Week 16 & 17

Hi, Clara. These last 2 weeks have been both amazing and difficult. The amazing begins with your warm nature, happy disposition, and exponential growth. You recently discovered your voice and use it to soothe yourself to sleep, talk to your admirers, and sing like your parents. Sometimes you sound like you're imitating a pterodactyl! The difficult part is all about sleep! For some reason your sleep patterns changed this week and you keep waking up all night... just as things were getting good. I think the reflux resurfaced. We are going to try to transition you into your crib in your room this coming weekend, and I have my fingers crossed that it will go smoothly. You are definitely strong-willed, so I expect a fight. Here are some exciting things we did the last two weeks:

DUHAN FAMILY TIME!

(you love these guys!!)

Week 14 & 15

You have definitely reached a turning point these past 2 weeks, and you've just been a joy! You sleep better, seem so happy, smile at everyone, laugh, and are only fussy when you're tired. We are still working on extending the length of your naps, but nighttime sleep is great! You are averaging about 11 hours a night with one to two feedings you do in your sleep. You seem to handle your reflux a little better now too. You LOVE to be out and about, seeing new things and meeting new people. The two words to describe you lately are sweet and observant.

Some things we have been up to the last couple weeks:

-Baby mama yoga (not fun!)

-Walking with Olivia and Sara

-Meeting new friends in a play group

-Watching mommy work on her new business

-Playing with Mammaw and Poppi

-Hanging out with Zada

-BBQ's

-Swinging and relaxing in the park

-Viewing your first art exhibit at Co-Lab

-Staring at your cousin, Rell

-Enjoying time with Grami

-Drinking my first margarita at my parent's anniversary dinner

-Skyping with your Lubbock family
