Clara is 1 month old!

Clara had her 1 month appointment yesterday. She weighed 10 lbs 8 oz and was 20.75 inches. That puts her weight in the 90th %, her height at 50%, and her head was in the 75th % (but I can't recall the measurement). The doctor also said that she was extremely alert and observant, really looking at things and focusing like a 2 month old! So yes, she is a genius!

We have also learned the Clara is much happier sprawled out on her play gym than swaddled in her bear chair to sleep. Now that we have given up on the cozy chair swing and just let her hang out on the flat (yet cushioned) floor, she falls alsleep much faster. Perhaps she doesn't want to believe she is a newborn and wants to skip right to baby? Last night she was perfectly happy in her sleep sack... and she let me sleep from 10pm to 4am!
