While it is too soon to tell, Claire's first week at home has been very promising. She is a very content baby that loves her bouncy seat, loves her brothers, loves her paci (which makes it very easy to appease her) and after the first night figured out how to put the day/night confusion behind her. She sleeps 3-4 hours between the bottle feedings at night, so she is up once or twice for a 15 minute period.
Our first weekend at home, the boys were very protective of her and kept watch. They actually sat on the couch playing their Leapster while she snoozed in her bouncy. If we left her sleeping in another room, the boys got concerned that she was alone. She received her first sponge bath, which she seemed to enjoy mainly because Connor was talking to her the whole time.
By the end of the weekend, Connor got up the nerve to ask if he could feed her. He now claims this is his "job" and wants to do it all the time. Brady got the opportunity to feed her the next night. Connor convinced him that he had to hold Claire while he did it because she is "heavy".
We love having our baby girl, Claire, finally here and part of our family! We love seeing the reaction the boys have to her everyday!
