Four Weeks Old
This little beauty is four weeks old today! I took this picture yesterday after getting her dressed up for church for the first time. Isn't she adorable? (The dress came from G'ma Webre and I think it has got to be pretty ancient but still so cute!)
At this stage of life Clara likes to sleep a lot, eat about every three hours, and poop about every three minutes. She's been bothered lately in the evenings with gas pains. She does not hardly spit up at all (except when she vomits occasionally). She has already discovered her tongue and she'll stick it out at us sometimes. We've noticed dimples when she smiles the right way and we enjoy all of the other many faces she pulls, especially her stink eye. We are working on protecting that cute little face from her fingernails, as she is always grabbing and scratching her face (she has an incredibly strong grip, too!). She weighs about 9.5 pounds. You can't see very well in this picture but she still has a good head of hair that stands straight up. I think she actually enjoyed her last bath. She didn't cry until we took her out to towel her off. She likes to be swaddled and sleeps for 4-5 hours at a time during the night. I usually only have to get up with her once (but sometimes she stays up for one to one and a half hours. She does like to be held when she is awake. She has a sweet, peaceful spirit and we are so blessed to have her in our home!
To sum it all up, we like her. We're going to keep her.
