Family Photo

The funnest imperfect family photo. Clara had fun trying on her kerchief and we had fun giggling with her.

Spring Parade

Clara had a Spring Parade recently. She showed me her parade hat made from a bowl and some flowers made of her handprints. Then she wanted to eat everything. Happy Spring Time to you!

Went to Rodeo

Mom, Clara, and I went to the Livestock and Rodeo Show in Houston. We didn't see livestock or a rodeo, BUT we walked through dozens of BBQ parties and a carnival. We really smelled like smoked BBQ when we left. After Clara was in her stroller or on my mom's back all afternoon, Mom let her walk around the parking lot.

Little Drummer Girl

This girl likes to drum with Daddy! Even shakes her head...and at the end, she decides her 'drums' need a little bit of shining.

Loves My Pups

Clara loves to sit and play with her toys, BUT every now and then she takes off and crawls super fast. Not until I look up do I know she's heading for Otis. She sure loves her pups.Crawling to Otis.
Clara and her pups. Otis tolerates her for the most part. He likes when she plays with his toys and tries to play Keep Away from her after he gets them back.

T-E-F-ahhhh

Clara has EIGHT T-E-F-ahhhhh. :) She showed off her two big front teeth. Four are in, and four more are coming in...that I can tell. She may have more big teeth in the back coming in! She likes to grind them...bleh!

Mukluks and Parka

My mom brought my baby mukluks that my Great Grandma Anna (my Amouk!) made when I was a baby. My mom helped Clara try them on on Christmas day.
A few days ago I had to check if Clara would fit in my parka in case I amak (uh-mock meaning pack her on my back) her while we're in Alaska. We hope to make it up there this winter!
