I just have to share this...

Yesterday, while driving home from lunch, there was a car in front of us and he was driving super slow. When I saw that he had his left blinker on, I said, "It's about time, Honda Fit!" Olivia heard this and said, "Momma sorry" (translation, Momma apologize to the car for being mean). So I said, "Sorry for yelling at you Mr. Honda Fit" and she immediately followed up with, "No, call me Olivia!" It was totally random and caught Jonathon and I off guard and we just started laughing. Oh the things she is starting to say.

Can you believe this?

Claire has been rolling over from tummy to back for a week now. What, you say? Yeah, me, too. She only does it in her crib and screams bloody murder when she does because she doesn't understand what she is doing. But, she is doing it nonetheless.

And, on top of that, she is also 4 months old. Wow! Time is flying by.

I don't know if I have mentioned this or not, but most of you know, Olivia is now potty trained, well, at least during the day and nap time. And when I say potty trained, I mean #1 and #2 on the potty :) We are working on night time, but since she loves to drink water during the night, I am not pushing it just yet. She is so cute! She goes to the bathroom and when she is finished, she comes running out of the bathroom with her pants and panties around her ankles and yells, "Pee-pee all by self (myself), Momma". It is so cute how excited she gets, which is nice, and she gets even more excited because we are excited for her. I took a picture of her first poop in the potty, but I won't show you all since I am probably the only one who thinks it is cute.

Anyway, we had a great weekend. My mom, sister, and a friend of my mom's came down this weekend and it was great to hang out with them. We bought the girls their Easter dresses, swam, ate and played on the Wii, which was hilarious to watch my mom, although she would say the same of me. As soon as I get a chance to upload pictures, Claire is crying as I type this, I will post them.

Guess who is gaining weight?

Our little Claire Bear (that's her nickname and if you ask Olivia what her sissy's name is, she will say, "Claire Bear"...so cute).
I had to take her to the doctor for a yeast infection and I didn't know if they were going to weigh or her or not, but to my surprise, they did. She currently weighs, 11 pounds/4 ounces. We do not go in for her 4 month appointment until the middle of March so I am hoping she gains a little more. However, she is happy, healthy and thriving.
She is such a good baby. The only time you hear her cry is if she is hungry, tired, gassy, and getting in her car seat. Boy, does she hate the car seat. But, once we get her in the car and get going, she calms down and sometimes even goes to sleep. However, if you put her in the car and she is crying and you do a bunch of stops and starts in a row, she will cry. That, is not very fun.
Claire has started cooing like crazy and it is so wonderful to hear her talk. Olivia never was a big coo-er so this is nice to hear. She is also on the verge of doing a big belly laugh, I know it will happen soon. She loves it when you give her kisses or raspberries on her neck; she coos and does a little giggle.
Claire is just like her big sister when it comes to the doctor. She screams and cries the whole entire time, except for she is louder than Olivia was.
Speaking of Claire, I have to go. She is waking up from her nap and she is HUNGRY!
Here are some recent pictures of the girls. We also tried to take a family photo, but Olivia wasn't having it, so we did it anyway to use the pictures as blackmail later. :)
