On Tuesday March 30th Claire had her 4 month old checkup. Her new stats are:

Weight: 11 lbs 1 oz (8th%) - up 5 lbs 1 oz from birth
Height: 21 inches (33rd%)- 2 1/2 inches longer than at birth
Head: 16.5 inches (17th%)- 3 1/2 inches larger

We also attended what could be our last My Gym Class on Thursday. Claire played on all of her favorite toys, was "shot out of a canon", and enjoyed a conversation with her friend Delaney.

Three Months

On March 6th Claire hit the 3 month old mark! It has been a busy month for us and therefore we are a little behind on postings.

• We kicked off the month by taking Claire to get her 3 month photos taken at Hassler Photography. We made it through the photos with only a few minor breakdowns. The photos came out beautiful and you can check them out at:http://hasslerphoto.zenfolio.com/p338055160 Password: Claire

• We also celebrated Melissa's Birthday- her first as a mommy!
• Then Jessica (a friend from grad school at UNCG) came to visit for a few days. It was great to have her here and Claire enjoyed getting to meet her and have lots of cuddle time and story time with Miss Jessica! The visit was over much too soon and we are looking forward to seeing Jessica and Willis soon (perhaps at a wedding in which they are the bride and groom??)

• Then came St. Patty's Day in which Claire celebrated her inner Irish with this adorable outfit and hanging out in her Bumbo.

• On Thursday Claire took her daddy to My Gym for the first time. Also our friend Jessica Yoo joined us for the class. Over the past several weeks we have grown to love My Gym more and more! Claire loves trying new things like the fireman ladder, the train, parachute rides, among other things. Here she is during circle time and on the log roll.

The bib says it all...

Little Update: At her appointment on Thursday- Claire weighed in at 9 lbs 10 oz.

Two Months

How fast the time has gone! We can hardly believe that Claire is two months old today! As is our monthly tradition we tried to recreate the photos from her 3rd day of life so that we could see how much she has grown. She was not enjoying the pose very much so here is the best we got!

She did enjoy her bathtime today so we included a photo from that today:

Per our measurements she is almost 10 pounds (this is based on the Wii Fit Plus- Claire has her own Baby Mi) and is 21.5 inches long. We will get the official measurements on Thursday at her 2 month appointment- which we are not looking forward to as it will involve her first set of shots. We are thinking of pulling a Maci & Ryan (all you teen mom fans know what we are talking about) and doing rock paper scissors to see who will be the one to hold her for the shots.
