its all about these two

its so hard to try and keep claire from lovin' on the dude too much. especially his eyes.

after seeing this picture, you might begin to understand just how crazy claire really can be.

and i fully love it. even through her tantrums and coloring on the walls, i love her crazy hair, her big heart, her giggles, and her sweet bum-bum shaking dance. i love having her arms around my neck, getting nosy kisses, and watching her eyes light up when she gets excited. i love that everything is now "stuck" when she can't move it, and that her speech is exploding. i love that kittens sometimes scream "AHHH!" instead of meow, and that ducks kinda growl.

caleb is still a dream, although he doesn't look so newborn anymore, so sad. he eats and sleeps, and just chills while claire tries to play with him and feed him (when she isn't stealing his binky, sitting in his rocker, or taking the hanging toys off his bouncer). i love that he is so peaceful, mild, and PATIENT. he prefers to eat slowly, take his time with everything. eating is a serious business. he loves his baths, and being snuggled. what a life, huh? i love his soft, dark hair, his chubby cheeks, and the little birthmark on his arm. i love little toes, and the way he coos while he eats.

its funny because i think these two are so opposite each other in a lot of ways, but they will definitely be buds. i just know it. claire is fair and blonde with curly hair, caleb is olive and dark, straight-haired. she has my smile and nose, joe's eyes and cheeks. he has my eyes, joe's nose and mouth. missy is into everything, curious and came out ready for action. dude is calm, observant and came out and fell asleep. i think they balance each other nicely. and i LOVE it.

So this picture of Claire on the back bumper gives me nightmares. Squelch her interest in that :) Which arm does Caleb have his birthmark....is the same place as Joseph's? His didn't show up until he was a toddler and it was after he had gotten a shot. Can't wait to see and snuggle these two.
Hugs and kisses from Yaya and Papa.
