Sweet Baby Girl is one month old!

Our precious Claire turned one month old on May 13th! While she is all girl to us, she has shown us already that she can keep up with the boys. She has shown strong weight gain to 10 1/2 lbs in one month. She can burp (repeatedly) with the best of them. She has healthy lungs when she wants something - based on her "get this diaper off" screams, she should be pretty easy to potty-train.

We have had an enjoyable first month with our Claire! The boys absolutely adore her and have welcomed her into the family with open arms...and lots of smothering kisses and hugs. Connor has especially been helpful with taking over a feeding from time-to-time. They both look for her in the morning for their goodbyes and then after school, first thing they both do is look for her and ask about her day.

Claire is starting to settle into a steady routine, which I am sure she will change as soon as we get used to it. She usually has an extended nap in the morning and the late afternoon. She loves her paci, her bouncy seat and the swing. She goes to bed in her bassinet around 10ish each night and gets one more feeding before we go to bed. Then, she's up once or twice in the night for a bottle, but usually goes back to sleep. She's definitely becoming more alert and is really working on holding her head up.

She has been a sweet little baby that seems content and happy! She seems especially comforted by the loudness of her big brothers - that is definitely a good thing!
