"How is Claire with the new baby?"

One of the first questions you get asked when having a second baby, is "how is the older sibling doing with the new baby?" I wasn't raised with a sibling, so I never new what it would be about. That's why it was really important to me to have a sibling for Claire. Claire has been absolutely amazing with Maya from day 1. We're so fortunate that there was never any jealousy. I take that back, I think there was one time at the beginning when Claire wanted to dance with me in the living room. We had just started doing that before Maya was born, so it was special to her. She asked me to dance with her, but that Maya couldn't dance with us, so I needed to put her down. She was pretty adamant about it, but that was her only moment of jealousy (so far at least).

Our Complete Family

I never thought having two kids could be so rewarding. Jeff and I have had an amazing life together pre-kids, but realized that money can't buy happiness, but the two amazing girls in our lives can. We are blessed with sweet Claire (Claire Bear as she refers to herself), and Maya (now called Maya Boo). Our girls Maya (now 8 1/2 months) and Claire (3 1/2 years old), are always changing and doing things that we want to remember. This blog will include some short snippets of things the girls do or say, as well as tell stories about their life and the changes we go through together as a family.
