"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Mary Claire is 5 months

This little one's first months are flying!
She got a little snuggling from big sister.
Constantly changing!


Can't.get.enough.

It was a pretty busy month for her.  She chatted with Sarah Catherine.

She played with cousin Cassie.

Her new favorite things: her feet

Wanting to sit up in the tub
Just before four month shots...the calm before the storm!

AnnMarie taught her how to play Pretty Pretty Princess.

Hangin with big bro

Her most popular way to travel these days: on AM's hip



Sweet dumplin

She just gets so worn out sometimes.
Practicing sitting

Cuteness

"Look at what I have to endure, people."

Nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby

Cuddling with Gamma

Caroline and her doll

Daddy's baby girl

Still loves the swing
"Really, Mommy?  You're gonna take a picture of this and not help me?"

Excited!

Keepin Mama company

We have a SuperBaby in the house.
