Make way for the Princess!

It occurs to me that Big Brother has gotten more air time than his sister this month, so it’s time to even things out with some pictures of Claire!

Of course, it’s hard to get a good shot when head control is still developing – “C’mon, baby Claire – look at mommy!”

Or when this happens – oops! That, my friends, is a milk beard. 🙂
Look at that belly!

Ahh, here she is – our Princess, a.k.a. “Bright Eyes”,
“Bugg-eyed Princess”
“Doodles”
“Doodle Bug”
“Darlin”
or
“Daddy’s Girl”.

She had her 6 week check up today…at 8 weeks. 🙂 She is wonderful – charmed everyone. We were assured not to worry about her spitting because she is gaining weight well and is not miserable about it. The spitting has actually seemed to lessen a bit this week – she averages 2 outfits a day instead of 5-6! She is very alert and loves to watch what is going on around her. She notices noises and people’s voices, and responds with little coos – we just know she is going to be an early talker. She has started bequeathing smiles on her loyal subjects, which of course brightens their day exceedlingly. She already sleeps 6-7 hours at night – better than Jesse did for months, for which I am grateful. All in all, Claire is a lovely addition to our family and our lives.
