Slackers

So we were slackers and couldn't get on the blog last night. Apologies to any one wanting an update, but we were exhausted and needed to call it an early evening.

Yesterday and today have been good. Claire got a sponge bath yesterday, which was much fun. Let's just say warm water and no diaper make for an adventure. The baby tub was quite handy, even if it wasn't full of water! Claire also managed to lose most (but not quite all) of her umbilical chord stump (come on, you know that's exciting news). Some of our across the street neighbors stopped by with a cute outfit and some books for Claire, which was very sweet...but not as sweet as the cookies they brought, which were very tasty.

Today has been pretty uneventful, though we did go see the nurse practitioner for our 2 week appointment. Claire has put on a solid 3.5 ounces since Monday, now weighing in at 6 lbs. 3.5 ounces, which is very exciting. The nurse practitioner said that she looks wonderful and that it is clear that Claire has figured out how to eat! After our appointment, we went to the baby store and got Claire a sling so we can start going on longer walks (the stroller is just too bumpy).

Here are a couple of cute pictures...one of her bath and another of Oscar demanding attention from Valerie...surprisingly he actually fits on the Boppie pillow!
