At two weeks babies don't really do that much yet. They can't really focus their eyes or their attention but parents still search for ways to improve their kids development so that they will have a higher IQ later in life. Some parents try Mozart in the crib and some try reading stories. Our approach was to teach her some social lessons. She is currently an only child so we thought it would be a good idea to take her out to meet some other kids her own age. We thought about taking her to the park, but its been raining cats, dogs, fish, and all kinds of other animals all weekend so we couldn't really do that. Instead we invited over some good friends (I'll call them Steve and Victoria) and their 4 month old daughter. We'll call her Sophia for the purposes of this blog. Anyway, we got these two
lovely ladies together and well, to be honest not much happened.. They didn't actually even look at each other. The only thing that did happen was a small fight in which Sophia exerted her "I'm the big girl on the block attitude" and smacked Claire across the face. It probably wasn't intentional because we sat these two ladies (each with very little control of their own limbs) right next to each other, but deep down I'm thinking Claire probably holds a grudge and may take it out on her new "friend" later in life. Or better, maybe we'll teach her the virtues of friendship and forgiveness and she will simply buy a pony for Sophia.

Nice photo of your Snuggly or whatever the baby front-pack is called these days.
I am going to have to go call Sophia's grandma.
Very cute- both Sophia and Claire. I am sure they are best friends already. Maybe it is like Meredith and Christina- sometimes girlfreinds fight.
Wait that cute shirt says U of Iowa! Where did that one come from?
Some comments on the comments:
Mom got the shirt from the hospital volunteer office.
The proper term for "Snuggly" is "Baby Bjorn"
