Malcom has gorgeous eyes! Does he have a dimple in his chin? David has a cleft chin, and we think Clara might have that, too!

Jill, I'm not really sure what to tell you about Clara's eyes, except that they're dark! It's really hard to tell right now, and we have many different colors in our families...ranging from sky blue (my mother's dad) to green and brown hazels (our moms and david's sister) to dark brown (me and my brothers and our dad). David's got blue/grey/green eyes, they change a lot!

He does have a dimple in his chin. That comes from my dad.

Cool! I love those! You can't really see David's because he keeps a goatee, but seems like all the men on his dad's side have them. Not sure if there've been any girls with one, though! And, we're not 100% sure if Clara has one, but sometimes it seems like she does! I notice them all the time on people (men and women) now that my daughter might have one!

I have the chin dimple, that I certainly inherited from my Dad! I always tell people - "well, at least I'm a girl, so mine doesn't have whiskers growing out of it like dad's does!"

Aw that is a cute pic of Clara, and wow Malcom is getting big.

Thanks for the compliments and congrats! Yes she doesn't have that newborn look -- none of the babies in my family do, but most of the babies in my family are much bigger than Tyler even.

The health nurse came by today -- she has gained 3 ounces since Monday! I'm so happy because her nursing schedule is all over the place and she never feeds for as long as they say babies should. No jaundice either! She seems like a nice strong healthy baby. She's been able to lift her head since day 1 -- if you give her tummy time on your belly she'll lift her head up and look around. And she has rolled from her back to her side three times already that I've noticed. Now we really have to work on those sleepless nights...
