Eight pounds and counting.....!

Hello again,

Baby Claire returned to the pediatrician this week and continues to do well.  She now weighs 8 pounds 1 ounce!  The doctor is really happy with her progress as she continues to shine.  He said she is a healthy newborn and is achieving her developmental milestones.  She can hold her head up, is very responsive with smiles and cooing, and has a great appetite.  We continue to be so proud of Claire :)  She had another immunization but only cried during the shot and then was okay.  She returns in a month for another check up. 

Baby Claire had another new first - she had her first air plane ride!  No crying or fussing and no problems for her ears.  I had a meeting in Orange County as I have returned to work as of this week.  Alan came along to take care of Baby Claire.  It was a long day but fun and a new experience for all of us.  Cousin Meghan is helping with babysitting.  Yesterday was her first day and both baby & sitter survived unscathed.

We continue to count our blessings and thank you for checking Claire's blog.

Take good care,
Denise & Alan
