Try

We let Clara try rice cereal last week. She didn't care for it the first time. The next couple of times she took to it a little more. We'll keep trying.

Pebbles Bonelli

This baby's hair is a bit unruly. First it was thick and stood straight up. Then it grew and Clara lost some hair on the sides as new fuzz was coming in. So she had and still has a square patch of long hair in the front and hair in the back that won't lie flat. I tried putting a clip in her hair to pin down the front, but the back sticks up like crazy! Then I tried a headband, but most headbands for babies are way too frilly for us. Then I remembered we got some hand-me-down bows. We now have Pebbles Bonelli living with us. She's not amused.
P.S. I haven't put a bow in her hair since this picture was taken. I had a good laugh that day.

Clara's Latest

I thought I'd give an update on what Clara's been up to...I feel like she does so much now! Posting about her has been a good way to document her life and remember what she's done in her young life. WHEN (not if) I get a baby book, this blog will help jar my memory. :) Now onto little Miss Clara.

We're excited she's found her thumb. It soothes her and helps her fall asleep and STAY asleep longer during naps. This is so nice! A few more minutes to relax for us or get things done around the house.

Bottles. She's been consistently good taking a bottle from James and I for about a week now. Taking a bottle at daycare has been another thing. She's only been in daycare two weeks and in both weeks, Clara has felt comfortable enough with the teachers to take a bottle by the end of the week. She's been refusing bottles at the beginning of both weeks. So hopefully after a few more weeks, she'll always feel comfy taking a bottle from anyone anywhere.

Sleep. Boy, this little baby can sleep a lot! She takes naps for hours at daycare and then is asleep by 9pm. Maybe she's going through a growth spurt?

Tummy time. Clara loves rolling onto her tummy! She likes to look around at everything. She props herself on her elbows or pushes up on her hands. Then she'll put her head down for a little rest and then push onto her knees and stick her toosh in the air. It'll be an exciting day when she can push up on her hands and get on her knees at the same time!

Baby hands. Clara wants to grab everything put in front of her...especially if it's in my hands. Tonight she grabbed my cup and pulled it to her mouth. Too big of a baby already!

Talking. Clara was gabbing away before my mom left, but lately she's favored one sound. I woke up on Saturday to her making this new sound over and over and over. Enjoy it below.
