Flora June Blair had her four-month well checkup at the pediatrician today. Four months? I continue to be shocked at how quickly time is passing. The picture above was taken this morning — she is such a joy! Here’s a fun fact about June: When being carried, she has preferred facing outward since she was born. She is very curious and likes to see what’s going on at all times.
I have loved keeping June in simple onesies for the summer. Isn’t this one above adorable? It’s made by My Three Sons and has a number 6 because June is 6th in line. But the air has been crisp the last few days. Time to pull out more options for layering. (Mmmm. I love fall clothes.)
P.S. — Have you noticed that getting immunizations never gets any easier? June was giggly and happy and flirting with the nurse. Then the needle went in and her face instantly changed to complete terror and pain. Awful!

your baby is beautiful and i agree, shots are the worst! they hurt me more than them to see them in such pain :(
My Oliver had his 15 month shots today, too, and I had the very same thought. It never gets easier. (He’s my 5th.) You’d think we’d get used to it, but it just feels so mean — EVERY SINGLE TIME. So sorry little June!
:)
oh my gosh Gabby she is so so darling! i love the moment you caught– those squirmy, smiley hours they spend when you can just see them taking it all in! what a loved little girl she is!
Your imagination is spectacular..
Love you, June. Sorry about the mean shot.
No, don’t need another! Resist wanting a girl! Too much cute!
(My 16m Joseph takes a similar look at the world … if riding in a shopping cart, he turns to look where we are going instead of watching what is behind us.)
Such a cute baby and such a cute onesie!
I do not like seeing my babies get shots- not when they are four months old and not when they are nine years old (that’s as far as my experiences go!)
Happy four month BIRTH day to you!
She is so adorable. Shots are the worst. I don’t know what is worse that baby face that looks shocked at you or my 14 year old who still insisted on squeezing my hand.
What a doll! That shot really captures her engaged-ness. (I’m sure there’s a better word for what I’m trying to say, but it’s late and that’s the best I can come up with.)
awww, she has plumped up a bit :) What a cutie. Love that age..
Shots never seem to get easier… on the kids nor on the grown ups !
What a cheery sight! I am a fan of the simple onesie too. That 6 is also a numerical representation of her name! I love it. (That picture makes me almost as happy as coming home after my first day back at work…which was today!)
Did you name her June because it is the 6th month of the year?
Oh my! She is a cutie! Her expression comes full force out of the picture! She’s a beaut!
She’s such a doll Gabi! Those blue eyes are just gorgeous. Thanks :)
Wow has it been four months
Oh my, she is absolutely adorable!
Wowza! She is so (I was going to say adorable and I see that the person just above me said adorable. You may have to wait, while I think of another word…) yummy. I want to eat her! She’s getting some chub in those cheeks. Time goes by too fast. I’m working all the time on Touchpoint for Kelly @ Startup Princess and I look at my babies on the floor and think, “I’ve got to stop working like this and love my babies while they are little!”
Oh My Goodness! I could just eat her up with a big old spoon! So stinkin cute!
Kiss that sweet baby girl for me! Love Love Love that you share her with the world!
Blessings,
Holli
she is stunning. seriously. i just adore her and the bright fruity colors are perfect. so fun, fresh and inspiring!! i don’t know you guys but i somehow just love little Flora Junebug!!
always love your blog btw…just had baby #3 (2 girls 4 + 6 and now a boy) one week ago. had to catch up on what you’re saying — always looking to you for inspiration :) and so glad i discovered you about a year ago :)
I literally teared up at my son’s last check-up/immunizations. (Better check the schedule, there might be more on Friday. ) :-(
She’s adorable! Cute onesie!
congrats, she is so cute!
yes, time passes by so quickly. i can’t beleive my daughter is already 13 months….
June is such a pretty baby! Thanks for sharing her cuteness with us!
And probably throw in some betrayal, too — my kids always have a look of utter betrayal. It’s awful and sickening. Hopefully she’s much better and back to her happy self! Adorable onesie & photo — wow how she’s grown!!
She’s looking so big! 4 months already, wonderfully beautiful :)
I agree shots of any kind never get easier, especially for us Mommas.
Oh, that perfect little mouth and clear, pretty eyes! She just has that full-o-life look about her!
What a LOVE. Happy 4 months June, mama, and the whole Blair clan!
She is just so beautiful! I can’t believe it’s been 4 months already!!
What a cutie!
what a sweety sweety pie! So beautiful!
My little daughter is the same age as yours + has HATED facing inward in the carrier since day one too…and immunizations are the worst, you are correct : (
Stop the presses. Holy moses that child is too cute for words!
I cry every single time my kiddo gets shots. Of course, I also cry singing happy birthday at other kid’s birthday parties because it is all so sweet.
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful blond baby! I just want to pinch those fatty legs:)
oh man – she’s beautiful!!
