Well, she's just so cute.At left, there's a photo of my mom "Grand", my daughter "Little K" and the newest addition to our extended family Claire.
I have to admit it seems like ages ago that my own daughter was this small. Technically, I never saw Little K this small. While Little K weighed 9 pounds 1.4 ounces, Claire weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces at birth... but that's besides the point.
It's truly amazing to think of everything that must go right in order for a person to be born. Seeing a newborn reminds me of what a miracle life really is.
I can't wait to begin spoiling Claire, although I'm watching my own daughter to make sure she gets plenty of positive attention, too. (Any tips from my blog readers out there?) While Claire is Little K's cousin, not sister, I'm wondering if Little K will become jealous of the youngest family member. So far, Little K just studied Claire contently and enjoyed helping the baby with her pacifier.
Mom Colyn and Dad Victor are doing great. They'll actually stay at the hospital until Thursday but since they're at Memorial Hermann Northwest, they're super close either way. Oh how much fun. Plus, my cousin Jon and wife Lisa are expecting twins this fall so our family is growing again.
Until the next nap time...

Welcome Claire!! Everyone is so excited about your arrival. You are so lucky to have a wonderful and loving family who will nurture and guide you, and give you strength and love.
We can't wait to meet you!!

Wow, is she beautiful! We'll be loking for Mom and Dad pushing a stroller around the 'hood - tell them to make sure they go down our street. We have lots of kiddos - one baby girl just 6 weeks older than Claire - and a Lily Claire and a Clare to make a trio!
