Well, hello there!  Two months has FLOWN by!  We thought time went fast with E, but holy cow, life with two goes even faster.  Claire is growing quite rapidly, weighing in at 11 pounds 14 ounces.  She pretty much eats all day long, hating to be set down for even a second.  She hasn’t really figured out the beauty of a good nap.  BUT, she sleeps at night, so that’s a win!  She goes down about 9 p.m. and wakes up to eat between 5 and 6 a.m.  Now that I am back to work, I will get the girls ready then, but it was beautiful a few weeks ago when she would go right back to sleep until about 9 a.m., but then the day of no naps would begin.  So, we are hoping she starts a good nap schedule soon–our sitter is great at getting kids on a schedule.  Pretty much the best actually.
Claire loves to be bounced and if you do dare to sit her down, it better be in the Rock n Play with the vibration on.  She will also tolerate being set down in her warm bath.  She also likes when you make the sushing sound really loud while you bounce her.  She is just entering the smile/coo response stage which is seriously just the best.  Especially when the smile/coo is in response to something Eleanor is doing.  Speaking of Eleanor, phew, she loves this baby something fierce.  The only time Eleanor has ever cried when we do daycare drop off is when we left Claire there for her trial day and E and I left to go to Target (It’s a ritual–but with E I had to do it by myself and it was the WORST.  Glad I had a partner to cry into my chocolate croissant with this time!).

Also, the crying as soon as you set her down is making these little monthly update pictures REALLY difficult.  So I hope you like to see only one semi-happy picture and the rest crying.  Although, E pretty much hated these things too.

And if you’re into comparisons–here is E at two months!

We love you, Claire!

Hope you all had a great week!
Erin

SIX months, you guys!!  SIX.  I go between feeling like it was just yesterday that I was sitting anxiously awaiting the fancy test results from the OB to tell me I was going to be a mama and feeling like she has pretty much been here my whole life.  I honestly cannot picture life without her in it, but time is moving way too fast!  She’s basically a toddler now.  I walked in the other day when she was supposed to be napping and she was sitting up playing.  What?  THEN, I walked in this weekend while she was napping and she was STANDING.  She bathes in a bucket now because her old tub is now a small joke.  Literally.  My guess is she weighs about 20 pounds and she wears around 9-12 month clothes, which is ridiculous.  I am hesitant to pack anything away in the 6-9 month range because I have a feeling that once she starts crawling which is any day now, she may thin out a bit.  She has tried carrots, corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and green peas.  We stopped the rice cereal and switched to oatmeal because I think it was irritating her a bit.  She has slept better through the night since.  She sleeps from about 7-4 am and then eats and goes back to bed till about 6 or 7.  She takes a 2 hour nap in the morning and then a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.  We were trying to be more thoughtful about her awake time and putting her down no more than two hours after she awakes, but it turns out it was probably more the rice cereal than over tiredness.  We have to fight her less with just the two naps, so for now that’s what we are doing.  She literally changes every single day which keeps us on our toes!

In case you would like to look at how far we have come:  here are the previous months!
One Month
Two Months
Three Months
Four Months
Five Months

SO now for the fun part!  Freshly Picked has offered to give one of you lucky ducks a pair of their highly acclaimed soft sole moccasins!  YOU GUYS.  These are the BEST shoes out there.  I have bought so many shoes and socks in the last year in the hopes that she would don them with style and grace.  But then I actually had the baby and tried to put them on her.  Off in seconds.  Seconds.  Plus they mostly just fall off when she wiggles in her car seat.  These moccasins stay on no matter what comes at them.  They can be a little tricky to put on until you get the hang of it, but what that means is that they are next to impossible for baby to pull off.  There is an elastic band that keeps them secure on their feet which is just amazing (hidden inside the soft leather so it does not irritate baby).  They are also real leather which, here comes the best part, once they start walking and crawling, their footprint becomes a part of the sole.  Swoon.  So, I got them in a size 2 for now and then I purchased the size 3 for when she starts walking.  I can’t wait to show her her little footprint someday on these sweet shoes.

Requirements for entry:  Winner cannot have won another Freshly Picked giveaway in the last 60 days, must be following Freshly Picked on Instagram (if you do not have Instagram, you may follow them on Facebook, just enter in the rafflecopter that you are following and put your Facebook name and then let me know in the comments), and  must be 18 years or older!  You may enter internationally, but you will have to pay to ship them outside of the U.S.

Enter Below!

Good luck babes!  Have a great day!

Four Months!

4 months?!  Can you believe it??  This sweet girl is growing too fast.  She is into everything now and she took her first couple of bites of rice cereal after the pediatrician gave the go ahead to try.     She swallowed it pretty quickly…just a few grimaces!  It made this whole getting bigger thing seem so real, so I am not quite sure how steadily we will continue with the rice cereal, but I was too excited/anxious to see if she would take it–and she did!  She is now 14 pounds 11 ounces and 24.25 inches!  She definitely makes a grab for anything she can get her hands on, my hair is her favorite.   Stranger danger is REAL right now so watch out if you go in for some baby cuddles.  She will let you know her displeasure at being away from mama.  A bath or looking in the mirror are quick ways to calm her down.  Baby girl also sleeps about 10 hours a night!  Naps are little tricky, but she eventually takes around 3 1-2 hour naps!

All in all, she is just perfect.  Our little babe is quite loved.
Happy four months, E!

Hope you all have a great day!  Stay tuned for an exciting giveaway happening tomorrow!
Erin
