Claire is 4 months old!

Well, this post is a tad bit delayed because of our trip and my laziness, but she is still 4 months old, so technically it's accurate!

On June 26 (Joe and my 6th wedding anniversary), Claire turned 6 months.
Some stats on Claire this month:
18lbs, 4oz
26 inches
size 2-3 diapers
size 12 month clothes
Eats about 32 ounces a day (8oz first feeding, 6 oz 4 other feedings)
Sleeps from about 6:30/7:00pm-6:30/7:00am
Naps between each feeding anywhere from 15 mins-2 hours
No teeth and no swollen gums, but she drools a lot and it always putting her hand in her mouth

Yes, she has a tan! I put SPF 50 on her and keep her out of the sun completely. 

She just has my skin I guess...(good thing Joe never reads this, he would argue it's his skin)

And yes she is just 4 months old! She is gigantic in a cuddly sort of babyish way. She is off the charts in height, weight and head circumference. Well, at least she's proportionate. And if anyone remembers how big Evan was as a baby, she now weighs 2lbs more than he did at the same age. She is growing through her clothes so quickly, that she has not worn many outfits that she owns. I feel bad that she hasn't gotten to wear so many of the adorable outfits she has; it's a little easier because so many of her clothes are hand me downs (but the sweetest, most adorable, barely worn hand-me downs). The painful part is pulling out all new clothes each month and packing the old stuff away. She can't keep growing like this, can she? At least she's healthy, that's all that really matters!!

Babies are just too cute in stripes

She is still really happy and adapts pretty well to everything. She went on her first plane trip right around her 4 month birthday and did great, no ear problems at all. She loved everyone she met and slept like a champ on the trip.

She has gotten the go ahead to begin eating food and we tried it for the first time today, July 7. She really seemed into it and ate about half the food I prepared. We started with rice cereal. I'll post pictures of that soon. Hopefully she keeps liking it.

Happy 4 month birthday little girl. We love you!
