Clara Five Months

 
Clara is five months old today and I really feel like time is flying by so fast. She's already sitting up pretty well with the help of a pillow behind her and playing with her new toys from Santa like crazy. Breastfeeding is still going strong - every 3ish hours during the day and once a night except the last two weeks when Andrea was off. Clara was sleeping through the night 7-7 without waking up at all and just when the Christmas break was winding down, she started waking up again once for a feed. It's funny, almost like she knew we were on holiday. 

I'm thinking about starting solids some time this month since she's starting to show signs of being ready plus she is really liking sitting in her high chair. Amelie now sits at the big table with us or at her little kid table for meals. I love having two little girls, it's the best. I can't wait for them to start playing together! Happy 5 months Clara! 


 
^^When I try to get them to smile - haha.

After 2+ weeks of family time, it's back to the regular schedule with a blog post on Clara soon if the girls will stay napping a little longer.
