4 Months Old

Claire showing dad how well she can lift her head during tummy time.

We can't quite believe it but Claire is 4 months old today. Time seems to be flying by.

After a couple of nights of waking in the middle of the night Claire has once again taken to sleeping for long stretches. Claire was waking up not because of hunger but because she would scoot herself out from underneath the blanket. Once we figured out that the sleep sack is the ticket we were back in business. And mom promptly went to buy a couple more!

To ring in her 4 month birthday Claire moved into the next diaper size. She is now wearing #2 diapers. We put away more clothing this week - seems like each week she is growing out of one or two items.

Last weekend mom and Claire headed to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch with cousins Ryan and Alex and Aunt Karey. It was a very hot day but Claire seemed to enjoy being out of the stroller as we walked around the corn maze. However, when it came to picture time she was ready for a nap.

Alex shaded Claire's eyes without any prompting from us. Such a smart cookie - making sure his little cousin is OK.

So cute!
I was looking at the lone newborn diaper I have left over and cannot believe she EVER fit into those things.
