Ciara's 1 Month Check Up

We had Ciara's one month check up today. Ciara has quite a cold/cough (we think she caught something from Jack last week). Hopefully she gets better soon, but in the meantime we had a good check up and everything else looks great.



Stats:

Height: 21 3/4 (75%)
Weight: 9lbs 9oz (50-75%)
Head: 38cm (50-75%)

Kisses for Ciara

This goes on about 100 times a day!

Jack and His ABCs

The hardest part of getting Jack on video is that he loves the camera...and as soon as he sees it he wants to hold it and play withit. So I had to sneak up on him for this shot of him doing his ABCs....he actually does it really well but I think Mommy was "drowning" him out:)

Ciara's First Bath

Well talk about timing....on the very day that Ciara lost her umbilical cord we received a special present in the mail. Our friend Foley in Austin, TX sent us the cutest butterfly towel with Ciara's name on it....so it was off to the kids bathroom for Ciara's BATH! And Jack was so excited to help out! Ciara did much better with her first bath than Jack did:) Thank you Foley (and Foley's mommy) for the present....we LOVE it:)

Steamed Crabs = Happy Daddy

For Fathers Day we had both sides of the family over our house for a cookout/steamed crabs. It's our favorite thing to do in Baltimore - steam some crabs and corn...yummy! Jack was pretty sick earlier in the day, but he stuck it out and even got to play with his cousins.

Our Little Sunshine

Movin' up

Today was Jack's last day in the "Hippo" room at school. Starting next week he "moves up" to the Lion room with the bigger kids. Some of his friends are already in the Lion Room, but he will sure miss his Hippo friends and teachers, Ms. Kim and Ms. Shirley!

2 Week Check Up

Ciara had her 2 - week check up this week and boy is she growing! Yeah:) She weighed 7.7 lbs at birth, dropped down to 7.2 lbs when we left the hospital and at the 2 week appointment today she weighed a whopping 8 lbs 10 ozs! Mommy is happy - all her hard work is paying off with a healthy baby. No vaccines today, but Ciara was sure tuckered out none the less and slept for most of the rest of the day (hence all the shots with her eyes closed). I took these shots with my phone, so sorry if they are little fuzzy.

Our little peanut...

Here' s a shot of our little peanut (see the cute shirt) at 1 week. I think she looks so much like Jack at this age.

World Cup Fever

World Cup fever has taken over the Reid household. Jack LOVES his "futbol" and even has the "goooooaaaalllll" scream down. Here he is sleeping with his new favorite ball:)

KidStock 2010

Daddy and Jack spent some quality "guy" time on Sunday at KidStock 2010. A fun music, arts, play date in Baltimore with bands, food, crafts, etc. Jack met up with his friends Charlotte and Winnie and had a great time. He was sooooo pooped when he got home he went right to bed!

New Water Table for Jack

Baby Ciara thought that it was a good idea to give her big brother Jack a little gift when she got home from the hospital. So, as you can see, Jack spent most of the morning playing with his new water table while Mommy and Ciara watched with big smiles;)

My Ciara

A few stolen moments in her first few days....
For those who are curious, Ciara's name is Gaelic and is pronounced "Kee-ra" - her middle name "Rose" is after my grandmother.
