The sleeves and length of many outfits are getting way too short. Claire is one LOOONG baby! She has so many cute clothes in these sizes, I will be so so sad when she out grows them. I also don’t have very many outfits in the next size up.

Health:

So far Claire has been in perfect health and that is something we are so grateful for. Over Christmas I came down with a little cold and I was so careful to not to give it to Claire. At 6 weeks we did take her in to the doctor because she was extremely fussy. We had several nights where from the hours of 10-2 Claire would just scream and scream. It was so hard! It seemed more intense then her normal cry so I thought something more might be wrong. We took her into the pediatrician and he prescribed her some medicine for reflux. He also told us to get probiotics. He assured us that colic peaks at 6 weeks and that it would pass. We found that after a few weeks of using the probiotics and medicine that Claire stopped the crazy screaming at night and seemed more at ease. It was a huge relief to finally get some sleep. Since that 6^th week things have been a lot better in terms of her temperament.

During her second month Claire also got her vaccinations. It was honestly such a traumatic experience for both of us. I had been dreading it for weeks. It was so sad to be standing over Claire holding her arms down just looking up to me so helpless and then experiencing pain! It made me so sad to watch her go through that. I may have shed a quiet little tear or two! :(
