Clare Marie: 3 months old 3.30.16

At 3 months Clare is:
-smiling when you talk to her
-entertained by her siblings
-eating 6 to 7 times a day
-loves her hands
-still not letting her dad hold her for long periods of time!
-loves laying on her changing table
-is mommy's side kick (I had a board meeting the other day and the thought crossed my mind about bringing her along...what?!)
-sleeps for 8-10 hours with a 10 minute feeding at 5am and then back to bed.
-Clare went on her first vacation to St. George Island.



Clare is on a great schedule so far! She goes to bed between 9-9:30pm and wakes between 5-6am to feed for 10 minutes and then right back to bed until about 8-9am. I'm in love with this schedule she is on (knock on wood) because it allows me to accomplish a lot in the morning.  After her 5am feeding, I will put her back to bed and start my day before the older two get up around 6am. Ahhh, the simple things. Starting a load of laundry, working on my etsy shop and enjoying a cup of coffee is a good start to my day. I even turn on the news and catch what's happening in the world...they should have a ticker at the bottom of the kid stations! Lol







What a cute Cub fan! Cubs are awesome this year!!!

Her first time rolling ALL the way over! 
4 1/2 months! She had been working on this for awhile!

Easter Sunday 3.27.16

Since we've had kids, holidays have been even more enjoyable! Teaching our children traditions and spending time with family is what it's all about.

Clare's Newborn Pictures

I decided to do Clare's newborn pictures myself this time around. I needed pictures for my shop as well so, why not. It's cold out and with us not going anywhere unless we need to, I got to play around with the camera...I mean my phone.

This one didn't turn out but still had to add it!
