I have a friend whose 2-year-old girl has looked exactly the same since birth. Of course, there are telltale signs of growth such a longer hair and the presence of teeth, but every time I see the little girl she just looks like a bigger and longer version of herself as an infant. (And her parents agree with me.) Then there are babies like Claire who look different day to day. She has changed so much since birth, and still continues to transform that sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to recognize her in pictures years down the road. One day old 1.5 months old 3 months old Even now, she looks completely different on different days as you can see in these photos...

Ever since Claire first started teething I have been examining her mouth and gums with care every morning. Well, last night she woke up at 3am and refused to go back to sleep. J stayed up to take care of her until 7am when I took over so that he can get in a power nap before work. Then my breakdown happened. So my usual morning routine was a bit off...
