Claire at One Month

Claire at 1 Month and 1 Day (May 12th, 2015)

It is hard to believe that it has been a month already (actually 6 weeks, but this information is from when Claire was just a month old). The time has honestly flown by, and not even in that "the days were so long but in retrospect it flew by" kind of way; it really does seem like the last month has gone by in a blur.

Claire is an absolute sweetheart - even if she does just eat and sleep most of the time. She's a great nurser and a pretty good sleeper: she of course wakes up a couple of times to eat, but she usually goes back to sleep pretty quickly after finishing. She's not a big fan of tummy time so hopefully she understands that we make her do it for her own good.

At her one month appointment (which was at exactly one month) Claire weighed 8 pounds 13 ounces (45th percentile for the WHO, 46th for the CDC), Was 22 inches long (87th percentile for the WHO, 77th for the CDC), and her head was 14.5 inches (60th for the WHO, 45th for the CDC). She's growing like crazy and is just now starting to transition out of newborn clothes.

We're excited for all the changes this next month will bring for our little princess!

Claire's Newborn Photos

We had newborn pictures taken of Claire a few days after we got home from the hospital. I've had them for awhile now but am just now remembering to post them (of course). Claire was of course adorable (and oddly enough for a newborn insisted on being awake the entire time) and James absolutely loved having some pictures taken of himself as well. I was less fond of pictures being taken of me since I had just had a baby less than a week ago but managed to jump in for a couple.

Without further ado, here they are:
