Claire 4 months
4 months old!
Claire is 4 months old. It’s so hard to believe that my little love is already this big. It flies by with the first, but with the second it’s super sonic speed.
Let’s catch up on what sister has been up to…
-You are wearing 3-6 month clothes and a size 2 diaper
-You eat 5-6 oz every 3 hours for a total of 5 bottles. Sometimes you eat an entire bottle other times you are content with just 4 oz.
-You sleep through the night like a little angel
-You roll over both ways!! Such a big girl! Therefore...
-You have started sleeping on your belly. I hate this…I remember hating it with Wyatt at first too.
-You are no longer swaddled. Mimi broke you of that while we were camping 2 weeks ago.
-You love to be tickled and think your brother is so funny.
-Like every girl, you love to look at yourself in the mirror.
-You take your paci only to fall asleep.
-You are so low maintence.
-Your hair is getting long and still falling out. At least you have quite grabbing clumps of it out. Thank goodness!
-You like to watch Marley and follow him all around the room.
-You wiggle all over the place.
-You will focus in on some cartoons for a while.
You are such a joy to have in our lives Claire.
Memorial Day Weekend
We spent Memorial Day Weekend on the Crooked Creek as we do every year. It was nice to get a breather and to spend time with friends!
I only caught 2 fish this time. The snakes were horrible so I spent all my time seeking out snakes.
I don't really know how many fish Ryan caught...he did catch more than me, but I'm not 100% sure a hat counts.
Bunney working hard back there!
My lovely friends!! I always look forward to this float. Ryan and I (and Allison and Ben) actually cheated the first night and stayed in the cabin. We were lazy and tired of living out of bags/boxes so we opted to not bring out tent and whatnot. Allison and Ben were kind enough to let us crash in the cabin and the second night all 9 of us ended up in there. Ha!
Why I decided it was a good idea to be in a bathing suit 4 months post-partum is beyond. Yuck! I guess I need to get on the ball and get back into shape. No excuses now that we aren't packing up and in between houses!!
Overworked
I guess we had worked Wyatt a little too hard in the whole moving process. He grabbed his blanket and a seat while we were in the middle of unpacking boxes.

Let's talk about Wyatt!
Wyatt is so fun at this age. Sure, he has his moments…not listening, telling us he doesn’t want to do something, repeating “Huh?” 1,000 times a day, throwing fits, asking “Wha dat?” more times than I can count, but overall he is such a joy. He has began to form little sentences and they are so precious. “Sissy up?” is typically the first thing he asked when he gets up. He also knows that when Sissy cries she is a. hungry and b. sleepy. Normally it’s sleepy, so when she starts crying he will either say “nap” or “nite nite” to her. I love it. He always asks to “play” which means you have to go outside…playing doesn’t mean inside at all. He is adjusting to his new house and no longers asks for “woom” (room) but he is still asking for “home.” He will get there. We have transitioned him to a toddler bed and so far so good! He has spent 3 night in it so far. The first night he didn’t go to bed until 10:30. He was just so unsure of it. The second night he went down easy, but snuck into our room about 3. He slept with us for about an hour and we took him back to bed where he stayed. Last night we put him to bed about 9 and at 10:30 he came into our room and said “Hi!” He got taken back to bed where we didn’t see him again until 7 this morning.
He likes to be independent and doesn’t want you helping a lot of the time. He hates when he can’t get shoes on by himself and has started to ask for “help” when he’s nearing the breaking point.
He has lots of chores…feeding “puppy” (Marley), feeding “Kiki” (Kitty cat/Bobby), clothes still, washing windows, “dishes”, and mom says he likes to vacuum.
He is getting so fast running around and like all two year old he is BUSY. Very, very busy.
We are doing really good at potty training! We are going through a lot less diapers!! Thank goodness! We’ve learned that as soon as he says “tee tee” you take him to the potty no matter what and about 85% of the time he is successful in the first attempt. You may take 3 or 4 trips, but eventually he will go. We are so proud of him for this!
It’s hard to believe he is as big as he is, but my goodness he is just so much fun!
