Claire's 4 month update

Out little smiler is already 4 months, well, actually she's getting close to 5 by now but that's just b/c I am not so good at updating lately. She weighed 13.4 lbs. at her checkup and is in the 25-50% and she was only in the 10th for height, but I don't remember the measurement. We make short kids, that's a fact! She's doing wonderful...sleeping a ton...about 20 hours a day...can't ask for anything better than that. She is super happy when she is awake (who wouldn't be after all that sleep) and is becoming more and more social. She just laughs and smiles at her big brother all the time! She is rolling a ton from her belly to her back but can't get back to her belly again. She will be on the move soon but I'm not rushing it! Here is her 4 month pic with her puppy dog and then just some others over the past couple weeks.

If you can't tell, she has a little pony tail in the above pic! :)

I guess Carson deserves a little update as well. He is a NON STOP talker...oh man...it's so fun and brings about a lot of laughter! He has become SO independent saying "my do it, my do it" all the time but of course we try to explain to him that he doesn't ALWAYS get to do it! He is very particular and organized and has the most amazing memory. He LOVES music, especially Veggie Tales....he knows many of their songs by heart and watching him sing along is hysterical! He just ADORES his little sister...he has started to TRY to wrestle with her some but of course that's a big no no! Life is busy in our home but life is good.
