Claire - 4 Months

Claire ADORES her older brother. She can sit and watch him for hours minutes. She used to be pretty crabby every time we sat down for dinner. Her unwinding hour always happened to be just as we started to eat our first bite of food, which meant one of us would pick her up and wait to eat while the other devoured their food so we could trade. Now we can sit her in the bumbo on the table and she just laughs at Elliott the whole time.

She is starting to have a little bit of a schedule. She sleeps from 7pm-7am with naps around 9-10ish, 12-2ish and then a short 30 minute nap around 4:30. She takes an 8oz bottle when she first wakes up and a 6oz bottle before bed. She still eats at pretty random times during the day, depending on how much she “gives up” in between bottles.

Highlights:

- Her acid reflux is still in full force, but she doesn’t seem to be in pain and she’s not fighting bottles anymore so we took her off the medicine.

- We still swaddle her for naps and bedtime. She is extremely “handsy” and wakes herself up every 20 minutes if we don’t use a swaddle.

- She rolled over 6 or 7 times in a row on November 13^th but hasn’t shown much interest since then.

- She almost skipped 6 month pajamas and went straight to 9 month. She does wear 6 month outfits as long as they aren’t one piece, otherwise they are too short for her.  

- She has turned into a pretty happy baby and we love to see her giggle!
- Update - Claire was 15lbs 2ozs (68%) and 26.75 inches (98%). We have a long and lean girly on our hands!

Laughing at Elliott

Ok, so how do I grab that thing and put it in my mouth?

This does not taste like I thought it would 

So smiley 

First hornet sting. She was ok. She was even hamming it up at the doctor's office.

Just relaxing and watching TV at Pops and Mimi's house
