks, but there were too many geese in the way. We played on the park and her favorite thing was climbing these blocks. She was still too little for most of the equipment.

17 months update for Annabelle
Annabelle is now 17 months. She is experiencing lots of jealous moments while Mommy is holding Claire. She typically is clinging to Mommy's legs crying while Mom is holding Claire to try to calm Claire down. Annabelle is imitating more and more words. Some of her new words are close, off, and making several attempts to say Blueberries. She will also say, "row row row" in the same melody to ask for the song Row Your Boat and she also makes another melody for Itsy Bitsy Spider song. Annabelle also claps and says, "Yay" for cheese, blueberries, Popsicles, and when Mommy puts Claire to bed. Annabelle still loves to throw balls, push stuff around like toy shopping carts, corn popper, toy mower, and play with baby dolls. She is starting to like it when water is dumped on her head during bath time. She is identifying body parts of belly, nose, mouth, and eyes. She loves to play outside. She has 8 teeth (5 on top & 3 on the bottom. She likes to say "go" and then run around the house. She is getting into stuff animals now. She likes to cuddle with either her puppy dog or her polar bear.
Mother's Day
Annabelle, Claire, and Matt gave me and edible flower (fruit) arrangement and internet! Hopefully I will be updating the blog more frequently now. Annabelle also called out "mommy" when she woke up instead of just whinny cry for me to come get her from her crib for the first time on Mother's Day! Claire gave me her longest stretch of sleep so far of 5 hours. However it hasn't happen since.
Sisters
Lately, Annabelle has been very jealous, but there are a few good moments like these when Annabelle is tickling Claire or when she gives her a toy or helps to burp her.

Claire one month updates
Claire was one month old on April 30th. She is 8lbs 6oz. She went from the 10% to the 25% in her weight in one month! Her head is 14cm. She is 21 inches long which is in the 50%. She spits up a lot. So far she spit up her whole meal up 10 times, but most of the time is just a few small spit ups. She sleeps in her car seat or the bouncer chair so she can be upright. She is occasionally starting to smile. When she is awake she is very alert. She likes to stare at people. The longest stretch of sleep is 3 hours which might occur every other day. She likes her food and doesn't want to miss out on it! This week we started introducing the bottle. After the third day, she finally accepted it! We will continue to practice this once a day so she will be ready for the sitters at the end of June. We did have to change to Dr. Brown's bottles. She stopped wearing newborn clothes at 3 weeks and has moved on to 0-3 month clothes!
Sitting on potty
We are starting the first phase of potty training which is just sitting. We will be practicing this skill for a long time. It was Annabelle's idea to bring a book along
