Claire at 4 Months

Claire on August 17th, 2015 - 4 Months and 6 Days Old

It's hard to believe that Claire the bear is already 4 months old. At 4 months old Claire weighs 13 pounds 14 ounces (55% CDC; 41% WHO) is 25 inches long (75% CDC; 71% WHO) and her head is 16 inches (39% CDC; 49% WHO). She is a healthy little bean and growing like a weed.

Claire loves playing with her feet and pulling her socks off. She also still enjoys a good toy chomping and pulling hair. During tummy time or when lying on her back Claire will often roll up onto her side but she still hasn't quite figured out how to actually flip herself all the way over. Claire can sit with minimal support and loves being sung to and watching James play.

One funny thing that Claire has started doing is this little scream. If she wants something but isn't really upset she will start shrieking in a very distinct way instead of crying. I'll take the scream - it is definitely preferable to hearing this sweet little baby cry.

Claire is still an easy going and sweet baby. She sleeps great (knock on wood) and usually only wakes up around 5 am to eat. Our only problem now is that she wants to sleep from 10 or 11 at night until 9 in the morning - if we could only get this schedule moved up a couple of hours it would be golden.
