Apologies

For those of you who keep up with our blog routinely, I want to send out my apologies for the lack of updates. Transitioning back to being a fellow and being a mom on top of that has been overwhelming to say the least. I love my job but it is intense and the hours are long, leaving me little time to cuddle my precious baby. As you can imagine, I would rather cuddle than blog. I am off this weekend and promise to do our blog justice. Here are a few photos to keep your interest until then. They were taken a few weeks ago... just wait until you see how big she is now!

Four Months Old!!

Does that look like a happy 4 month old or what? Grammy got Claire all dressed up for her big day which corresponded to Grammy's ___ birthday. You know I won't tell how old she is and it is even harder to guess now that she has her new hair do. Anyway, Miss Claire has had quite a month. She is now sitting in her bumbo chair regularly and has really good truncal strength. She loves to coo and smile and at times seems to try to mimic what we are doing with our mouths. This is especially apparent at dinner time as she sits with us smacking her lips and drooling... our pediatrician says no food yet because she was so early. She intermittently swats at toys you hold in front of her and help you hold her paci and bottle. She continues to have the most lovely temperament; she rarely cries. She is still waking one or two times to eat at night, which I don't mind since I spend so little time with her during the day. Happy 4 months Claire Bear!
