For those of you still reading. . . .

Hmmm, I suppose it's safe to say that the blog got overlooked there for a bit!

Claire officially rolled over for the first time last Friday. Of course, she did it once- I ran to get the camera- and while I was gone, she did it again. When I had the camera ready and rolling though, there was no more rolling over by her. In fact, it's been nearly a week, and she still hasn't done it again!

Claire got to see her Grandma and Grandpa a few weekends ago, when they came to visit for my birthday. Well, they said it was for my birthday, but you know who they REALLY wanted to see! She's a lot more fun than the last time they saw her, she's learned how to giggle and coo. It's adorable!

All the size newborn clothes are now packed away. . . our little girl is now over 12 pounds!

Claire's new favorite thing

In the past few days, Claire has discovered that she has hands. Two of them! And from the looks of it, they taste great! Her new favorite thing is to see if she can shove an entire hand in her mouth. Geez, it's not like we don't feed her!

Same old, same old. . . .

Not much new and exciting in the life of the Goodmans! Too hot the last few days to go on walks. Today Claire got to visit with mommy's friend, and took a trip to Bath and Body Works (good deal on soap!)

Getting bigger

Buying a scale for home has really come in handy. Every bath night, Claire gets weighed. As of last night, she was a whopping 9 lbs, 5 oz. (We thought she was feeling heavier!) For those of you keeping track at home, that's more than 2 lbs. over her birthweight. :)

Nothing much else going on in the Goodman neck of the woods. It's been cooler during the day, meaning we're getting out for nightly walks around the neighborhood. We figure by the end of the summer, we'll know most of the neighbors!

Party time!

Claire got all dressed up in her polka-dot party dress today for her daddy's birthday! She did so good, and didn't even spit up on it at all.

Before bathtime last night we weighed her, and she's up to a whopping 8 lbs, 12 oz! Wow!! Some of her newborn clothes are getting a little snug.

Claire and her crib

Today, Claire took a nap in her big girl crib for the first time! She was all tired out from her afternoon walk.

Claire is one month old today!

And to celebrate, we bought a baby scale! Now we can weigh her (minus that pesky doctor's office co-pay!) anytime we want!!

Because it was her one-month birthday, we let her wear her adorable little pink dress. . . which she promptly spit up on a few hours post-photo shoot.

Claire loves bathtime. . . usually

Since she's arrived home, Claire has had several baths. The first few were a wild success- she loved them! We learned our lesson the other night though- ALWAYS make sure the baby is fed before bathtime! A hungry baby does not make for a happy bather.

Took Claire for a weight check today- at 3 weeks, 5 days old, she weighed in at 7 lbs, 10 oz. A tiny girl! She hasn't even gained a pound from her birthweight of 6 lbs, 13 oz.!! Dr. wasn't concerned, and said we're feeding her the right amount, so all is well for now.

Trip to Target

Claire is 3 weeks old today!

Today Claire and I went to Target- our first solo shopping trip! Claire did pretty good, and only fussed a little bit. We're thinking of hitting up Old Navy next week!

The Goodmans go for a walk

Claire got to go for her first walk (well, ride) around the 'hood this evening. We took her down to the park, around the block, and back home. It was so riveting, she even stayed awake for about 5 minutes of the journey!
