Claire is 3 months

I feel like a broken record, but really, how does time go by so fast??? I cannot believe that little Claire is 3 months old. It has flown by. Although when I remember the delivery and recovery it does kind of seem like awhile ago.

Claire is still such a laid back, happy girl. We have been so lucky with her! She is a wonderful sleeper and is such a happy girl when she is awake. She is getting herself into more of a pattern these days and is taking about 3-4 naps a day. She is sleeping from 7:30pm to somewhere between 6-8am. If she gets up before 6:30am, she typically goes back to sleep for about 2 hours. She has been sleeping in her own room for about the last 3 weeks. She goes to bed awake and swaddled and she shimmies herself around a little bit and goes to sleep on her own.

She is still growing, although I feel like her growth has slowed down a little bit. Thank goodness or she would be in 2T by the end of the summer :)! She is about 15 1/2 pounds now, which is an unofficial figure I got from weighing her with me on my scale. She is mainly wearing size 3-6 mo dresses and 9 mo or 6-12 mo onsies, bathing suits, one piece outfits. She is wearing a size 2 diaper.

She eats 5-6 ounces of formula every 3 hours during the day and she doesn't spit up too much. She is getting really strong and is trying to roll over as hard as she can. She loves her play mat and really plays with the things that hang over her head. She loves looking into the mirror. She smiles and laughs out loud all the time. She is pretty good with tummy time and holds her head up really well. She loves to be looking around when you hold her and is getting very alert to her surroundings. She loves to suck on her fist, but does not take a pacifier or suck her thumb. She still loves her swing and is so content in it.  She still LOVES her bath. She seems to know when it is bath time and gets the biggest smile on her face as I carry her naked to the bathtub. She seems to enjoy the pool as well, but nothing is as big of a hit as her bath!

If you can believe it, her eyes are still blue. They are the same dark blue grey they've been since she was born. I'm starting to think that they will stay this way, or be hazel like my mom's. I really don't think she's going to end up with brown eyes like the rest of us. Her hair still hasn't really fallen out, nor has she gotten any more. Evan's hair started to grow in more around 6 mos, so I'm hoping for the same. Her hair is definitely lighter than it looks in pictures. I think once it comes in, it will be light brown or blonde.

She is just the most precious little girl and we love her so much. Happy 3 months little Claire bear!
