Claire - 4 months old

4 Months Old

Instagram Post: I can't believe Claire is 4 months old today!!! She wasn't really in the mood for a photo shoot today, she's already getting so busy and wouldn't hold still! She is so smiley and loves to talk and coo, and even started laughing this week! ♡ She also spends a lot of time with her hands in her mouth, but no teeth spotted yet. She is getting less fussy but still has a crying fit most nights before bed. Her favorite things are mommy, her binky, the swing, and her new play saucer toy. She has started grasping at things and loves to play with her feet. She is also rolling both ways now but doesn't roll back to tummy that often. She still hates her car seat but tolerates it a little bit better (especially if I sit back with her). We are also working on improving her napping skills :) We love this girl so so much!! 💟

Claire isn't a huge fan of the Bumbo, as you can see below haha

Not sure how that happened!

She loves big sister!

Love those big blue eyes

All dressed up for family pictures

The next two pictures remind me so much of Isaac as a baby!

She loves playing in her saucer!

Claire has graduated to a regular carrier

I have so many pictures of Claire sleeping....I think she looks so sweet and angelic when she sleeps!

Brother playing a little too rough with her, as always ;)

First time trying out the swing!

Claire loves to grab her feet

Zonked out!

Claire started solids this month! She did surprisingly well! My other two kids didn't love rice cereal at first and I had to try several times to get them to eat it, but she did well on the first try!

LOVE that smile!

Watching Kindle with big sissy

When I took Claire in for her 4 month shots the entire pediatrician's office was dressed up like Disney characters, it was so cute! I had to get a picture of her with Woody....I mean Dr. Peterson ;)

Just hanging out with mama

Meeting her cousin Savannah for the first time, they are about 2 weeks apart

Claire and I take lots of naps while the older two are at school :)

Love those rolls!

Claire - 3 months old

On the 10th of every month on Instagram I do a little post about Claire and where she is at developmentally. I thought I would share those posts on here as well as some pictures of her from that month just so I can remember each milestone. I feel like babies change so much and so fast the first year!

3 Months Old

I can't believe this little cutie is 3 months old today!! She is such a little sweetie and we just adore her! ♡ She is becoming more and more interactive and loves to talk and coo at us. She is sleeping through the night (yay!) but still isn't the greatest day time napper.

Claire likes:

○ Mommy :)

○ Her binky

○ Being held

○ Smiling & cooing

○ Her swing

○ Being outside

Claire doesn't like:

○ Her car seat/the car

○ Not being held

○ Napping (without being held that is)

○ Being hungry

Here's a few pictures of Claire at 3 months old!

Having some naked time in Grandma arms while we were camping :)

I just love this smile!

Claire loves her play mat :)

Keith and I went away for the night to SLC and brought Claire with us while the older two slept over at Grandma & Grandpa's. We went out to dinner at Cheesecake Factory, walked around City Creek mall, and then stayed the night in a hotel in downtown SLC. It was fun!

Claire loves tub time!

I love these three SO much!

I love the contrast of the next two pictures.....

Happy :)

Sad :(

At 3 months old, Claire is still quite fussy at night for the last 2-3 hours before bed. She will often cry or fuss for an hour or more straight for no real reason. It is really challenging at times but then you see her cute face like in the picture below and its all worth it :)

Zoo Trip

I am SO behind on blogging! Ahhh! Three kids keeps me so dang busy. Hopefully I can get caught up soon!

Back in September we took the kids to the zoo, it was so much fun! Hogle Zoo had mechanical dinosaurs all throughout the park, which made it really fun.

Cute Claire is finally doing better in her car seat! Yay!
