some milestones

As requested by grandma S, here's the baby and Raggedy Ann comparison. First, from week 1.

Now from tonight (just over 1 month). She wouldn't leave her legs stretched out, so you'll have to use your imagination about her height. Also, she's wearing lots of clothes because it is quite cold today.
Saturday was a big day for Clara. First, she smiled at us. The smiles were brief and glorious. Second, she copied our arm motions (raise arms, bring back to chest).

Perhaps because those actions were so strenuous, she has done nothing but eat and sleep today. Or perhaps she's gearing up to grow by another leap or bound.
