Clara had to get her immunization shots today.  It was SO sad.  She woke up in the happiest mood this morning and smiled for me all morning long.  She grinned big grins at the doctor's office when the nurse was weighing and measuring her (9 lbs. 11 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long now at 6 weeks old) and she cooed and gurgled the whole time.  Then the other nurse came in with the needles and pricked her.  Poor Clara's face just crumpled into hurt and confusion and sadness.  I felt terrible.  She cried and cried and even when I held her she was just so sad.  She wasn't herself for the rest of the day.  I kept monitoring her with the thermometer for a rise in her temperature but she was just fine.  I went ahead and gave her baby Tylenol anyway because the doctor said I could if she seemed to be in pain and if I got shots in both hips, I would be in pain.

Nap time.  I love having a baby girl.  This outfit was a present from a friend in our ward and the quilt was a gift from Clara's great-grandparents on Paul's side, the Robertsons.

Driving home at the end of our vacation with Paul's family at Huntington Lake.  Clara didn't travel quite as well on the way home as she did on the way there - she got to hot, the sun was in her eyes, and then we think she got scared when she woke up and nobody was in the back with her.  So we ended up moving stuff around so I could sit with her. 

 When we got home, Paul and Clara took a nap together on the couch.

There are two large photos on the wall behind the couch and whenever I am feeding Clara she likes to gaze at them.
