Hi everyone. It has been a very very long time. Life gets busy when you have a three month old. I am going to keep this post quick. Everything is great here. Claire's 4 month appointment is 4/9. I hope to have more free time soon to provide everyone with a good update.
I am starting to like my exersaucer.
She looks soooo sleepy.
Oh I hope this shirt comes true.
Look at me loving my bumbo.
I am watching you.
I am very sorry to all the blog readers. We do not have that many but the ones we do have are looking for new pictures and we have not been doing a good job keeping up. Well, it is not that I do not want to put up pictures, it is just finding the time.
Everything is going very well with Claire. She had her two month appointment and her two month shots a few weeks ago. At her appointment Claire was 9lbs and was 21 1/2 inches long. She is growing well. The doctors were very pleased with her progress.
At the appointment we were told that the doctors would like to see Claire go to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta because her head is a little misshapen. It is not terrible but it is causing her ears to not be aligned properly. Her head is like 75% perfect. It is the other 25% that needs to be fixed. We will be going March 9th and they will be doing a scan on her head to see what needs to be done. They said they may try physical therapy and she also may need to wear a helmet. All I know is if she does it better be pink and it better be cute!
She is progressing and growing so much. She talks and makes so many noises. It is adorable. She has been making eye contact so much lately and also watching people when they move around. And smiles, we get so many of them. She is an absolute joy to have in our lives.
Here are some new pics of Claire. Also, I was patient enough to post a video of her in her bath. This video does not do justice of how much she squirms and splashes around. Most of the time she pushes herself off the lip of the bath and she floats. I told Sara I want to put her in infant swimming classes at 6 months. Seeing her enjoy her baths, easily her favorite thing every day, just confirms swimming classes are in her future. Everyone enjoy. Our love to everyone!
Here of some pics of Claire and I goofing around tonight. We has so much fun she fell asleep.

Not much going on here. Claire has her 2 month appointment Tuesday. She is doing very good. Growing fast. I will update everyone with her appointment details.

One of Claire's favorites, tummy time.
Sara, Claire and I went to Grandma's & Grandpa's cottage this weekend. Grandma surprised us and made lots of hats for Claire. The hats are SOOO awesome and are adorable. Of course we tried them all on because Claire looked so cute in them. We had a lot of fun and cannot wait to do it again. I do have more pics to add but it is late and I am tired so here is a sampling of some of the pics from over the weekend. We hope you enjoy the pics of our bundle of joy.
Claire had her 1 month doctors appointment last Monday. She gained over 2 pounds since leaving the hospital and weighs 7lbs. 5 ozs. She is growning up oh so fast. The doctor said that everything looks great and that seems to be a very content baby. Claire loves her bath time a lot and lounging in her boppy. We also brought up her swing yesterday and put her in that. She had a good time in it for a little bit. It is alot different for her so I think she needs to get used to it. Sara has also been giving Claire lots of tummy time. She has started to lift her head up and look around a little bit when she is laying on her tummy. She also likes to sit up on your shoulder and look around. She has been doing very well holding her head up in small intervals. The weeks are going by so fast and every minute of every day is a new adventure.
Not much new with the family. Two nights this past week it was 6 degrees here. 6! I mean we live in GA! It is supposed to stay kind of warm.......right? We had a few snow flurries last night but not much to talk about.
We really have no new pictures. We have not been camera crazy lately because of being so busy. The next few weekends will be jammed packed. Today all of our friends are coming over to watch the football games. Next Saturday night we are going to our friends house and then Sunday it is up to the cottage to spend the day with Dad and Deb. Then the week after that we will be over to Vinny and Katie's to watch the Super Bowl. Claire will get to have a lot of new adventures over the next few weeks.
Here is a collage I did of Claire. I am going to do one every month so we can see how much she grows. Our love to all!
Well this week was a week of firsts. Claire lost her cord this week. YEAH! That means bath time for Claire. Claire had her first bath today in her big girl tub. At first she did not like it at all but she finally warmed up to it and had fun. Since it is winter time she is always covered up. She has the cutest little feet and legs. She was having a great time in her bath tub.
Claire also discovered her hands this week. She has been paying so much attention to her hands. She moves them back and forth and watches them the whole time. She is fascinated by them.
Sara and I are talking about how much she has grown in a month. I remember when I first held her she was so tiny that I could really hold her in one hand. She has put on weight and grown so much that you definitely need two hands to hold her now. Plus she is a very active baby. She is always moving around and is very strong. We have been putting her in her Boppy and she has been sliding out of it because she is moving around so much. I think it is time we strap her into it.
I cannot believe a month has gone by so fast. She will be a month old on the 9th. Time really does fly.
Claire not happy at all with her first bath
Oh but wait.....this is kind of fun
She is so so so so cute
Still having a lot of fun
Alright! I am clean!
Do I have to get out?
Oh boy this is fun
All done. Can I go back in?
My hooded towel still does not fit me because I am still small
But I look really cute in my robe
