Our Two Kids

We have been SO busy with our two little ones over the past month or two. We enjoy them so much and marvel at how quickly they grow and learn. Fin is now 18 months old (!) and says over 30 words. Clara is 3 months old and is such a darling little girl who is smiling and cooing when her tummy doesn't hurt (since I've switched to a hypoallergenic diet, Clara has been much less fussy and more like her normal sweet, happy self). Here's a bunch of photos from our past 6-8 weeks.

Clara smiling at Daddy...precious

Double chin girl - love those eyebrows and that hair!

Chillin' with Daddy

Who, me?!?

So tired...

Can you find the baby amid all the flotsam?

There she is!

Happy Girl!

It wasn't me...

Floor time

Hmmm....I am pondering the meaning of life

Still thinking about it....this is a hard one....

Practicing my rolling

Bath time!...Clara loves her baths - she is so content to be in the warm water.

Cheeky chick

Laughing....

Ready to go out in the cold

She holds her head up now and rolls easily from both tummy to back and back to tummy

Out cold on Daddy's lap

Now Finny's turn....he's had a shoe fettish lately - he puts our shoes on or he brings us our shoes and insists we put them on. He's become quite adept at walking around with gigantic shoes on. Here's some pics of him wearing our shoes.

We had a gigantic snow storm the beginning of December. Fin hadn't really ever been out in the snow before. Here's some shots of his first experience in it.

He is constantly active and moving...hard to keep up with and always making us laugh.

With his "cape" - sister's blanket

At the Christmas Lights Parade in Caldwell

Waving at floats with Mommy

Trying to stay warm with Daddy

His absolute favorite fruit of all time is raw blueberries - he literally hollers when he sees us getting them out of the fridge and then shoves them in his mouth as fast as he can.

He's also started hooking his feet under the lip of the high chair tray - funny!

His other fettish is wearing a hat while in the house. This day, he insisted on keeping his cowboy hat on the entire day (even for naps!)

He even had to wear his cowboy hat over his stocking cap when we went out to play. Hilarious!

He aslo likes wearing his new mittens everywhere - even when he's trying to drink.

Our kids love each other, too. Fin is constantly kissing his sister, rubbing her head, or pointing out her body parts to her (eyes, nose, mouth, hair). It's very sweet.

Kissing baby sister...awwww

I LOVE this picture!

Baby's nose!

Hi, Baby!

Resting his head on hers...so sweet

Cuddles all around...

Finally, some videos for your enjoyment. This is Fin speaking his classic babble while walking around in my new work shoes.


Here, Fin is talking to Clara. At the very beginning of the video, notice how he thinks I'm taking a picture and smiles a huge, cheesy grin. SO FUNNY!!!


Fin loves to help us around the house, no matter what we're doing. Here, he's helping Dru fix the door with the electric screwdriver.


And here, Clara demonstrates her rolling skills!
