People weren’t joking when they say children grow fast! It feels like just yesterday that we were bringing Claire home from the hospital. Today is my sweet daughter’s one month birthday and she’s currently celebrating by sleeping in her swing.

This past week Claire had her first “real” bath - a much better experience for all! She loves the warm water and gazes at us with her big blue eyes. She also took a shopping trip with Mommy and Daddy and managed to poop out of her diaper not once, but TWICE. We quickly learned that cleaning a baby, car seat, and stroller all in a stinky family bathroom is an adventure to say the least!

Claire is going through a growth spurt this week and wants to eat 24/7! She is practically starving 2 hours after her last feeding and lets us know about it! Due to her constant eating, we’ve moved her back into the bassinet for a bit, but we’re hoping it won’t last long and the 3-4 hour sleep stretches will be back soon.

Below are two pictures taken this morning to mark her special day. The first is my favorite - I caught her right as she was spitting up, a talent she has perfected and seems to enjoy.
