Clyde at 2 Weeks

The sleeping has definitely gotten a little harder in the last two nights. She's not a bad cryer, and she's up about three or four times in a night, but she's up for longer periods than she was initially, and she'll act hungry, but literally feed for like a minute or two then just twitch her head around and murmur and coo and whine. We're more tired now, but it's not unmanageable. My friend Kurt says it might be because she came two weeks early, and she might just be entering her true newborn sleeping phase now.

On another note, though, I'm convinced Clyde is already advanced for her age! She's not yet two weeks but she is already holding up her own head more, and is awake for longer during the day, and yikes!--today, she noticed the toys on her vibrating chair for the first time that I could see. So I brought out some of her toys and we played with them together, and she seemed to notice the objects around her--a new developmental signpost!

Meanwhile, I'm getting ready for my new homelife during the day. At every outing, we seem to run into a friend or acquaintance in the nabe, usually a stay-at-home mom: Alexa, Rhonda, etc. It has been so fun! My friend Julie's friend Mandy had a baby about six weeks before we did, and her name is Charlie. Charlie and Clyde need to become friends!
