One Month Old...

We've had a great but busy (and sleepless) month with our little Claire. This is one of my favorite pictures of Melissa and Claire.



Melissa's mom came out for a week when Claire was born and was SUCH a big help!



Proud big sister!





Look at those beautiful girls!





I love this one of Josh. He's a very enthusiastic big brother - a little too enthusiastic at times. He told me the other day, "Daddy, I can jump over Claire and not even smash her!" I was like, "that's great Josh but don't ever try that." She's doomed.....





They outnumber us now........and they know it! I take it back - we're doomed.



Little doll...





Grandma Manley and Aunt Katie and Nicole came to visit. The kids were in heaven!







Melissa just couldn't help herself - she had to bust out the little headbands and dress her up for no reason.



Claire's 1 month old pictures...









Sweet double chin! Wide awake at bedtime...







Some much needed rest...



She decided to smile for the camera - must've had some serious gas!



We love you sweet little Claire!

Jake and Melissa-

Your family is beautiful! Congrats on new baby Claire. Seriously- your kids could be in GAP ads. Anyway, hope you love having 3! It's nice to have older kids so they can help out huh? It's fun checking on your blog every once in a while...