Hooray for June! Love her onesie, too!!
She truly is a little ‘doll’. Just perfect in every way! Have you tried nursing during the shots? It helps a little. Depends on which ones she’s getting and how much they hurt, but at least there’s a satisfying distraction!
June’s smile brightened my morning. So glad I clicked in on you today.
Happy 4 months to your lovely (and you!)
Four months is my favorite age! They stay where you put them, stay relatively clean and all you have to do is get in their field of vision and you get a smile. Your baby is four months, and my baby just left for college in Hawaii. Time flies!
Those first jabs are so hard to deal with, for baby and mama. When Luca had his first, I cried more than him!
Ruby just says “Don’t want it” now… smart cookie!
June is such a cutie.
Oh my…..she is absolutely beautiful!
June is so gorgeous! And HAPPY!
It does not get easier though, I’m afraid. We went to the doctor yesterday for the well check for school (no shots even), and Beatrix was SO SCARED she was shaking. Teeth chattering. This went on, tears streamed down her face, she was begging me to leave, and then it happened. Projectile vomit all over herself and me.
She must just remember getting shots but the last ones were a while ago. I’m so sad she’s traumatized– our doctor is so sweet.
You know what cheered her up? Going to Target afterwards.
Goodness. She is a doll. I can’t believe it’s already been four months. They grow so fast.
She is seriously getting cuter and cuter! What a pretty little girl. And yes- immunizations are no fun. (Though my daughter is more of a trouper than my son ever was… is it true about women tolerating more pain than men? I guess we’ll see…) :) Have a great day!
Wow, this picture totally gave me hope today. I am due with #4 in 3 weeks, and not sure if that day will ever come. Her little face makes me want to see what this one of mine looks like. She is darling!! Thanks for the lift you gave me today without even knowing it.
She is adorable!! Thanks for sharing how she is growing with us.
I hated immunizations, too. I would dread the doctor’s appointment a whole week before we had to go, because of their expression when they got that shot. My twins are 16 months now; so when the first one gets the shot, the second knows what’s coming. I don’t know if that is worse! Aren’t you glad it’s over?
What a cutie! I can’t believe it has been 4 months! My, time sure does fly!!!
I just realized that June is the sixth month too! Very clever if you were thinking about that.
Onesies are great! Keep little June warm with Baby Legs. (www.babylegs.com) My little darling wears them with her dresses to keep her chubby little legs warm this time of year. :) BTW, she’s beautiful!
She is too cute! You have a beautiful family!
she’s getting so big! funny how she already looks so much like her siblings :] so, so adorable!
happy 4 months, June!
Awe! I love the update. Adorable….and no vaccines are never easy. I sometimes cry too.
When I brought my daughter to the doctor for her one year check up; she was scared of the doctor, and the nurses. When they came in to give her her shots, she was screeching so loud. When the needles went in, her voice didn’t even change an octave. It was loud, and I was holding her. It was a sad, yet slightly humorous situation. As soon as everyone went out, she was fine and didn’t even act like she was in pain. What a set of lungs:) Fortunatley they bounce back very quickly!
She’s really such a gorgeous baby! So cuuuuuuuute. My little one would only be carried facing outward. She was (and is) such a curious one. In my circle, I would see the moms with sweet little babies snuggled into their chests in an Ergo or sling. My daughter would not have it–she’d be craning her neck to see just what’s going on!
Little girls are the BEST!
I thought the 6 was because June was the 6th month also. Is that how you picked the name??
Happy 4 months adorable June!
Poor June! She looks so darling in that onesie, and she’s growing so fast! I am taking my little 2 month old guy for his first shots tomorrow morning – eek! Wish me luck :)
gwah (that’s a cute sound i guess), june is such a cutie! loving the onesie with “6″ on it!!
what a darling! babies in onesies are the sweetest.
and it’s true, immunizations are so hard. we just did our one-year set and I swear it breaks my heart every time!
She’s adorable! Just 11 days older than Ava. Hate that shot moment. But thankfully they forget within 20 seconds! xxx
Oh my goodness she is to die for!
I love to look at her beautiful face and melt by her smile, what a lovely baby!!!
She is the sweetest thing ever. I love this age! That onesie is darling as well.
Mmm… fall clothes. I can’t hardly wait. Here in Texas we have to wait until November. Ick!
Another cutie! No wonder you have 6 – they’re all so darn adorable! : )
I always feel bad for the nurses that have to give the shots. They’re always stuck with the mean work.
She is so sweet!
I hear you on immunizations. Our 18-month-old just got one today…and I always feel like *I’m* getting them at the same time!
I’ve enjoyed your blog for about a year now; nice work. Whitley, my first, was born 5/5/10. Shots are pretty bad…I’ve found breastfeeding right after has worked well to calm him. I just ask the nurse if there anyone needs the room; usually we can hang out adn nurse a few minutes.
