So it's been a while....

Claudia is looking much better recovering from her burn to her cheek, lip and gums. This picture is 1 1/2 weeks after- it is amazing how much better it looks and how quickly it has healed. She still has a small spot to go on her bottom lip/corner of her mouth. That is the part the docs are most concerned about scarring, and seems to be the deepest burn. At this point, it doesn't look like it will scar! We will go back again this week and see what they say.

She learned how to pull herself up in the crib this week! She is so proud of herself! She is definitely keeping us busy. We are thinking about putting her in a cage!

Rocking on all fours! She'll be crawling soon!

Jackson's choir performance

Dawson's 7th birthday party and first sleepover!

Jackson's school program

Dawson's first grade field trip to the zoo

Up close view of the chimp!

Bathtime fun!

I think she's going to have her dad's curls!

Elsie Brynn Mitchell is here!

Elsie Brynn Mitchell was born March 28th, 2009 to Lance and Ashley. She weighed 8 lbs and is adorable! Too bad that no one will give her any attention!!

Fun times

Supporting our new Sweetz shop in town!

Claudia trying on her new Easter dress!

Her hair is growing more and more each week. This outfit is from Grandma Audrey. Jackson has claimed it as his favorite on her and wants her to wear it everyday. It is pretty cute!

I'd be scared too if he were my brother!

But he really does love her and she puts up with him!

Her new love- paper! She will destroy any magazine or papers (homework!) laying around! She has already torn the back off of one of the boys' books.

I painted her toenails for her 6 month pictures!

Not a common sight at our house- she is too busy to sleep usually!

Word of advice: chocolate in the backseat is not a good idea!

Claudia enjoys playing with her lovie- and pretty much anything else she can get in her mouth!
Dawson was home sick from school (obviously not too sick!) and put Claudia to sleep!

She's found her feet- they are next to go in her mouth!

Silly boy!

Singing in her microphone- it's her favorite!

Trying on summer clothes- hope they still fit by the time summer gets here!

Dawson figured out how to take pictures of himself- not the cutest picture ever!

...........Or this one!

I just realized I don't have many pictures of Jackson to post, they are all of him in his underwear! Guess we need to work on keeping clothes on the kid- he says he is wearing his superhero outfit... (do superheroes go naked???)
