I know we're behind on posting pics, but that's pretty much Paul's department. ;) He has the fancy software to make sure the colors and lighting are accurate and whatnot....I don't know the first thing about how to work it. So I'll just update stats, which we haven't done in a while either.

At Claire's 4 month appointment (which was really at about 4 months and a week or so), she was 14 lbs 7 oz and 25 1/2 inches. She didn't have a 5 month appointment, but we weighed her at home, and she was 16 lbs even. Yesterday at her 6 month appointment, she was 17 lbs 8 oz and supposedly 27 1/4 inches, though I'm pretty sure she wiggled when she was measured, so it's probably more like 27 inches.

She's also fighting an icky cold. :(

She's been sitting up unassisted since Christmas day, and she's currently trying very hard to crawl. She can get up on her hands and knees, but then she mostly just rocks back and forth or slides backwards. She did get a little forward motion yesterday though. So we'll be double checking all the babyproofing again. :)

We had taken these back on the 23rd, but I'm only just getting these out now. She can now sit up on her own semi-reliably as apparently grampa just showed her the trick to it on Christmas day. In these pictures she's having to lay down on her belly, but next session we'll probably be showing off some first class sitting from her.

There's a couple others but this is what I've got ready to go for now.

Alright, gave it another whirl with her in a better mood and I had a lot more non-grumpy pictures to pick from.

Claire turns 4 months old tomorrow, so it's officially picture time again. Once again this was started way too late in the day and grumpyness quickly took over. I did manage to get a few decent ones between the grumps though.

Oh yeah, she can roll over from back to front now. She usually gets caught up on her arm, but her skill at rolling is increasing by the day.
