We are so SO happy to be home! The boys, my parents, and Laura's family were there to greet us at the airport with balloons and signs, it was wonderful to see them all! I'll have to get the pictures from Laura. The boys seemed so big and grown-up to me! Claire did pretty well on the flights-she didn't sleep much which was hard since we flew through our night, but she was actually happy when we arrived and gave them a few smiles!
Here are Claire and I when we got home.
Our family of five!!! (See the cute decorations that the boys/my parents did for us?)
The next morning I had to get a picture of my three kids eating breakfast together!
The first day we were home (Sunday) our family came over to visit with Claire and I passed out all the presents we got them. One of them was these Chinese outfits. Claire was sleeping so we don't have a picture of her, but she has a matching dress to Elizabeth.
The cute "squeaky" shoes I got for Claire in China.
After her first bath at home! She cries through every bath until just yesterday! She actually sat and played in the bath!!
Claire has adjusted so well to our life. It has just been crazy busy with three kids, I feel like I can't give her a ton of one-on-one attention because we just have lots going on with Cooper and Jackson! But we've been trying to stay home and get her used to us and our life so she gets lots of quality time with Jackson while Cooper is in school.
It is amazing how well she is doing here. She has been happy and cheerful and comfortable from day one! She definitely likes me to hold her. A lot. She also doesn't like being outside unless I'm holding her or she's in the stroller, so I'm having a hard time getting pictures of her outside! Soon I'm sure. :)
At the house she follows me around and likes to have me near her. This comes in handy because it makes me nervous having her just run around the house without me-I'm worried she's going to get hurt or get into something she shouldn't be getting into.
Jackson LOVES her, he'll say to people "isn't she precious? I love her!" Cooper is also so sweet with her and talks to her in a sweet voice. I don't have many pictures of him with her yet because he's in school all day!
I did get her to sit by herself outside for a few minutes while we blew bubbles.
I was trying to get a picture of her in this adorable outfit and she is just SO busy! Runs and runs around! I took both her and Jackson to Target- I was nervous the entire time but it went so well! I carried her in the ergo and Jackson walked along beside the cart. I don't know how often I'll do that but it's nice to know I can.
Look at me go!
I tried to get a picture of our three kids-she was not a fan.
She loves to brush her teeth! She is also so compliant for changing her clothes/diaper. She'll lay right down and help! She loves to wear her shoes and tries to put them on as well.
We tried out the park one morning!
This is where Claire was (Jackson actually took this!)
Trying to tickle Claire. She loves it when I do it, not as much when the boys do it.
She is very curious about everything!
Jackson tried to hold Claire-she wasn't having it!
What a great big brother!
She definitely likes me to hold her- I see this face a lot if I'm not!
Good thing she's so darn cute!! :)
