Today little Clara is two months old already! Although normalcy is difficult to define these days, I have to say that the second month of her life has seemed a little more "normal" than the first, and it has seemed to move at a slightly more normal pace. While on one hand it's somewhat hard to believe she's already two months old, I mostly feel like we've lived so much in these months that her birth feels like almost a year ago.
So what's Clara up to these days, at the ripe old age of 61 days? Growing, now at almost 11 pounds. I went to weigh her on Friday, which revealed to me yet again my inability to become familiar with the metric system for weight. There's something completely disconcerting about my newborn's size being measured by the thousands of something, even if it's just grams (4,950 grams? Holy crap! She's a giant! Oh wait. That's only about 11 pounds). Anyway, she's becoming much more fun as she emerges from her newborn sleepiness and smiles, gurgles, giggles, and coos. Her hair is a little on the wild side, but not quite as bad as Elsa's at the same age:

She loves her sister, loves to hear music, and spends the majority of her mornings bouncing around Wolfenbüttel next to me in the Ergo. This week, her 3rd month will be kicked off with a trip to her first major European city, Berlin, and a visit from Oma and Opa.
