"Cinderella Dressed in Yella..."

When Claire sang this prior to the video clip she didn't pull her dress up. We're still working on lady-like manners.

Christmas Photo Outtakes

We ended up using a photo of the four of us that you'll get in the mail, but until then, I thought you might enjoy some of the outtakes. I don't know how people took photos of children before digital cameras. I bet it was expensive to get a good shot.









In this one, Claire and Paige are clearly finished with the photo session.

Claire and Paige's Baptism

Claire and Paige were baptized this morning at Union Church in Berea, Kentucky by Rev. Kent Gilbert. The service was beautiful. Paige wore the christening gown of Andrew's great-grandfather, that Andrew also wore as a baby. Claire wore a dress made by Andrew's mom, Beth. Claire's smile turned into a frown when the water poured on her head. Paige had the same reaction, but Claire started to wipe away the water with a towel which made Paige smile again. It was so sweet. Andrew and I gave the girls a blessing and my mom had prepared one for them as well. There were few dry eyes in the sanctuary. When our reverend took Paige around for the congregation to see, I followed with Claire. Paige was wide-eyed and Claire didn't know what to think.

Two Months Old

Paige had her 2 month check-up today. She weighed 12 lbs. 7 oz. (90-95th percentile) and was 23.5 in. (100th percentile!). When they gave her shots, she pulled her torso towards her legs and nearly did a sit-up. The nurse said she had never seen a 2 month old that strong. That's my girl!
