I apologize for not updating Clare's blog sooner. It has been rather hectic the last couple of weeks for us. We are finally starting to get in a routine since I have been back to work for 3 weeks now. Things have gotten a little easier but they are still pretty hard to leave Clare. I definitely enjoy the weekends. Fridays are really hard for me because by the end of the week I really miss Clare.
Clare is changing everyday and is developing quite the personality. She is very determined and pretty easy going for the most part except when she wants to eat or is tired. Her transition to daycare has gone really well and she enjoys all the attention she gets from her daycare friends during the day. They entertain her all day, which is nice because Clare sleeps at least 7 to 9 hours straight each night.
Clare is pretty healthy and already weighs 14 pounds. She gained almost a pound in a little over 1 week. She just loves to eat. Clare has started to really make sounds and smiling a lot. She enjoys sitting in her swing, talking to her duck, and sucking on her binky, which she entertains herself doing this. We are trying to work on her belly time. In fact, the other night I found her laying on her side in the crib. I think it will be only a matter of time before she rolls over. She definitely misses her Mommy and on the weekends the only person she wants for the most part is her Mommy. It makes me feel so good. One of my fears going back to work was that she wouldn't want me as much but I think she wants me even more now that I'm back to work. Well, it is getting late and I need to go to bed while the little one is sleeping.

You are a fabulous mom Karmelle and Clare is a prime example of how good of a parent you are. She has adjusted to her routine and is thriving in her environment. It's tough to work full-time, but you have it together and know what's important...all the time you have together in the evenings and weekends.
Keep up the good work and she'll be blogging soon about her day at daycare and telling us all the fantastic stories and new tricks she is learning from the other kids. :)
I can't believe how big Clare has gotten already! I'm so glad you have this blog so we can watch Clare grow with you! She's so cute and Dallas and I are so proud of you guys and the parents that you are. You're great examples for us : )
