Three months!! <3

I can't believe Claire is 3 Months old!!! Where has time gone? We don't know how much she weights or how long she is (no doctor visit this month), but we unofficially weighed her on the pumpkin scale and she was about 13 lbs. As far as how long she is, well she can't fit into 0-3 month clothes because they are too short for her, but they are still too wide- go figure!
She does all sorts of fun things now! Claire smiles, she sleeps longer, she plays by herself, and she is starting to make fun squealing noises.

I'd like to shout out to the grandma's- My mom and Jeff's mom have been absolutely wonderful to Claire. I think I would have an anxiety attack if she didn't have grandma care every day. So thank you so much for dealing with Claire, who is often gassy, fussy, likes to be held, hates going to sleep in a crib, but will gladly post up on your "pillows" for hours. We really appreciate your patience and love!! :o)

On another note, I got to hang out with Teresa and Emily Munteanu this friday night and we had a fun low key night! We went to dinner at Swallow on the Hallow in Roswell, then we watch The Proposal (pretty cute movie). I'm thankful that they came by to see me and Claire (and they even helped to put Claire to sleep!). I can't wait to see every one else soon!

On my final random note, Emily Munteanu asked me some serious decorating questions. So this weekend, I am planning on painting, carpeting, and moving the flat screen tv into the florida room. We're planning on making that our "room we hang out the most in." After all of my decorating shows (especially Sarah Richardson- thanks to Marci!) I have decided to paint my florida room a warm vanilla color. I'll post before and after pictures soon!

Sweet sleeping baby

Putting Claire to sleep takes a few minutes each night, but it's well worth the rocking, walking, and singing. I love when she sleeps with her mouth open like this...

Or when she's sleep sticking her tongue out like this... Or has a funny dream, like this... The good news is that she is sleeping from 9:00pm to 7:00am, but the semi-embarassing news is that she is still sleeping in our room. I'm mentally working on moving her into her room, but with the occasional midnight feeding, sometimes it's just easier to have her in the room with us. We were going through this time where she would wake up at 5:00am- that wasn't very fun. Even though I'm up at all hours of the night, it is so worth it to see her beautiful smiling face! Love her!!

Playtime at the Pumpkin Patch!!

We went to the Berry Patch Farm today to get three pumpkins (daddy pumpkin, mommy pumpkin, and baby Claire pumpkin). I can't believe how cold it was and I tried to dress Claire as warm as I possible could, but she didn't care- she was an awesome trooper!! She loved looking around at the pumpkins and the other screaming kids. Claire was so patient while I looked for cute photo places and searched for the best pumpkins. We put Claire on the scale and weighed her- she was almost 13 lbs! I'm not sure that's exactly right, but at least I know my baby girl is growing! She fell asleep on the way home, but then woke up and was super smiley!

On another note, Jeff and I went to the Georgia Tech vs. Virigina Tech game. Three words- it was awesome. I couldn't believe GT won!!! It was the first time Claire was baby sat by someone other than Harmony or Mimi. My wonderful co-worker, Maureen and her daughter Colleen, watched her. She was such a good baby for them and I'm so proud of her! I won't lie, I did kinda cry in the car on the way to the game, but I knew she was in fantastic hands!! I'm so thankful for her!!

Sleepy Girl!

It never ceases to amaze me how stinking cute my baby is!! I wake up, I'm rushing around to get ready, then I go to get Claire and this is what I see...
I love everything about her and I just can't get enough of how cute she is!! When I have a crappy day at work, I come home to her and she makes all the bad go away. She is so worth it!

It's the little things...

It's the little things that make me smile...

Fall is here and Claire is 10 weeks!

My sweet little girl is a ramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech! Here she is zoning out while daddy fell asleep after the game. They sure did cheer hard!

So I was starting to think that I had an unhappy baby because she wouldn't smile, but she's trying- with cute little grins! This is Claire giving Jeff the stank eye because he had the camera going in her face!

This is her getting excited about play time!

Claire is so much fun now! She still sleeps a lot and sometimes she cries a lot, but she's also starting to play and explore. She loves bumbo time, tummy time, and is even starting to push off with her feet! I can't believe how fast she's growing and I can't believe that she already doesn't fit into some of her clothes. The funny thing is, she's so long that she doesn't fit into anything with footsies, but she's so skinny that she barely fits into newborn pants and skirts! It's hard to find clothes to fit a long skinny baby. I love her sweet, calm personality- you can tell she's a lot like Jeff (thank goodness!). I'm hoping to plan some trips soon to go to the applefest and to the pumpkin farm (I think I'll be more excited!!)
