Planning

There is only one week until Shay turns a year old!! We are freaking out just a little and I've been preparing by planning the party with decorations and presents. We made Claire's big, yellow letter C before she was born, but since we didn't have an in person baby shower when I had Shay she didn't get one. I made one for her 1st birthday party though, and we are going to have people sign it to match Claire's. I also have the same idea for cupcakes and frosting that Claire had for her 2nd birthday since it was yummy and easy to share.
Claire

She got a few new dresses when I went to pick out some for Shay and she looks so cute, as always, when we get dressed up for church. The cutest happening this week was when we played hide and seek and she kept finding me and saying "I see you mama!" Then of course I would run away and hide again then I tried to get her to hide and she is terrible and picked jumping on the couch as her hiding place. We are getting better with having her pick up her toys before we let her have what she wants which is usually to play with something else, or watch a show. Soon, she will be asking to go outside to the park again and we can use that too.
Shay

She is getting so cute and fun! She can now stand for a long time on her own, even though she hasn't taken the first step, we know she will be walking soon. She likes eating noodles, cereal, rice, canned fruit, and chocolate! She is learning to organize and put objects into containers or, like in the picture, on containers. I love that her hair is getting longer and she will have beautiful hair that she probably won't let me play with, just like Claire. She is right on the verge of growing out of her 9m cloths so I'm excited for the outfits I haven't seen for a year to come back out and be on her.

Chris is still working, but biding his time until he gets to be done and we move on to his masters program. I am picking up work as often as I can but we have days that we get to spend together and we always seem to find time to workout together. I feel like I'm getting so much stronger even while losing weight because I was able to bench 100lbs 10 times which I could only barely do 5 times when we moved here. Being the math genius I am...(not) I'm the one of us that usually does the financial tracking and therefore the taxes which I was able to get done this week.
