Hungry Hippo

So it was not the most exciting of days. We all took things kind of easy after our busy day of firsts. Dad got to give Claire a bottle for the first time late last night so mom could get some sleep. Claire ate like a champ and then decided it was time for a milk bath...drink, drink, drink, drool!

After a couple more feedings, Claire let us know that she wanted to be held, and not left in her fancy new bassinet. So she got a few good hours on mom's chest into the morning. It was a pretty quiet morning, with Grandmother Lana calling to check in and then mom and dad got some napping in. Grandmother Karen came over for a visit, and then Claire decided it was time to eat. And then she decided it was time to eat again. And again. Any concerns we may have had about keeping her on at least a 3 hour feeding schedule have long disappeared...Claire has figured out how to tell us she is hungry, and she is not shy about it! She does not do much crying, but just gets really active and makes lots of cute baby noises.

We did a little tummy time, which the nurses said was good for her neck and shoulder muscle development. Then we watched our first soccer game (Claire has been very bad luck for Real Salt Lake, but we won't hold that against her).

So all in all a good day. Hope you enjoy a couple more cute Claire pictures. One is just after a feeding relaxing in dad's arms...Claire loves to throw her arms up...even wiggling them out of her blankets in her bassinet. The other picture is from Claire's tummy time...note that Vinnie is completely oblivious, though Timmy is intrigued by the leads to her heart monitor.
