Reading

Claire hopped up into the recliner this evening with some books, crossed her legs, and started reading. It was very cute and I was a little too late in catching the reading in action. Maybe next time.

John's Graduation Party

My cousin, John, graduated from high school this past Friday, so we went to a reception in his honor today. We had a great time even though Claire was without a nap. Hence the passed out photo at the end of this post. She was out cold on the drive home. (We obviously need to tighten her shoulder straps again because she seems to work her way out of them which is not very safe.)

20 Weeks....Halfway

I don't remember Claire moving around this much so soon, but I LOVE it! It might have something to do with the Ben and Jerry's ice cream that I've been consuming every night, but it appears that the ice cream was necessary since I didn't gain any weight this week. No reason to stop eating Ben and Jerry's now.

Weekly weight change = +0.0 lbs.
Total weight change = +15.5 lbs.

A Little Under the Weather

Claire woke up coughing a couple of times last night, so she isn't feeling her best today, but is up for enjoying beautiful weather. We're experimenting with potty-training a little today. She has been sitting on the potty since January (at her request) several times a day, but she has never actually used it. With a 3-day weekend, we're going to see what we can accomplish. If it doesn't work, we'll just wait and try again later.

Last night, Andrew felt Paige kick for the first time. She was so active all last night and for a good part of this morning. I can already tell that Paige will be a mover and a shaker just like her big sister.
