We survived our first month of parenthood, but not without a few bumps along the way. I got the stomach flu and Patrick shared the fever and chills our second week home. Fortunately, Pat's mom (Nonna) flew in just in time to save us and to gleefully love on Clara while we recovered. Pat's dad arrived four days later and we finally got back on our feet just before they had to leave.
Wish we could show you pictures of a first walk in the park, or of Clara against the background of Lake Michigan while we gaze at her adoringly, but Chicago has endured ridiculously cold weather since the day she was born. We can wait.
Clara continues to amaze and delight us. She's already gained two pounds (working on three) and is getting some "delicious chub". She still cries only when something needs to be fixed, and we are only too happy to do her bidding. Here are a few photos of our amazing growing girl....
