Claire: 4 Months

Little Miss Claire Bear is now 4 months old! She is such a cute little stinker. I love her chubby cheeks and the cute little rolls she has gotten the last few months!

I dread going to Dr appointments because I know she will be getting shots and it just kills me inside to hear her cry like she does. Thankfully she is usually back to normal within 24 hours.

Here is how she is measuring up:

Height: 24.5 in (45%)
Weight: 12 lbs 11 oz (16th%)

She is slightly smaller than Lydia was at this age so they are basically on the same growing pattern. She does fairly well sleeping at night most of the time nowadays. She usually wakes up twice to eat, but on occasion she will only wake up once. I have come to terms that I will never have one of those miracle babies who sleeps for 8+ hours straight at 6 weeks! Naps are patterning after Lydia as well. She will usually only take a 45 minute nap when she goes down so she has to have 3-4 of those little catnaps during the day and Lydia was the same way.

Here are a few things she is doing at this age right now:

- Sucking on her fingers
- Standing up like a big girl (she loves that)
- Drinking water from mom's cup or a sippy cup
- She is ticklish usually when she is tired and her giggles are ADORABLE
- She likes to talk when she is getting her diaper changed
- She rolls onto her side, but hasn't rolled completely over yet
- Tummy time is probably one of her least favorite things, but she is getting better at it
