I still have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to Claire's baby days! Here are a few more pictures and stories of what it was like when Claire was an itty bitty baby...
In April our shower leaked into our kitchen for about the billionth time. We decided to redo not only the shower, but the entire bathroom. Jeff, his dad, Ron, Thomas, and Matthew (even though it was like 2 days before his and Alexe's wedding!) all came and helped out when they could. Our house was a disaster, so Claire and I went to stay at Ann and Don's. Claire was still pretty difficult at this point, but was starting to become a little more relaxed and easy going. She was also starting to smile and show happiness much more often!
Claire loved to watch Baby Einstein DVDs. I didn't love sticking my infant daughter in front of the tv at such an early age and felt bad doing it, but many days it was the only thing that calmed her down and gave us some peace. Note the little holes in the bouncy seat frame by her knees. Yeah, they were for a toy bar that lit up and played music and was supposed to keep her attention. A toy bar just wasn't going to cut it with Claire!
Our little peanut had good head control from an early age, but was too short for her exersaucer. Nothin' a pack of copy paper couldn't fix!

Check out how big our girl is getting! She was really at the tail-end of the fussiness by this point, though it was still another month before she was truly pleasant to be around all of the time!
Cutest. Baby Girl. Ever. Disagree...I dare you.
Blurry, but her first taste of rice cereal.
Success!

In case you needed more convincing that she was the cutest baby girl ever.
Someone likes her sweet potatoes! And check out that bald head...poor girl literally didn't have so much as one hair on her head when she was 5 months old. A little teensy bit of peach fuzz, but that was it for months and months!
I could be all profound, but I've got nothing. So, until next time...
