Awww...Baby Awaina is sooooo Adooorable!!!

The kids are all so in love with Alaina. She has yet to show any signs of feeling the same, but I am sure it won't be long. CJ is probably the most in love with her. And he is really good with her. He wants to help with everything and if she even wimpers he dashes off to get a toy to show her and make her happy. He calls her "Baby Awaina" and is always saying how adorable she is and calling her "pretty girl". Jenna and Emily love Alaina too, but Emily is at school all day and has ballet and too many other things going on to have much time for the baby, and Jenna still doesn't quite understand how to act around her. She is a little too loud and a little to crazy for my taste - and Alaina's too! But she definetly loves her and always calls her "my baby". As in "I want to hold my baby", and "Are you going to feed/change my baby?" It is really cute! Alaina should always feel loved, never be lonely and never be bored!

Just wanted to let you all know that Alaina went to the doctor today for her 1 month well baby checkup. She is doing wonderfully and apparently there are no concerns about her getting enough to eat. She weighed in at 10 pounds 13 ounces and 24 inches long. She has grown almost 5 inches in length and about 3 inches around her head. Jenna only weighed 9lbs 1oz at this age and we thought she was a chunk! Alaina has almost grown out of her 0-3 months clothes already! I can practically see her growing. She is starting to smile at us alot more. Usually at her Daddy and surprisingly not yet at any of the other kids. She just looks at them kind of like, " What in the world are you and what are you going to do to me???" She is still not sleeping for very long stretches at night....gotta keep eating to keep that weight up you know. But occasionally she will go for 4 hours or so. I am getting pretty tired since I get no nap during the day, but I know that the light at the end of the tunnel is coming and I am actually enjoying the quiet time we have together at night.

All the Klug Kids......

What a rough life I have....I am just exhausted!
Three little gremlins ready for Halloween!

Alaina and Daddy were sound asleep, she smiled right when I took this pic.

Check out the chubby cheeks and arms. She still doesn't focus so well sometimes, it's hard to get a pic without crossed eyes :0)

Alaina weighs in...

Check out the frog belly!

I weighed Alaina at the doctor's office today when we were there for an appointment for Jenna. She weighed in at 9 pounds 5 ounces! She is 3 weeks and 1 day old. Apparently she is getting enough to eat!

Jenna asleep in the tub

Jenna did not get a nap today. We have started backing off of her naps because if she has even a one hour nap she stays up until atleast 9pm and makes so much noise that Emily and CJ can't sleep. But if we don't give her a nap she will easily go to bed at 7:30pm with everyone else. But today she didn't make it. She was in the tub at about 6:30pm and while Chris was washing her hair she fell fast asleep. We all came in and looked at her and giggled and then Chris got her out, dried her off and dressed her and put her to bed - and she stayed asleep the whole time! We went shopping this afternoon and apparently she shopped 'till she dropped!

1st Day of Preschool and 1st Day of Ballet

Today was CJ and Jenna's first day of Preschool.

CJ took off and barely looked back. He had a great time and is so excited that his friend Kara is in his class.

Jenna was excited to go and carry her new monkey "pack pack" but when we got there she decided she would rather not go. But she only cried for a few minutes (so I was told) and she was very good during class. They said she participated and talked and she was very proud to show her craft that she made.

Emily went to her first day of ballet today. It was pouring rain and we practically had to swim there, but we made it. I didn't get to stay and watch (the parents wait in another room) but I did stick my camera in at the end to get some pictures. She loved it and of course it was all she could talk about for the rest of the evening. She is doing really well in school and her medication seems to be helping her tremendously.

All dressed up for church.....

Before church this morning
