Claire's first laugh!

Hard to believe Claire is already 15 weeks old. Where has the time gone? She is so much fun now. She has really started to babble lots and smiles all the time. We have been blessed with one of the best babies ever. She usually goes to bed around 7:30 or 8pm, gets up around 1 or 2am to eat and again around 5 or 6am to eat. She usually sleeps until 8 or 9am (sometimes even until 10am but only on days when Jeff is home with her!). She has been taking two to three naps during the day but only for 40-50 minutes each. I do not have any problem with that though since she sleeps so well at night.

We got to hear Claire laugh for the first time today. I was playing with her on my lap and making noises with her hands and she started to laugh! It was so amazing and awesome to hear her laughing! We cannot wait to hear more of this as she continues to grow.

The first two days with the nanny went very well. I thought for a while that we might have to look for another new nanny because Emily came for the second day and told Jeff she thinks she might have allergies to cats! I was so stressed and bummed because Emily seems to be a good fit for us. However, she had taken allergy medication and was willing to try another day. The second day went well and she said she would like to continue to watch Claire...thank God! I was not looking forward to trying to find yet another nanny to watch my baby.

We are still waiting to hear on the house. It turns out we can put in a pool, now we just have to wait for the final paperwork and a closing date. Hope you enjoy the pictures and thank you whoever it was (the ONE person) that voted for Claire looking like me...I know it was a sympathy vote but I appreciate it!
