Last Friday, Claire and I met some of my really good friends for lunch. Claire was really good and of course loved being passed around! She is always up for a lunch date!

This weekend I put together Claire's high chair. She is sitting up pretty good these days and I figured she would like somewhere new to sit. She is loving it!!
Claire LOVES Bailey...Bailey does NOT LOVE Claire!!!
Last weekend Claire spent her first night away from us. Aunt Laura was kind enough to host the spend the night party at her place while Chris and I were in Daytona for the weekend. I had to work Friday - Sunday at the Coca-Cola Zero 400 last weekend, so Chris kept Claire Friday night and then left her with Laura and Matt on Saturday night. Claire did really great...according to Laura. (also known in my family as the Baby Whisperer). Thanks Laura!! Claire is still talking about how much fun she had!!!
Today Claire is four months old! She went for her check up on Monday and weighed in a 14.8 lbs and measured 25 inches long. The shots were traumatic as usual, but she did okay...as did I. This past weekend, also marked another big milestone....switching from the little infant bottles to the big girl 8oz bottles! She is in the midst of a growing spurt and is gulping down 6ozs every feeding.
She is laughing and talking (cooing) all the time now. She rolls all over the place and can almost sit up on her own. Her favorite toy continues to be Mallory the Monkey and Claire is officially a thumb sucker. (no matter how many times I try to replace that thumb with a paci)
This was Chris' first Father's Day! This past weekend we celebrated with Chris' mom and dad with dinner at a local steakhouse on Saturday night. It is Chris' favorite steakhouse in the whole world and he throughly enjoyed his massive porterhouse steak! On Sunday we celebrated with my dad at Outback. The whole family was there and we really had a good time. Claire and I got Chris a gift card to get some new sunglasses. (Something he really needed since he sat on and broke his other ones!)
Claire and I are both so thankful for Chris. He is such a wonderful Dad and is so involved in every aspect of raising Claire. He has been especially wonderful lately as he is keeping Claire twice a week since I started back to work. I really don't know what I would do without him!
We love you Chris/Dad!!
This week Claire went to her first movie. Farrah and Baxley spent the day with us on Tuesday and we all went to see Kung Fu Panda. Baxley was totally mesmerized by the movie. Claire watched the first half hour and then took a nice nap.
This past Sunday, Claire finally got to wear her RED SHOES! Until now, she has really been too small to fit into any of her shoes. But this Sunday, she finally fit into her Red Patent Leather shoes. As you can see in this picture she is especially excited to be wearing them! Every girl needs a pair of red shoes!
Yesterday, Claire and I met Kelli for lunch at one of my favorite places. Kelli's schedule is pretty light this summer and of course Claire and I are always ready to get out of the house, so we decided to plan a lunch date. After we finished lunch we went back to Kelli's apartment and ichatted with Kasey and Brooks. This was such a treat for us, becasue we don't get to see them very much. Brooks was so handsome, Claire was already flirting with him! If Kasey and I have anything to do with it, these two will end up married!! Thanks "Aunt" Kelli for such a fun day!!!
Claire is 3 months old today! I can hardly believe three months have already passed. We cannot imagine life without her. She is cooing and laughing all the time now and is really getting a little bit of a personallity. She can roll over from her back to her stomach and is sleeping in her crib now. We are so proud!! ;)
Here are a couple of pictures to show how much she had grown in 3 months.
