11 weeks and oh so cute!

Ga! I just can't get enough of her!

Happy Father's Day!

Dear Jason,
What a fun time this has been to see you go from barely knowing how to hold Libby July to being a pro diaper changer for our new little one. You've only been a father for two and a half months, but you are doing a great job! You are so important to our family and to my sanity, and you are an amazing husband and father to little Claire! Thank you for being my support! She loves you so much (even though sometimes she's a little mama's girl!) and so do I! Happy Father's Day!

Love you Jason...Dad....and Grandpa Whaite!! You are all men who help me to see and feel our Father in Heaven's love for me! Thank you for being examples of God's faithfulness, peace, graciousness, guidance, and LOVE! Happy Father's Day to you all!

10 weeks and 2 days...and much happier!

Claire is a happy girl again today...hopefully it continues! I took her Raggedy Ann pic this morning...Happy 10 weeks girl!
This is the best I could get! She was all over, laughing and smiling and moving around...So enjoy the huge smile!! Jason says she's "slow to warm up" but today at Meijer, she was smiling and laughing at this old man behind me in line...He was whistling at her and tickling her feet while I was unloading my cart...and she was LOVING it! :) So cute to see her growing and developing into a little personality! :)

A very fussy 10 week old...

Claire got her 2 month shots on Monday and for the last two days has been the biggest fussy-bunny you've ever seen! Either crying, sleeping, eating, or sitting calmly IN MOMMY'S ARMS...Don't think I'd get a very pretty 10-week picture, so I'll wait a few days and take it! :)

For now--here's a few from the week!Pool Day at Grandma's!! Not too excited about the sunglasses!

happy 9 weeks!!!

And now...finally caught up!!

Today Claire is 8 weeks old! Can't believe that this weekend she will be two months! Time flies and my little newborn baby is already changing so much!

Just the cutest picture in the whole wide world!

Baby Dedication

So this weekend we had Claire's Baby Dedication at Wildwind Community Church. What a fun and special night to dedicate our baby to God and commit to grow her to know about the love that Jesus has for her and for the world.My parents came to Wildwind for the special service, and Grandma even bought Claire a cute lacey outfit for the occasion! Thank you Grandma!
We got to share the spotlight with the Julys and that is so special because we want Libby and Claire to grow up together and become friends, and because Jori and I have been praying for our pregnancies and babies for awhile. Jori and I shared a bit about the testimony with the church...Jason held Claire and she basically cried and upstaged Jori and me the whole time we were speaking...

We love you Claire and can't wait for you to grow up to be the woman of God we know you will become!

Carolyn's Graduation Weekend

Last weekend my ittle baby seestor graduated from big ol' college! Yikes! I'm so old! It was Claire and my first night away from Jason and also our first big weekend trip! We made it through Thursday night, and luckily Jason came on Friday and stayed with us through Sunday...We had fun, ate good food, and hung out with the fam a lot! We also got to watch Carolyn walk in Graduation on Saturday afternoon! Yay for Baby Cunga! Jason, David and I got Carolyn a bike for graduation, and that was very fun to surprise her with on Sunday night when she got home from Grand Rapids! We were very excited about the gift, but she was even more pumped!

Life Cont.

So here goes. I'm going to try to post a million blogs right now to update you on our life. Get ready!
