A turn face??

 
Posted by Picasa

Can you believe that this post is actually about Campbell and not Claire? It is. Campbell is the funniest little boy ever. He keeps us laughing all day long. (I have to admit that he is also my most difficult and frustrating child, is that how it always goes?) The other day I was going to get us some always delicious taco bell for lunch. Campbell overhead me asking Billy what he wanted and he chimed in with "I want a turn face." We were baffled, what the heck is a turn face. So I asked him and he explained (and demonstrated) to me that its the thing you have to turn your face to eat, A TACO!!!!
That is just one of the many funny things he has said recently. He is really into quoting movies right now and its hilarious. SOmetimes I can't pinpoint the movie it's from but I know it's from a movie. He has the same crazy memory as his dad! The movie quotes started with him telling me "I'm not myself today" it took a while but I figured out that one is from cloudy with a chance of meatballs. A few other movie lines he favors are:
"Squid Launcher, OH YEAH!" -Despicable Me
"Mr. Perkins, your son is here" -Despicable Me
"How did we do today girls?" -Despicable Me (can you tell which movie we have been watching lately?)
"DId you hear that?" -Elf
" Have you always wanted a career in nursing, Stevens Henager" -Stevens Henager commercial (technically not a movie but pretty stinkin funny)
That's all I can remember right now, he definitly did not get his memory from me!

Happy Girl with a perm.....

 

 

I love that when I wash Claire's hair it is so curly and cute, it looks like she has a litle baby perm! It takes about 2 minutes to dry then it is standing straight up again! I was trying to hurry and snap these pictures so I could remember how curly it was but it was already half way dry. I'm not sure why but she was really happy once I started taking pictures, I love it!

Seriously Claire??

What is going on with your hair??? I love it soooo much, it is out of control and I can't get over it! All my other kids have been baldies so this has been pretty fun. There is really no styling it but we have figured out that she doesn't NEED a headband to wear a clipie!!

Claire had some really cute newborn pictures taken about a week and a half ago. Chances are if you read my blog you will probably get one in the mail but if you want a little sneak peak you can go here.

All dressed up

 

Here is our sweet little Claire all dressed up in her first big girl outfit. She had to go in for her 2 week appointment so I thought that was an appropriate time to put on the big girl clothes! She is so fun to dress up and take pictures of, let that be a warning to you all that there will probably be a whole bunch of pictures of her on here. (She got great reviews at her appointment, weighing in at 9 lbs 6oz)
 

Honestly I set out to get full body shots of her in this cute little outfit but I couldn't resist a close up of this adorable little face!
 

We had Billys parents and grandparents over for dinner last night and I caught this shot of Claire getting a little bit of attention. I wish I would have got the camera out sooner because the was pretty much what it looked like all night. It almost makes me cry everytime I see a sight like this. (honestly, I am fighting back the tears to avoid looking like a huge baby) My children are blessed to be surrounded by so much love. They have wonderful grandparents and great grandparents, not to mention aunts, uncles, and cousins. I don't think there is anything better then having a great big loving family.
 

I generally don't like to have my picture taken until I have lost at least half of the 200 pounds I gain each pregnancy but I sacrificed to be able to take a picture with my sweet little angel. I just love this little baby with all my heart, I can't imagine anything better then just staying home and taking care of her. (and the other kids too I guess) Ok, I'm kidding of course I love all of my sweet children more then anything in the world and I am so fortunate to have each one of them to love and care for. I am one happy mama!
