The Parkers: January 2009

Well, since I only seem to do an update about once a month, here's the 5 month update! Claire has started packing on the pounds finally, and at 5 months is up to about 13 1/2 lbs, and probably around 25.5". Still smaller than your average 5 month old, but she's starting to catch up! She has started consistently rolling over, mostly from her back to her belly. The problem is, Claire has always hated being on her belly, and clearly still hates it, as she gets on her belly and starts screaming about 20 seconds later. You'd think she'd learn how to roll back onto her back, but she hasn't completely mastered that one yet. She's also starting to get more giggly and chatty, and gets more and more fun every day!

Not a lot really going on this month..... Claire did get to see her first snowfall, unfortunately it wasn't enough to keep mommy and daddy home from work the next day. Then the next week it was back into the upper 50's.... crazy weather here. We went out to dinner yesterday with Aunt Kate, which was fun, and Claire and I did a bit of shopping. Mostly window shopping, but we got some fabric to make Claire a Valentine's dress. Yep, mommy is still crazy about making Claire's clothes. We're going up to Chattanooga this weekend to visit Nana and G-Daddy, so we may do a little bit of "real" shopping then!

Like I said, not a lot going on.... so here are some pictures! That's what everyone wants anyway.
