"Come live with me and be my love,/ And we will all the pleasures prove,/ That valleys, groves, hills and fields,/ Woods or steepy mountains yields." --Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

Claire's Growing World










Claire reached her two week birthday on Wednesday. We are still working on getting her to put on some weight, but she was up to 7 lbs 1 ounce on Friday which was good news. We will keep supplementing with a few bottles and continue weekly weight checks to make sure she stays on track.

She has expanded her world a little in the last few days. We had a trip to school where she met some students and a few of my fellow faculty members. With grandma's help we did some grocery shopping, and last night after my dad arrived we enjoyed an outdoor dinner at a local restaurant.

Everyone comments on Claire's long fingers and toes, so I thought I'd include a picture. Except for her face, she is pretty long and skinny. My mom tells me I was this way as a baby too.
