Claire's Second Week

Tuesday, April 22nd - Two weeks old!

Claire had her 2 week appointment with Dr. Neely on Thursday. She's almost back to her birth weight - she weighed 7 lbs. & 7.5 oz. (25th percentile), has grown 3/4 of an inch to 20 inches (also 25th percentile), and has a head circumference in the 50th percentile. She also got her Hepatitis B shot - Claire and Mommy both cried. :) Fortunately Grandma Patty was there to console us both. We're so blessed to have a healthy baby!






Claire's second week was a busy one! It's been amazing to see how much she changed in just a week. She's so much more alert and seems to get stronger every day. The week started off with a handoff between the grandmothers. Robert's mom stayed with us until Friday to help out. While she was here, Claire got to go to Fish City Grill & Corner Bakery.

On Saturday, we all went to Arlington to visit Robert's grandparents (both sets) and dad. She finally got to wear one of her cute dresses - girl clothes are so fun!

Claire spent a lot of the week sleeping. She likes to have her arms free - we frequently find her in this position...

Trying to capture a smile (I know it's probably just gas, but it's so cute!)

Grandma Patty and Granddaddy Darwin came back on Sunday. Dad stayed a couple of days, and Mom was here for the week and was so much help! Claire likes to sleep in her arms.
