Laowai

Well here we are four months old. Wow.

It’s feeling Fallish. I can feel the warmth from our heated floors and it feels good. We had the biggest glowing Maxfield Parish style clouds all day. It’s the first day in over a month that it’s been just me and my girls. We had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa C., but now I do feel like settling into a routine and enjoying our first Fall in Switzerland.

Claire is a bundle of cuddle. If only I could just sit around and snuggle her all day long. She is all about putting her fists and her fingers in her mouth (drool galore). She is loving facing out when I hold her. I watch her bright eyes tracking everything that passes in front of her. She was very good on all the day-trips we took with Grandma and Grandpa. In fact she was better when we were out and around street noise than she was when we were home with quiet surrounding her. She smiles easily and giggles for us now and then. She is looking huge to me – chubby, chubby, chubby everywhere. And she gave Grandma and Grandpa C. a good send off when she performed multiple roll-overs the night before they left. She kept rolling over and then getting a little angry on her tummy. So we’d roll her back over and she would immediately roll back to her tummy. Grandma and Grandpa were so sweet – she had her own little cheering section. And now as I type this she is having her first night on her tummy. She got stuck with her elbows under her a couple times but now she seems to have completely flipped and she looks comfy.

 

I could take this age for a while longer – please just slow down little one – please.

Here are my two girls at four months (I’m still finding that phrase “my two girls” a novelty).
