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.
In other Sam news, he’s a very vocal baby. J calls him loud, because he is constantly grunting, snorting, straining and cooing, even in his sleep. He’s starting to coo at us, which is about the sweetest sound ever. We’re also starting to see more smiles, generally around eating, but they are a sight to behold. More pictures coming soon.
Clare and Sam in matching pajamas! Clare was nice enough to share her blankie with Sam as well, which is a very nice gesture for her.
