Clara's first few weeks...





Clara has been growing like a weed... today she weighed in at 9 pounds, after going down to 8lbs and 3oz within a few days of being born. Her belly button is almost healed. And she is eating a lot... almost 4oz at every meal! She loves to be held, which we do often. She isn't really in to the pacifier, though I wish she would be, so she could work on her "self soothing." Her lungs are powerful for such a tiny thing, but she doesn't cry unless she is hungry or wants to be held. Lucky for us, she doesn't seem to be cursed with "colic." She's just a totally normal baby and every day I am just so happy to gaze into her big dark blue eyes. We are dreaming big things for this little girl... and like to tease that she is going to be the "bookish" one, while Kensie will be the "fun" one. But, only time will tell... I'll be happy if they both just turn out to be good people who enjoy life and have common sense and a good attitude.
