On thursday I took Clara for a follow up appointment with the surgeon that did her esophagus repair. He was very pleased with how she's doing. She'll go back to see him again in a month, and then in six months, and then once a year for a few years.
Then on Friday we took her for another esophagram, which showed that she did need her esophagus dilated again so they went ahead and did that on Friday as well. She didn't enjoy it too much in the moment, but she seemed to recover from it more quickly this time than last time. The doctor was hopeful that she might only need to have that done one or two more times. We take her back again in three weeks to possibly do it again.
Tomorrow Clara will be eight weeks old already! She currently weighs about 10 pounds and she has grown 1.5 inches since birth. She now smiles at us a lot and she enjoys our company so much that she doesn't want to sleep during the day as much as she used to. Another of her favorite things is sucking on her fingers. We are enjoying watching her grow and change right before our eyes!

I can understand about how fun it is to watch a baby grow and develop. We are loving that with Eliana, too. Just wait, though, it keeps getting better!
