Four Months

I love you, Claire! Even more than last month.

Three Months Old

This post is a little late (okay, a lot late...she turned 3 months on Aug 9th), but I didn't want to miss out on reporting Claire's 3 month mark.

In your third month, you learned to sleep longer at night, giving Mommy a solid 6 hours of sleep at night! Thank you! You have become such a smiley girl too! Everyone loves to see you smile! I was so impressed with how well you traveled this month as we made the 14 hour drive to and from Utah, slept at three different houses, and saw many family members and friends that you'd never met before. You were such a good sport and never really got upset during these potentially stressful things. What a good baby!

 

 I love you so much, Claire! Even more than last month.

Two Months Old!

Two months already! Wow! Claire is so much fun! Her eyes are definitely blue - the first of the Anderson kiddos. She's still hanging on to most of her beautiful dark hair and her sweet little legs are getting some of that baby chub that I love! She is getting into more of a rhythm during the day now, where she sleeps, eats, then is awake - happy, smiley, and talkative for about 10 minutes. We affectionately call it her "happy window." When the happy window closes, she gets a little fussy and just wants some snuggle time either held wrapped up in a blanket or worn by mommy in a sling or wrap until she falls asleep again. I'm sure loving all the snuggle time with my Claire Bear!

One Month Old

My sweet Claire is one month old today! Wow! That was the fastest month of my life! I can definitely tell she has grown and her chicken legs are looking less skinny. She is a lot more alert when she's awake now, focuses more on faces and will even smile on occasion. She still wakes up about every 2.5 to 3 hours, but I'm feeling less sleep deprived. Maybe I'm just getting used to it. :)

Claire loves to be swaddled in a blanket, but she seems most content being worn in a wrap, sling or mei tai. I'm getting lots of good snuggle time with her!
This adorable quilt was made by my friend, Marika. I'm planning to take a picture of Claire on it every month up to a year to show her growth. I was hoping to get a front shot of her, but every time I turned her over, she cried. Oh well. The girl likes to be on her tummy!
I love the sweet froggy legs!
