Dominic and Claire

It took Dominic a little while to warm up to Baby Claire, and he pretty much ignored her for the first five days after she was born.  He frequently pointed to himself, saying “Beebee,” as if to make sure we knew he still carried that title.  But when she was six days old, Dominic acknowledged her for the first time.

Ever since then he has been referring to both himself and Claire as ‘baby’ (still not quite ready to part with the name).  He gives her a lot of love, asking to hold her and hugging her.  When she is sleeping in her rocking cradle, Dominic rocks her gently singing “Roooooock-bye bee-beeeeeee,” in a sweet, high pitched voice. It is precious!
