update...bullet form

no time to blog lately, so here are the updates:
-claire is calling chris, "daddyo." just came all of a sudden-no idea where she heard this
-claire sits and watches when she rides in the car. today we drove past her daycare provider's home after going on a long walk and claire said, "there's maureen's house." i point out her house everytime we go by, but never expected that claire would be able to find it given the fact that we were going home after being rather far from home. what a little smarty pants.
-mya is awesome. sleeps, eats and rarely fusses.
-mommy milk is coming more often via pumping. can't take an hour break to feed. haven't given up totally on bf though
-watching dog whisperer in hopes of learning a few tricks to train sophie. she is making life way more challenging than it needs to be.
-chris gave me the greatest gift today--a 2 hour nap...ALONE! i love sleeping with my kiddos, but i am such a light sleeper that i wake up to every little noise, grunt, etc.
-ordered mya's birth announcements. love them, love them, love them.
-had a great day yesterday. invited some friends to go hiking and have a bbq here afterwards. can't believe i actually did this 2 weeks after a c-section as we truly climbed a mountain, but even feel great today. claire loved their little boys and talked about them all night and even this morning. definitely need to provide her socialization more often now that she is out of daycare for the summer.
-1 pound away from where i was at 8 weeks post delivery with claire. the weight is coming off much quicker and easier this time around. loving this! i hope it continues.
-tomorrow begins my new job as a full-time mommy. chris goes back to work after 2 glorious weeks with us. sad.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
