David's family came for a visit this weekend. We had a really good time and were so sad to see them go! We took them to the Japanese gardens one day, and Saturday market the next (well, David took them to Saturday market, I stayed home sick with a sick Clover).
On another note...Clover started to smile (socially) when she was just a couple of days old. She just looked up at my mom one day and smiled, so cute! Anyway, in the picture of Courtney and Clover, you can see her looking up at Courtney and smiling.

The Zoo

We took the kids to the Zoo today (our zoo has $2 Tuesday every 2nd Tues of the month, AWESOME!). This was Storey's second trip and Clover's first. Storey was so excited to be there, he couldn't stop pointing and telling everyone around him what animal they were looking at, which was kind of a shocker to David and me, we really had no clue he knew all the names of the animals! Maybe we need to pay attention more, who knows. Anyway, a fun day was had and some cute pics were taken.
Cuddling

Just thought I'd share this cute picture. Everytime I put her down in this chair, Storey has to sit with her and put his arm around her.
Storey and his baby

It can be kind of rough having a toddler around with an infant. Not that Storey isn't amazing me with his patience for her (when he lacks it for everything else!) but some things, like breast feeding, can be hard on them. It takes almost all of moms attention and you can't jump on her while she's holding the baby (although I'd prefer not be jumped on ever...).
Anyway, now when I'm feeding Clover I have Stors go get his baby and her "bottle" and we feed the babies together. This has been REALLY helpful and it's super cute.
My mom suggested starting him out with the baby early on in the pregnancy and it's been really helpful. We were able to teach him how to be gentle with her and I really feel like it's one of the reasons he's doing so well.
What were you doing at 4am?
