4 Weeks Old

It is hard to believe our little Clara is already 4 weeks old! I guess time really runs together when you are sleep deprived! We have been really blessed with great friends who have been making the transition easier by bringing us dinner. It has been delicious and extremely helpful. I am doing my best at typing with one hand (Clara in the other), but cooking with one hand would be harder-so thank you!!!

Here are some of the milestones (if you will) that Clara has accomplished this week. 1. She is eating (a lot)
2. Gained 2 pounds (now weighing in at 10 pounds even)
3. Grunts (a lot)
4. Sometimes lets out a distressed whimper that sounds sooo sad!
5. Started taking a pacifier (because she was eating too much-Doctor's orders)
6. Started dieting...approx 5 min on each side instead of 10 due to the "see-food diet" she inherited from mom. She eats too much and then spits it up...but no,I'm NOT bulemic.
7. She has had her first studio movie grill experience (I know we are crazy)

um...I know there are more sweet thing she is doing, but I can't think...it's 5a.m.
So, here are some pics to show what she's been up to.

sleeping is such hard work. "mom, no more pictures-PLEASE!!!!"


First time at church...2 weeks old. she slept through the sermon (sorry Chris). She even took her Bible!

wanna guess what she's thinking??

Aunt Jessie and Uncle Clay came by to keep me company while Jason was out of town for two nights for the staff retreat. Did I mention he was gone the night the tornado sirens went off in FB? This headband was a gift from Bonnie's Orchestra teacher. The flower is almost bigger than her head. We had to try it on though!






I will post a video of Clara thumping her leg later today. It's really funny. Have a blessed day!
