Thanks for the shirt Grandma & Grumpy Snider :-) 
Forget looking at the camera - the TV is much more fun! 
Thanks Cindy and Ray - we had no trouble getting this 0-3 month outfit on Claire!! 
If there are any other candle lovers out there, here is a coupon you might be able to use before November 4th!
Halloween is Coming A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: 'I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.' She answers, ' My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.' 'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.' She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic. ' The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!' 'OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.' The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. 'My dear child,' said the nun, 'Why are you crying?' 'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess; I'm married and I'm Jewish.' The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.' |
A smile because she turned 4 months! :-) I can't believe how quickly the time flew by.
"Mom - Are you serious? I am not going to roll over for you, just because everyone is watching! Now, get that camera off me"
And, last but not least.... Can we take bets on who is having more fun here?
Summary of the book - Strega Nona hires a guy to help around the house. She has a secret pasta pot that no one can touch, but the guy hears her magic words to start making the pasta and then again the words to stop making the pasta. But, the guy didn't see her blow the three kisses that are needed to stop making the pasta. So, he is watching the house one day and decided to make the pasta, but he can't stop it from coming and the pasta takes over the village. As punishment, he has to eat all the pasta so Strega Nona can sleep in her bed that night. At the end it shows him in the village - nice and fat! It was at this point that Maria looked at me and said out of nowhere - that is what you looked like the last time we read! I almost fell out of my chair...
Another tummy time picture - I think she is saying Mom, why are you doing this to me?
Sunday we went pumpkin picking with a group of new moms from Hoboken. The weather was perfect - 70 and sunny. We had a great time even though Claire had no idea what we were doing. It's all for the photo op.
This one is for Aunt Jean!
And you wonder where she gets those big blue eyes from???
I think she is saying Give me my pacifier back
The shirt says it all - yes, I'm cute - it's OK to look!
Kristin and Andrea were around this weekend to help Dan and I take care of ourselves and Claire. Kristin had bought Claire this outfit before she was born and she never wore it because it was too big. Well, with a little modification for the cooler weather, (add tights!), we were able to get her in it, although the skirt still falls off if you hold her up.
Saturday we went shopping because Claire is still in 0-3 month clothes and we don't have a lot of clothes warm enough to send her to day care. Who would have thought we would need long pants in that size? My easy solution was to buy her jeans that would match any long sleeve onesies she has. Well, Little Miss No Waist doesn't even fit in the 0-3 month jeans - as soon as Dan moved his hand they were around her ankles again! By the time they do fit, they will probably be too short.
The Aunties gave Claire a bath and she loved it!
Finally, a smile and a look - this one makes it all worth it!
