Clara's 3 months.

I can't believe we've had you with us for 3 whole months.

It's hard to remember what our little family was like without you.

You fit so perfectly and bring so much happiness.

Here are a few things about you:

*You giggled for the first time. Just once though. And we haven't heard it since but it was the cutest giggle I've ever heard. I can't wait for more!

*You smile all the time now. Seeing your little smile completely melts my heart. It doesn't get better, I promise!

*You are an angel sleeper. You now sleep from around 11:00 pm to 6-6:30 am. And then wake up to be nursed and fall right back asleep until around 9:00 am. You then wake up again,  nurse and then fall back asleep until 12:00 pm. You then have a few more awake periods and good naps throughout the rest of the day and evening. But you have definitely figured out that nothing is better than nice long naps and a good nights sleep. I am forever grateful for this. It makes for a much happier mommy!

*You sleep in mommy and daddy's bed. Some may say this is naughty but I have found it to be simply wonderful. There is nothing better than cuddling you all night long. You love to nuzzle your little face right into my neck. 

*You LOVE to be held. Always. Grandpa jokes around and will say, "do you ever put her down?" or "don't you get sick of holding her?" My answer is always no. I could hold you all day long and never get sick of it. I think I love holding you just as much as you love being held. 

*Olivia is such a sweet big sister. And is always watching out for you. She loves to hold you and shower you with wet little kisses all over your chubby cheeks. She loves to help out and hold your legs while I change your diaper. You have the best big sister ever. And I have the two cutest girls ever:)

*You love your binky. And will still take a bottle of my milk as long as anyone else besides me gives it to you.

*You seem to have brown hair and olive skin like me. Your eyes change daily. Sometimes looking brown and sometimes looking dark blue. I guess we'll wait to see what color they are!

*You have started cooing and making little sounds. You started off mostly doing it to daddy but luckily decided to include me in on the cuteness. 

*You still let out very loud screams before you sneeze. It's quite dramatic, but we laugh every time.

*You are much chubbier than your sister was. With rolls literally all over your entire body. Sometimes I just have to squish you it's so cute.

*You have big round eyes that seem so alert now. You are so good at lifting that little head of yours and turning it from side to side while looking at things. Oh and your little forehead lines are simply to die for when you are focusing on something.

*You hate having your finger nails and toenails clipped. Which is really unfortunate because they grow like weeds!

Clara you are such a good baby. You rarely cry and are just content being carried around everywhere I go. I seriously can not get enough of you. I thank our Heavenly Father every day for allowing me to be you and your sister's mother. We are blessed indeed.
