{FEEDING}
FOURTH MONTHS
FIVE MONTHS
Clara eats 5 ounces of pumped breastmilk every 2.5 to 3 hours. We tried rice cereal, just for fun, and she LOVED it! She just loves sitting in her bumbo like a big girl!
SIX MONTHS
Clara eats 6 ounces of pumped breastmilk every 3 - 3.5 hours. She eats 5 times a day. She is officially eating solids! For her first feeding, she has a bottle (around 4:30 AM). Then, she eats around 8:00 where she has a bottle, then rice cereal and a jar of pears. She has her third bottle. Then her fourth bottle and a vegetable. She has had sweet potatoes (which she didn't like at first), squash (which is her FAVE) and carrots (which she likes). Miss Jessica heats it up for a smidge to suit Miss Clara's fancy. We tried banana and vegetable Mum Mums, which have been a lot of fun. Messy...but fun!
{SLEEPING}
FOUR MONTHSClara is sleeping through the night! HOORAY! She is still in our room, sleeping in the pack-n-play. This whole sleeping through the night business has changed our life! She wakes up around 3:30 AM for her first feeding of the day and then gets up around 6:30 or 7:00.
FIVE MONTHS
Clara is still sleepin gthrough the night. She is still in our room in her pack-n-play. She can now go down by herself, without having to "walk and shush" her to sleep.
SIX MONTHS
At six months, Clara sleeps in her crib, in her room, like a big girl. Although I missed having her in my room terribly, our tiny one sleeps so much more soundly. She has been going down between 6:00 and 6:30 at night. She just has so much fun at Miss Jessica's! We read 2 - 3 books, sing Jesus Loves Me, and I put her down. She LOVES her caterpillar wubba and her lovie up by her cheek. She sleeps until around 4:30 or 5:00.
{CLOTHING}
FOUR MONTHS

FIVE MONTHS
Clara is in size 3 Pampers (Cruisers). They seem so big on her! She is wearing 6-9 month clothing.
SIX MONTHS
She is in size 3 Pampers (Cruisers) still. She is wearing 6-9 month clothing. Since she's in pants right now, the 9 month stuff fits her best...since she's our long baby!
{PERSONALITY}
FOUR MONTHS
She LOVES her hands. They are the best toy ever. They are in her mouth 24/7! She holds her toy and passes it from hand to hand. She is such a happy girl. She still loves to cuddle! She hasn't met a stranger and is very smiley to everyone.
FIVE MONTHS
What a happy baby girl we have! She truly just loves everything. She loves her mommy, daddy, Lee Lee, Pop Pop, Lolly, puppies, hands, Sophie, napkins, zurberts from Daddy, playing in her diaper...the list goes on and on! She is so much fun! When she gets excited, her arms and legs just flaile about! It's the cutest thing I've ever seen.
SIX MONTHS
If I could describe my angel in a word it would be...joyful. She is so full of joy it hurts my heart. EVERYTHING makes her happy. She is especially in love with Karlie and Cooper. When they are around, nothing else matters. She loves to play with her toys, she loves to have stories read to her, she loves to give kisses, she loves to grab for my jewelry, hair, clothes, scarves. This little girlis truly the happiest little peanut. She can sit up now...and love sitting in a high chair! When she gets excited, she flaps her little arms so fast and breathes really loudly. AHHHHH, again it just hurts my heart. Every day, I look at her, in awe. How, on earth, did I get to be so lucky?
