Claire is 2 weeks old already!


Claire is already 2 weeks old. She's already starting to look so different. Her face is filling out more and she's staying awake longer already - well, at least for 30 minutes to hour at a time. She had a her two week doctor's appointment today with Dr. Loibissio. She's well above her birth weight now at 7 lb. 13 oz. (45 percentile). She's actually measuring shorter than in the hospital but they are typically not as accurate in the hospital as they are in the pediatrician's office. She's measuring 19.75" (25th percentile) compared to 21" in the hospital. Her head circumference is measuring in the 55th percentile. We thought her head seemed more dainty than Natalie's :). I now don't have to wake her to nurse anymore and can let her sleep as long as she'd like. She doesn't need to go again until her 1 month appointment on January 5th.

Natalie is doing great with Claire and is adjusting much better now than the first week. She "asks" where Claire is when she's in another room by rocking her arms back and forth (her sign for baby). She loves to share her books and dolls with Claire. Now that we're more into a routine, we get to spend a lot of one on one time with each girl while still spending a lot of time with the two girls together. Natalie still gets to spend time doing activities outside of the house with Kinsey when they go to the mall, library, and Little Gym. Tomorrow they're heading to the museum. I think this has helped Natalie to become more comfortable with Claire because her routine has stayed somewhat "normal" for her. She's such a great big sister!

We had Laura Brett take newborn photos of Claire last week. We also had her take a few with the two girls together. Here is a sneak peak of the photos: http://www.laurabrettphotography.com/blog/2009/12/newborn/oh-so-sweet-raleigh-newborn-photographer-laura-brett/

Here are some photos of Natalie and Claire from this week.
