In an effort to not short change the third child, Clara will be updating on the 5th of each month on her growth and progress!!! Here it is!
Hello Everyone! I am officially one month old today, and what a month it's been! I was having a bit of trouble gaining weight the past few weeks, but mommy and daddy have been feeding, feeding, feeding in order to plump me up a bit! Today we visited Dr. Stone and their hard work is paying off! I weighed in at 8 lbs. 3 oz, that's up 7 ounces in 7 days!!! I have grown one whole inch, I am now 21 inches long. I am in the 51st percentile for length and the 25th for weight, but hopefully those will continue to even out as I continue to gain! I am getting pretty strong! I have more control of my head each day. I am drinking about 3 ounces of milk every 3 hours. I am starting to be more alert during my wake times. Today mommy even got a small smile out of me just by chance. People always comment on how alert and mature my little face looks for a one month old. Everyone already tells me I look like my siblings, especially Cade.
Mom and Dad say I'm a pretty good baby. If I fuss it's because I am tired, hungry, or stinky! There's no mystery to me. I'm easy to figure out. I'm also really snuggly and love to be held tight and cuddled. Mom hopes I stay that way!
Just this week mommy has taken me some really fun places. Yesterday I went to story time at the library and Cora wanted to hold me on her lap to do the rhymes and finger plays with me. Then today I went to Cade's school as his "show and tell." His classmates were very respectful and looked from a distance at me without touching. They thought I was pretty cute! I am so glad I've got such a great big sister and brother to keep me busy! Mommy just hopes I don't wind up spending my life in my carseat running them around. That's all for now! Hopefully next month's update I will have a few new skills to share!
Love, Clara
