Claire
My little Claire-bear is not little anymore. This summer I have started teaching her to read. It melted my heart when she read her first word all by herself a couple of weeks ago. I remember crying my eyes out because we were not sure if we would ever be able to have children and here I am with two amazing blessings and I am teaching one to read and another one to stay in her bed. Claire has grown up on me so fast and she soaks up information so quick. She can write all the letters of the alphabet and she does a really good job of staying in the lines. Her coloring skills have gotten so much better. She loves books! She is such a big helper with Maggie. We are learning scripture and at Bible time she prays for most of you guys out there. She amazes me everyday! I love you baby girl!
Maggie
Oohs and Ahhs has kept me busy so I have not had a chance to write about my babes in a while. Maggie finally cut her 4th tooth. She has a nice little gap in between her top two teeth so that her bottom two fit nicely in between. Instead of signing words she is speaking them. She can say the words more, bye bye, light, dada, and mama. These are the main ones she says. Over the past couple of weeks she has developed quite a little temper. Not sure where she gets that from. Maybe Rodney... :)
She is walking with help and is pulling up on everything. She has the cutest little smile where she scrunches up her nose and smiles from ear to ear. It makes your heart melt. She tries to brush her hair with the brush, put on a purse strap over her shoulder, and talk on the phone. She does love food but she has gotten a little pickier these last couple of months. At her year check up she weighed 18 pounds. Rodney built a little bunk bed to put over Claires bed and so now we have Claire on the top and we are training Maggie to go on the bottom. We have done it now for two nights and it has not been as bad as I thought. Nap time is a little tricky but I will say after 45 min of putting her back in her bed she finally took her first nap! yipppee!

Maggie turns around
Well, my little Maggie is growing up. The week she turned 1 (July 28) we turned her car seat around. So for Maggie's first birthday Claire got a new car seat. It's pink of course!
