Two Months

Wow, I can't believe that Clara is two months old today.  I also can't believe that we have been home for a month now. This first month home has been very action packed and Clara continues to thrive and do well. We are definitely starting to settle in to a routine.  Also we have been making more and more trips out and about!  Definitely much more proficient at getting Clara in and out of her car seat.

While technically Clara is two months old, developmentally she will be measured by her original due date. So she developmentally is a week and a day old.

Sleeping: Clara like any newborn spends most of the day sleeping.  She loves to sleep while being held or while lying on someone's chest.  We are still supposed to not let her sleep for more than four hours, but there have been a few nights where she has slept for 5 hour stretches!

Clara and her PopPop

Eating: We are still mostly breast feeding.  We have added two bottles during the day of breast milk mixed with neosure, to help Clara gain weight quicker.  Clara also gets 1mL of a multi vitamin with iron mixed into one of the bottles.

Clara and Polar:  these two are really starting to get along and interact more with each other.  Polar likes to give Clara kisses and can often be found guarding her.  Clara likes to watch Polar run around the house and play with Rob.

Clothes: We are putting Clara in Newborn size.  Depending on the brand some fit pretty well, while some are still quite big on her.

Weight: Clara was 4 pounds and 15 ounces at one month.  She is now 6 pounds and 3 ounces.  She is up 1 pound and 4 ounces.

All and all we have our good nights and bad, but I wouldn't change it for anything.  It's amazing how some one so little can cause so much change and so much love! Looking forward to seeing what the next month will bring!
