Three-Ring Circus
Other notable changes around here include Clare’s graduation from a crib to a big girl bed. It happened in dramatic fashion with a bang and a scream while she was supposed to be napping, fortunately without injury, and has been a bumpy transition. Clare loves being able to get out of bed, and we always have at least one if not multiple reminders for her to get back into bed before she actually goes to sleep. On one nap I crept in to find her sleeping like this, having pulled her name train and her little animals into bed with her. On other “naps” and “bed times” we’ve found her reading on her floor a full hour and a half after bed time, jumping around in her grass skirt, or playing in her closet.
Sam’s big news is his incredible growth. I’m pretty sure that my prenatal vitamins actually include some type of growth steroids given the way this kid is growing. The outfit above is a 3 month size and it barely fits him. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about putting my two-month old in six-month size clothing, but it looks like I may have to get used to it. He’s awfully cute though – I mean, just look at that little belly! He gets a little muffin top over his diaper.
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
The trees we chose were particularly large, so we all got a big laugh out of watching J and my dad try to fit them into the back of the truck. We ultimately paid a little extra to have the trees wrapped up so that they fit.
