We've been having so much fun with Baby Claire! One night Robert called me over to show me the new hairstyle he gave her to match the gang signs she's been flashing.
On Monday, she got her first bath. You would have thought we were torturing her.
But after it was over, she looked so cute in her ducky hooded towel!
Grandma Pat stayed through Tuesday. All of the girls cried when she left, but we were so fortunate that Grandma Nancy could come in the same day to help out. Robert started back to work on Monday, and while he's not working a full schedule, I'm so grateful for the extra set of hands around the house while he is gone!
A few facts about Claire:
- She doesn't seem to enjoy being swaddled - she likes to have her hands free. I'm so glad that we discovered Sleep Sacks! They keep her warm and cozy.
- Claire loves to sleep during the day, and does pretty good at night. We're waking her up a couple of times at night for feedings. She typically only needs someone to get up with her one other time.
- She loves to snuggle and so far has been fairly easy to soothe. One of the lactation consultants in the hospital commented a couple of times that Claire is very even-tempered. We hope that sticks!
- While she has trouble with the latch for nursing, she loves to eat and isn't too picky about the temperature of her meals and switches easily between formula and breast milk.
- Every day she seems more alert and interested in what is going on around her.
