Look Who's Sitting Up!

Claire is now sitting up for short periods. This was actually the longest one yet, so I went and grabbed the camera. She's not totally steady yet, but she's getting better by the day. At this particular time, she was even picking up toys while she was sitting there. Shortly after this though she reached for a toy and apparently had too much forward momentum. She went head first into the toy and is now sporting a bit of a black eye.

This picture totally cracks me up! Look at all of her rolls. Someone said today that they thought she looked to be losing weight - ha! See any resemblance to the man below?!
She did so much better in the pool this weekend! It helped that the water was like a bath tub this weekend. I couldn't believe how much the water temp. changed in just a week. There was a period of maybe 30 to 45 minutes when both kids were asleep and Pookie & I actually enjoyed the water (and sun) without anyone clinging to us. Amazing how much I appreciate those brief moments in time!

Claire is having a little procedure tomorrow that requires her to be put to sleep. The whole thing should only last about 15 minutes. They say that there is really very little pain, I'm just hoping they're right! Her frenulum on her tongue is a little short and while she obviously has no problem nursing, it's possible that it could be what has been causing all of my problems with the nursing (mastitis, plugged ducts, etc.). I wish they would've taken care of it earlier so the anesthesia wouldn't have been necessary, but hindsight is 20/20, right?! I think they're supposed to start around 7:30 in the morning, so just pray that we have a good day and that she's not in much pain and that everything goes well. What a thing to do to her on her 5 month birthday, huh?!!
