Clara had a doctors appointment on Friday and here are the three week stats:
Height: 20.5 in - 52%
Weight: 8 lbs 10 oz - 55%
Head: 14.25 in - 50%
So she is a fairly average sized little girl. She is between newborn and 3 month clothes and finally fitting in her size one diapers. Clara is finally losing some of the jaundice color, I'm hoping she will be a nice normal color soon! She is gaining head control and loves try to move around. Cedric loves to help her and gets very excited when she is moving.
Clara is learning how to get what she wants by screaming bloody murder. She loves to be held and so doesn't tolerate being set down for very long. She usually takes all her afternoon/evening naps in my arms or the bjorn.
Clara also doesn't like the swaddle. We are still trying to use it for sleeping but she fights it. Her night sleep has been great, only waking around 3 times to feed. She doesn't cry when she wakes up but starts grunting and fighting the swaddle. She's pretty good about breaking out of it too. So she also doesn't like the Moby :(.
She is small but very strong already! She tries to throw her weight around and gets very frustrated when she realizes she can't move the way she wants to. I have a feeling that she will be early to sit, crawl and walk so she can keep up with her brother.
On Saturday we had a beautiful, 70 degree football day and so went down to my parents tailgate for the KU vs Memphis game.
Clara stayed a little over an hour, sleeping most of the time. Cedric has been going to the games with Bob and my parents and stayed until half-time!
Clara keeps growing and changing, looking forward to the next week. Each day it is getting a little easier to handle two kids. When Cedric has a good day and Bob comes home from work on time it's almost normal around here!
