Baby's First Christmas

I'm so thankful for the many gifts sent to Claire by our family. She loves her SillyTown from Nani and Pop and I love reading to her from her Bible from Mimi. I also used her Christmas money from Poppa and GB to get her some MUCH NEEDED warm footed sleepers.
This child continues to astound me with her growth. We are rapidly approaching 9 month clothing even though she is not quite 5 months yet. She is already in 9 month pants and possibly moving to size 3 diapers soon. I keep expecting her to slow down, but so far it just seems she eats more and more and grows faster and faster. I decided to start her on cereal (which will be the next video posted) thinking this might slow down her eating desire, but she remains as hungry as ever. And boy does the child like cereal! I have a feeling that this child will not meet a food she doesn't like; luckily she appears to be coupling that with her daddy's good metabolism. Speaking of which, let me just say that b*reast feeding has been really good to me - I continue to drop the weight and inches with very little effort. Of course, despite the fact that I eat constantly, I'm starving all the time, but who can complain when it's for such a good cause. I do wish my nearly 5 month old would stop wanting to nurse every hour during the daytime, but I love the fact that she goes all night without needing me to wake to feed her.
