Despite being maybe not quite as easy-going as the boys were as babies, Clementine is a happy girl. At exactly four weeks she began smiling at us! No, not "just gas," but actual social smiling! She was in a quiet alert period and was making all sorts of funny faces with her tongue sticking in and out. I was laughing so hard at her facial expressions when she stared at my face for a few moments, then broke into a huge, open-mouthed smile! She did it a few more times as I smiled and talked to her. It was so fun. Since then she's smiled at us very distinctly many times. Perhaps she'll be a little social butterfly, because as far as I know smiling at 4 weeks is early.
Richard and I still find it hard to believe that we have a baby GIRL! Babies in our house have always been boys, and the "big" child a girl. It's a new experience to have the tiniest person be a girl, and very fun to watch our other three children interact with their little sister.
Here she's wearing a pair of wool "longies" over her diaper, which I made from a Goodwill sweater.
Cheeks! More like "jowls". :)
Is she going to cry??
A little tummy rub from Moses.
Oh how mama loves to have a little girl to dress again!!
slurp, slurp, slurp...
