first real clothes

Hello!
We’re here!
Thank you for the sweet comments about Clara. They’re so much fun to read. And thanks for the advice to enjoy our little baby and not worry about blogging. As you can tell, I’ve been trying to do that. But I think I’ll break radio silence more often since I’m feeling fairly back to normal.
Little Clara is 2 weeks old tomorrow.
Can’t believe time has passed that quickly–seems like I was just in the hospital.
My mom’s been here with us which was super helpful. But since she left yesterday we’re officially on our own.
So far, so good.

And after days of baby gowns and jammies, I finally put real clothes on the little girl.
I love it when you can finally see how skinny and small their bodies are.
And who can resist their awesome baby faces–funny eyes and all.
For the most part she’s still a great baby. She has her fussiness but has been sleeping great at night, so no complaints here.
Her onesie is a simple Gerber one, hand-dyed with RIT dye. You can read more about that here and here (sadly with my website migration, I lost all the great comments and tips you guys left about your own hand-dyeing experiments. So feel free to re-submit comments/tips on there if you have any!).
And that’s Clara these days.
Almost a smile.
Content.
Well, sort of.  I hear her  squirming in the other room.
I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be on someone else’s time table.

Bye for now!
