Claire - 4 Months - Week 1

This was a week of milestones: Claire turned four months old last Friday, her first trip to Mimi and Grandaddy's in Fairhope, her first Halloween, and Monday was the one year anniversary of finding out that Claire was on her way. On Friday, we set out for Fairhope and Claire did pretty well in the car. After we arrived, I handed Claire off to her Grandaddy while Tim and I unpacked the car. When we got in the house, Claire was smiling but that quickly turned into a wail. I had noticed that Claire was becoming more sensitive. I should have done a better job at introducing her to the new surroundings. She has become much more aware of her environment recently and knows when something is different. Between that and the teething, she was out of sorts all weekend but we had a great time. We got to go see where Mimi works and got to meet her co-worker Molly. I forgot to take the camera so we didn't get a picture of her with Molly. Saturday, we went to visit Aunt Jessica where she works, Tuskers Furniture in Mobile. The store was really nice and Tim and I wanted to shop for some furniture but Claire had a bad episode with her teething while we were there so once again, no picture and no furniture. We laid low the rest of Saturday and spent our time at Mimi's and Grandaddy's. They had a lot of trick-or-treaters so it was fun to see them all parade in and out in their costumes. Sunday, we dropped in to see Mimi at the end of church so Claire could meet Mimi's choir-mates but we got there a bit late and Clarie was once again having problems with her teething. We had a really nice dinner that evening with Stephen and Jessica and Patrick. Chase was in Houston training for his new job. Monday we came home and today we are going to see the doctor for her four month check-up. Here are the pictures from her week:

Claire is wearing the dress Mimi bought her the day we found out we were expecting a girl.

Spending time with Aunt Jessica while sitting on Noah's head! I imagine that will be a common occurence once he arrives.

Uncle Beau was so concerned about her crying this weekend. He was also a bit upset that he was no longer the baby and the center of attention. Poor puppy!
