Clara Rae is one month old today! Wow, that sure went by quickly. She still sleeps quite a bit, especially if she's in her swing, but is more and more alert/awake for longer each day, it seems.
I still think that she and Brynn look so much alike (when Brynn was a baby), but while Brynn was the sleeper, Clara is the eater! Clara usually sleeps 3-4 hours on average in the night; she makes sure she wakes up to eat, whereas when we were supposed to wake up Brynn to feed her, she would have rather kept sleeping. Clara seems to be growing so fast and seems bigger every day.
This morning she was still asleep in her bassinet (in our bedroom) and Dana was getting ready in the bathroom, also in our bedroom. I heard a laugh come from the bassinet and looked over at Clara to see her smiling. It was so cute. I wouldn't have believed I had heard a real laugh, but then Dana asked me if she had just laughed, as he had heard it from the bathroom. Too cute.

| Clara and cousin Reese. They were born four days apart. Clara looks like the peanut here, but after her mom and I were visiting, we realized Clara eats almost twice as much as Reese. Ha. |

These next three are of her at one month old, today.
School is still going well for big sister. Today she is starting back at the after school program at Hope. Last week she came home with this poster to fill out about herself. It was fun to see how she answered some of the questions.

| She had originally put that she didn't like puzzles, and then I reminded her that she *really* didn't like storms, so she crossed out puzzles and answered with storms. |
