The girls

Little Allie in our big bed. She always starts off in her cradle, but after her second feeding, this is often where she ends up! Grandpa Dennis reading to Claire. He came over to play with her on Sunday.

Daddy has his hands full! Claire looks a bit crazy here!

Bundled Bear!

I think that she looks so cute all bundled up! She loves being outside and is not phased by the frigid weather! She has been a good helper at delivering cards to the neighbors.

Silly Claire!

Fun with a washcloth! She puts everything on her head!

Hiding under the Giant Pamma stocking!

She wanted her boots on!

Such a sweetie, she's growing up too fast!

Allie week 2, Claire 16 months = handfull!

Claire does a nice job playing with PlayDoh. Claire loves kissing and watching her sister.

Allie at 2 weeks

Claire likes to sit in the bouncy seat...hopefully it won't break!

She is taking sippy cups better, but still loves her bottles!

Pug purse from the giant stocking! Can you tell that she likes it?!

Uncle Greg cuddled Allie for a few hours, awe so sweet!

Allie 2 week stats

Weight: 7# 3 oz.
Length: 21"
Head Circ: 13 1/2"

How interesting that Claire was born 2 weeks late and weighed 7#3 oz and was 20"long at birth! I have a feeling that Allie is going to grow at a very similar rate to her sister.

Christmas countdown

Pamma got Claire a giant Christmas stocking filled with enough presents that she gets to open one everyday until Christmas! Here are a couple of her presents thus far. She has so much fun going to her stocking everyday!

Irish bow! Adorable! Beautifully crafted Irish Book!

Week 1

The new and improved (with the addition of Allie) NEWTON FAMILY!

On Sunday, our first full day home after the hospital, the Welke's and Pamma came over and we had a pizza party!

Uncle Matt & cousin Dane

Pamma and Claire reading together

K and I with our second borns!
Every one has their hands full!

Maddie giving her cousins and auntie special presents!

Claire helps her daddy change Allie! She helps her momma too! Claire always makes sure to turn the light on when we change Allie.

She put on the "New Parent" hat with Allie's foot prints on it.

Allie and her beautiful flower and cookie bouquets! Thank you!
