Hello little Claire Bear,
You will quickly see how horrible I am at regularly writing or posting anything! You turned 4 months old last Thursday, I thought that would be a good milestone to remember! You and Chloe went to the doctor together last week, you for your 4 month check up and Chloe for her Kindergarten physical. You weigh 13.9 lbs and you are 24 inches long! Very tall for your age, 96th percentile.
You are a super happy little girl and I have never seen a cuter smile. I can only say that because I have a horrible memory and I can't remember what all your brothers and sisters smiles were like! (You will also quickly notice that I have an addiction to exclamation points) You are getting more and more ticklish everyday! I remember at some point I mentioned your horrible sleeping patterns and said I would talk more about them later but I wont! Well, I wont dwell on them, I will just say that there were way to many nights that you and I (and sometimes you and Daddy) were up until 3 or 4 in the morning!! I am glad to report that it is only 10:15 and you have been asleep for at least 10 minutes already. That is soooo much better then 4 am! You even sleep through the night already! (All these statements deserve exclamation points, by the way) I was telling your Doctor, Dr Nygaard who is awesome by the way, about your sleeping schedule of 10-12 hours at night and just little cat naps during the day to make sure that was an ok schedule. He said that sounded like a pretty good trade off, I agree.
You love attention and have just recently started babbling a lot and making little high pitched screams to entertain yourself. It is very cute! I can't get anything done during the day because that would mean I would have to look away from you for more than 10 seconds at a time and that is a lot harder than it sounds! You make my life so full of love and happiness and I cant imagine it any different.
I was getting ready to lay you down tonight and you just had the sweetest little look on your face. I started to think about your future, how special you are, and all the potential you have. I hope your life is full of great things and nothing but happiness. You are a sweet and precious daughter of Heavenly Father, always remember that. I know that is true, I know it with all my heart. I love you more than I could have ever imagined and yet I know that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us both more than we will ever understand. I am sure I have said it before and I will say it again, I LOVE being your mommy, thank you for being my baby. Thank you for making me smile a thousand times a day, and for teaching me all about love, happiness, and true joy.
I love you!!
