11 weeks old

Clara has been doing so good this week holding up her head. She looks like such a big girl. She has started napping in her crib some and now goes down for the night at 9 every night. We are slowly working on getting her on a schedule since next week is my last full week with her. Going back to work is going to be sooo hard.

Clara has found her hands!

Yesterday Clara figured out how to intentionally put her fist in her mouth. It's too adorable and now she keeps her fist in her mouth all the time.

Clara is 2 months old!!

Clara is two months old today, I can hardly believe it! She has grown so fast! Clara is smiling all the time now, especially in the mornings and she makes all kinds of cooing and happy noises. Her favorite thing to do right now is take a bath. She often cries when we take her out of the bathtub. She also loves being outside in her stroller or in the baby carrier. She even helps Brian mow the grass in her carrier. Last Friday she got her first round of shots and did really well, only crying for a short time. That night we were worried about her being up a lot and fussy but she slept from 11PM to 5:30AM, the longest she has ever slept. Most nights she sleeps one 4-5 hour stretch followed by a 3 hour stretch. She is still sleeping in the pack and play in our room next to the bed. Its really nice in the middle of the night to not even have to get out of bed to feed her. Most of the time Clara is a really happy baby. She still gets a little colicky in the evenings and has a hard time calming down but its usually because she has gotten too tired. Below is Clara's two month picture with Mr. Bunny. I had to take about 50 pictures before I could get one without her hands and legs flailing in the air. At her two month checkup today she weighed 10.4lbs and and was 24 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and the 75th percentile for height.
