My blog is dying. It's my fault. This is my attempt to resuscitate it. No apologies, I'm just going to pick up from here.
Claire is going to be 4 months old soon, and I honestly can't believe it. She's still a newborn, right? All I can say is we are completely enjoying her. She is smiling, even laughing at times, and is sweet as can be. Sophie has been incredibly adaptable to this new addition and tries to help. Sometimes she is legitimately helpful too. When Claire cries in the grocery store, Sophie rocks the carseat for me and tries to show her toys. Claire already loves her and I can see the seeds of sibling bonding being planted. They will be friends one day. I hope. Claire has discovered her hands and contentedly sucks on them all day long--even when they are covered in spit-up. Gross, I know, but I actually find it adorable. She still naps in her swing and I'm not about to change it because it works so well. We recently got Claire the Bumbo chair at Target and the jury is still out on whether she likes it or not. I hope she warms up to it, though, because I get a kick out of seeing her in it.
Sophie is definitely gaining her independence, but I feel I'm learning more about patience than she is about being independent. If I touch the door she is trying to open, she screams at me. If I try to help zip up her jammies, she screams at me. You get the idea. We just smile and take a couple deep breaths. She is quite adorable, though. Always the little mommy, she loves giving her "naked baby" (All her babies are identified by color) a bath, nursing her, or bouncing her on a ball to keep her quiet. I'm seeing her mimic my actions and totally loving it. Mothering two girls has me learning to multi-task and sometimes makes me a little crazy, but overall I honestly love it. I mean, just LOOK at them! 
Okay, I LOVE this picture of Matt's mom. Doesn't she look like a celebrity incognito? She is fabulous. Also, I'm nursing Claire, which is a little strange for a picture and rather uncomfortable.

Lisa...I love you! And, seriously, there is nothing wrong with you. You're a mom with 2 kids...and I can't believe how busy that keeps me....especially as a newborn. Such cute pictures! You look fabulous..and yes, Eleanor is a celebrity. Your girls are darling. Just so you know...the independence thing requires lifelong patience...not just at two (so I'm realizing). Hope we see you guys SOON!
Welcome home prodical child!! We will always welcome you back with open arms!! Ha, ha. So good to see pictures of your cuties!!
how cute is matt's mom! haha so funny. you can't even tell you're nursing in that picture, if you hadn't said anything i wouldn't have ever known. so i saw that your birthday is on thursday! i hope you have a good birthday and a great weekend. i was going to see if you wanted to come over on friday but not sure how into celebrating birthdays you guys get. if you're up for it, give me a call, otherwise i'll see you sunday!
okay, creepy person stalking your blog! i looked at her blog, though, and she just talks about her pets so it seems to me like she doesn't really have anything better to do than look at random peoples blogs. i'll feel bad, though, if you find out you actually know the person and i'm saying mean things about them haha. woops. Anyway, I'll just call you sometime tomorrow 'cause I feel weird posting my phone number on here now. and natalie stark? is she the one (i'm so bad with last names) who has 3 kids, 2 of them are twins? That's pretty awesome of her to be watching sophie and claire for you since she already has her hands so full. She's one of the nicest people and she's so easy to talk to.
I'm so happy you guys moved in the neighborhood! You are both so nice and have a gorgeous family!
