Claire is only 3 weeks old and already well travelled. While my family was here, we went to New Hampshire to hike (Polar Caves, Clark's Trading Post) and Canobie Lake Park, Maine to the beach, spent a couple of days in Boston (whale watching, Harbor Cruise, Aquarium), & took in the sites of New York City (Empire State Building--102nd floor, Statue of Liberty, Times Square). Every where we went people asked about her and looked in amazement. Claire was a trooper, crying very little. I think she is destined to be a big city girl on the go. She has already had a few firsts--
7/29/07 1st professional photo shoot
7/30/07 umbilical cord fell off
7/30/07 1st night in a hotel room
8/01/07 1st bath in a bathtub
She is drinking more, typically 3 oz. per sitting. Claire has always and continues to sleep well. She wakes only once per night. Claire is quite alert and very strong. She can hold her head pretty well and focuses her eyes on you when you are looking at her. She loves to fold her hands, place her hands under her chin or around her face. Claire loves to be held. She often falls asleep laying on my chest. When my parents were here, she developed an attachment to my parents. They were very good at consoling her. My Mom especially enjoyed holding and cuddling Claire. She has alot of hair. When she was first put in my arms, Claire was sporting a mowhawk, a tradition that I have kept. Luke thought it was pretty weird that a girl has a mowhawk. I suggested we cut his hair to match, but his mom didn't like that idea. It became our little joke. Her cousins really liked her. Olivia was a good help with her. She is thrilled with the idea of her first girl cousin. Claire is looking less and less like a newborn. She is still tiny, but she changes everyday. Her feet are getting bigger and she is getting a little bit bigger each day. It is fun to see the growth.
