Mother's Day

We had Mother's Day lunch over at our house with both sets of grandparents. I led the children's choir at both services at church and then we had lots of delicious food. It was a good first Mother's Day.

7 Months

Who would have known all the changes that little Clara's 7-month mark would bring? Crawling backwards, saying "mama," "dada," "baba," and lots of "f" and "v" sounds, pulling up to the edge of her crib with both hands, eating so many new foods including strawberries (the all-time fave), big-girl carseats, NO teeth :-), and sadly, some major stranger-danger fears. Loving every minute of our precious girl and can't wait to see whar next month will bring.

Happy Easter!

Two Months = Too Fast!

How crazy is it that little Clara is already 2 months old? I feel like it was 100 degrees just yesterday and all of the sudden it is so cold and my baby is getting so big! She weighed 12 pounds, 7 ounces at her 2 month appointment and she didn't even cry for her shot.

She loves to be held and cuddled all of the time, but she enjoys lots of playtime on her own and is so strong! She pushes her head and chest all the way up on her tummy and even rolls over onto her back. She holds her head up anytime she is upright with no help (she has been doing that for awhile). She is outgrowing so many clothes already and talking up a storm! Her favorite words are "Aah-oo," "ah-goo," and lots of shrieks and coos. She thinks our dog Stanley is hilarious.

It is really so much fun to be home with her, and I know how lucky we are be able to have me stay away from work for the time being. I wish she liked her carseat a little more (that is an understatement) but really, she is such a good girl. I love our baby!
