4 Months and Halloween


My sweet Claire Bear at 4 months!

Stats:
12.7 pounds- 23rd percentile
24 1/4 inches- 49th percentile
She is just a little thing!
She has become quite the talker- she loves to make new sounds and is starting to giggle and laugh. She loves to play on the floor with her toys. She is very aware of where I am at all times and usually cries when she cant see me. She still does pretty good sleeping through the night but lately I have to get up a few times to pop her binkie back in and then she will go right back to sleep. We have not started solid foods but I will give it a shot in the next few weeks.
This year we dressed up for Halloween and the ward trunk-or-treat. Claire was a cute little pumpkin. She did great through the whole activity- I think she loved watching what was going on.
Jimmy was uncle Sam and I was the Statue of Liberty. We have been this before but I decided I didn't want to buy new costumes so I just amped Jimmy's up. I found the blazer and red pants at the Salvation army for a whopping 5 $. I made his bow tie, stars, and belt. Hey- we even won a prize for the best costumes- something we were not expecting!
We had a great time!

3 months and fall fun



I cant believe how fast the time has gone! I am a little late on posting her 3 month picture- she will actually be four months on Saturday! She is such a sweet, darling baby- I simply cant get enough of her.

I finally caught a smile on camera! She smiles and laughs all the time- but the second she sees the camera she stops and is too busy staring at it!
We took a trip to the local apple orchard to pick our pumpkins-its kind of a tradition of ours and we were excited to take Claire.
It was a little cold and windy that day- she we made it a quick visit.
The pumpkin patch was huge! there were so many interesting things growing- we had fun just walking around. PS- Jimmy loves wearing the baby bjorn!

She was asleep by the time we were done- all snug on dad's chest!
