At 5 Months Clara....
---Giggles all the time.
She especially likes being pulled up by her arms and having her feet
tickled
 |
| I have a cuter, zoomed in version of this picture, but I can't get it off my phone. So just imagine it zoomed in. Thanks |
---Finally finished off her last box of size 1 diapers and
has moved on to size 2
 |
| She has perfect skin. And the cutest little dimpled rear end. I'm a little obsessed with it. |
--Has dark grey eyes.
They are a darker version of Erik’s.
We wondered if they would turn brown like mine, but she is moving out of
the stage when they would change.
 |
| She still loves her car seat. She actually sleeps in it overnight, just not strapped in. When she sleeps in the crib or the pack-n-play she rolls over to the edge and gets stuck and fusses. |
--Loves to kick and stand
 |
| She also loves to suck her toes. Yum yum. Also, check out those thighs. |
--Has actually regressed a little sleeping. I need to sleep train her, but I’m not sure
what approach to take. I am definitely
open to suggestions/ anecdotal information.
 |
| She is definitely wearing a fur vest and pulling it off. Unfortunately this picture was taken right before she blew out the back of her outfit. |
--Had a great visit with her Nona. My mom has perfected the bottom-pat, pacing
method of getting Clara to sleep
 |
| This is one of my favorite pictures ever taken. A Nona and baby sharing a coke. |
--Wears size 3-6 months clothes and 6 month clothes. All the fall baby outfits are so cute that I
can’t stop buying them
 |
| We are practicing sitting. She enjoys her (Aubrie's) Bumbo. |
--Loves gadgets. She will be all smiley and cute, but when I
go to take a picture she gets too distracted by the phone or the ipad and won’t
smile.
 |
| She's been into toys this month. Mostly into eating them, but also hitting them around. |
--Watches Baby Einstein a couple times a week. There’s one part that cracks her up where
blue and purple dots swirl around. In fact, she is watching Baby Einstein as we speak.
 |
| When my mom was here we were at volleyball with the cheerleaders for like 5 hours. Clara held up best out of all three of us. |
--Has started having a tablespoon of rice cereal before bed
at night. There have been some strange
diapers as a result.
 |
| This is Erik feeding Clara her first bites of solid food. She loved it and rocked the spoon. |
--Likes having stories read to her as long as they don’t
last too long
 |
| Erik and Clara at homecoming. It was a little chilly. I know that her suit is for a boy, but it's blue and that's one of the school colors. |
--Spends a lot of time chilling on her belly
 |
| I enjoy counting the chins in this picture |
--Won’t wear shoes and pulls her socks off
 |
| "Hmmm....should we do the two-for-twenty, mom?" |
--Tries to bite everything.
She’s working on a tooth and it makes her want to gnaw
 |
| I would like to snuggle this picture. |
--Has much lighter hair than she had when she was born. It’s still pretty short, but super fuzzy and
soft and smells yummy
 |
| A homecoming close-up. Clara was ready to go home. |
--Likes to watch the wind blow the trees outside the window
 |
| I love that sweet face |
Being a mom to a baby is so much more fun than I expected. We are too busy playing for me to blog much :) Come visit and you can play too.
