helmet head

Well, looks like baby sis has to wear a helmet after all.  Here she was getting scanned for the helmet.  They said I have to buzz her hair!  :(  I am going to beg them not to make me.  But, I guess we'll do what we gotta do to get her flat head in check.  They also said she'll be wearing it for about 3 months... could be less, could be more.  And, she has to wear it 23 hours/day!  Should be interesting!    
 She just sat there and let them go to work on her little head.  Sweet girl.
 And she has started baby food!  Of course she loved it.  So far we've tried rice cereal and squash.  Both a success.  I peeked in her mouth the other day and noticed her 2 lower teeth poking through!  Just over 4 months... this seems really early to me!  And she hasn't even been fussy.
Sweetest girl ever!

Claire at 4 months

Holy chubba!  Claire officially weighs as much as Davis weighed at 6 months old.  This happy girl is tipping the scales at 19 lbs 4 ounces.  She is off the charts for weight and height (26").  She continues to be the happiest baby ever, still the best sleeper, and is giggling and squealing left and right.  She really is the sweetest girl!
And that dimple... I just can't stand it!
 
 
This poor girl's back of her head is pretty darn flat, so I have to take her to a specialist soon to see if she will require wearing a helmet to fix the shape.  Third baby has spent too much time lying on her back while I take care of the rest of the household.  Kinda feeling like a bad mom, but what can I do?  I have two wild boys!  Oh well... hopefully we'll get it taken care of.  And Claire could totally rock the helmet head if need be.  :)

Here are our last minute Halloween costumes at the ward trunk or treat.  I had a silly Swat costume for Noah, but of course he wanted to be this ridiculous spiderman that he convinced my mom to buy for him when she was in town the week before.  Davis was going to wear Noah's shark costume from a couple years ago, but he was afraid of it.  And Claire doesn't get a costume this year.  Maybe next year we'll get creative and think about it before the day of.  I always just hate spending money on a costume that they're going to wear for one day, especially for an infant.  Oh well, next year... next year...
 Last weekend we took the whole gang to a Miami Heat game.  We definitely did not fit in with the crowd, and it was pretty crazy with all three little kiddos, but Noah had a good time.
 
 Davis and Claire were scared to death of how loud it was at first, but I finally got Claire to fall asleep, and Davis got into the game once it started.  Davis also managed to spill my ridiculously overpriced dinner all over us, so we smelled like salsa and onions for the rest of the night.  I think the people around us thought we were crazy, or had a kick out of watching Grant and I corral the kids within our seats.
 
 It will definitely be something to remember.  :)
