(Thanks Rachel for this picture!)
Oh goodness little Clara. You really are the CUTEST baby.
We simply can not get enough of you.
Here are a few things about you this month:
You weigh 15 lbs 12.5 ounces (35th percentile).
You are 26 inches tall (47th percentile).
Your little head is 41 cm (14th percentile).
*Well you have definitely passed your sister on the charts this year. Well by passed her I mean you are much bigger than she was at your age. In fact she didn't weigh as much as you until she was almost 10 months old! You chubby little thing!
*A lot has changed this month in the eating department. I have cut back on nursing more. I just can't keep up with you. As hard as it is, I never want you to be hungry. So you have a bottle of formula in the morning when you wake up and then you have one at night with rice cereal before bed. If we are out and about I will give you bottle for those feedings as well just because it is more convenient. But I nurse you mostly during the day and if you wake up at night to eat. We've also introduced you to solid foods. Or the baby food. You seem to LOVE it. Your favorites are bananas and sweet potatoes but you will eat any of the fruits. You are a bit picky with the green vegetables so we will keep working on that:) You get so excited when I put your bib on and you kick those chubby little legs around. When I give you the food you literally inhale it and you try and chew it with those little gums of yours. Whenever we are eating you always just sit and stare so you may or may not have have tasted a lot more foods than just the baby food:) Bottom line is that you LOVE LOVE to eat!

*Sleeping....hmmm you do not sleep the best at nights we'll just say that. Sometimes you wake up 2 times, other times you wake up more. So we've got to keep working on that.
* We have introduced you to the game pat a cake and you love it. Your big sister especially loves to play it with you. Another game that you two love to play is grabbing Olivia's binky. She will come up close to you and you will reach out and grab her binky out of her mouth and try and put it in your mouth. You both giggle and can play it over and over. You get so serious and seem to be concentrating so hard. I could watch you two play forever.
*Dad has discovered that if he hangs you upside you open your mouth in a perfect oval formation making you look exactly like a bird haha. That's your dad for ya:)
*Bathtime is so fun around here. First we wash you off in your little whale tub and then we scoot you to the back of the tub and scrub your sister off. Then it's time for you two to play. Sometimes Olivia even tries to squish in to your tub with you.
*You definitely can roll over but you rarely do. You mostly just pop your little head out like a turtle and look around.
* You can sit up by yourself for about 5 seconds. Yay!
*You love to be carried around by me. I think your favorite thing is when we vacuum!
* You are such sweet baby and just have the most innocent look about you. You do seem to be afraid of your big sister at times. She can be a bit loud and rambuncteious so sometimes you will start whining when you hear her coming!
We are blessed every single moment we get to be with you.
You are truly our little angel and we couldn't love you more!
