World Breastfeeding Picnic Celebration

On Sunday, Claire and I invited some boobie baby friends and their mommies over for a picnic to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (a tad late, I know!)

Claire had fun with her friends and got to go to Amelia's 2nd birthday party the same day! It was a busy day! As you can see in the picture, she was pretty much done for the evening. :( She had a short nap on Sunday and was ready for bed at about 7!

Does this mean Claire still nurses even though I'm pregnant...oh yes! I am already tandeming! She is really down to morning, nap, and bed, and if she gets hurt. Sometimes if she falls asleep in the stroller or carseat, she has even done without her naptime session. I'm glad to be able to continue to provide her with this style of mothering and plan on letting her continue until she self weans because she obviously already is weaning if you consider how many times she nursed as a newborn...it's a gradual process.

Special Birthday Friend

Claire has a special "Birthday Friend." They actually were born on the same day! Same hospital, same doctor even! It was really funny when we were talking about this. Melissa said there was someone next door to her just screaming her head off (me birthing Claire) but it finally stopped about 2 or 2:30. Ha. Claire was born at 2:10...then there was the placenta. I laughed and told her, HA! That was me. So I got to apologize to her for screaming while she was getting ready to have Elle.

Here is our playdate with Elle:
Claire is mad jealous of all of Elle's gorgeous hair! Ok, maybe I am.

Claire gets into her car now without opening the door. She has been doing this for awhile now, but this is the first time I was able to capture it on the camera! Dukes of Hazzard, watch out!

They had a good time playing and their mommies had a good time chatting. :)
