Claire seems to really smile when she makes eye contact, even with herself when she looks in the mirror. I wanted to see if she would still smile at herself when I used the webcam on my iMac…here are the results. It seems that blogger always stalls the videos, move the arrow when it gets stuck and then you can rewind. I trimmed the to … Continue reading An Experiment with Relfections…
Yesterday was our doctor’s appointment – and ta-dah – Claire weighs 10 pounds and 14 ounces. If you look back at the original post where I added the poll you’ll see Grandma CaCa guessed that exact weight. There’s no conspiracy here, that’s her legitimate guess!

She’s always had those gas smiles (I like the Dr. Sear’s explanation that they are expressions of inner contentment, see below for the quote) but these social smiles are something totally different. She makes eye contact, grins and then sticks her tongue out while wiggling her head back and forth, it’s too cute. The eye contact seems … Continue reading What a Happy Baby!
