At 2 Months

Well, she's been 2 months for a little while, but here's what we know about our Clara:

She's still my little tiny.  She was 11 1/2 lbs. and 23 inches last week.  Her receding hairline is growing back in and appears to be brown.  She has bright blue eyes, a button nose, and the Serr mouth.

Her smiles come easily and frequently.  She smiles when I get her out of her crib, when I feed her, when anyone holds her or looks at her or talks to her.  She tries to laugh, but can't quite get it out.  She is such a verbal baby!  Whenever she smiles she coos and coos.  It looks like the 12 hours straight of talking at our house might not be ending any time soon.

She goes down for the night around 9 pm and sleeps until about 9am, with two feedings in between - usually at 4ish and 6ish.  She used to be up for the day after her second feeding until I discovered that she'll go back to sleep if I put her in bed with me after she eats.  And she'll keep sleeping after I get up with the other kids.  Some days she takes nice long naps, other days are full of short naps.

She doesn't mind much of anything.  She's content most of the time, unless she's tired, at which time I promptly put her little self to bed.  We are so blessed to have such a happy, sweet baby girl!
