Weekend Fun

Clara loves to go outside to play in her playhouse

and swing in her swing.

Look! Clara now has enough hair for a bow

Thank you!!!

Thank you all for your congrats. We are excited about our new expected baby. Clara and her brother/sister will be almost 20 months apart as long as this one doesn't come early. I had been nausa all the time but now I am just tired all the time(but that is normal for me-pregnant or not.)

Clara's baby

Clara often hugs and kisses on her "Dollie". I hope she will love her sister or brother that is due on January 25th as much.

Swimming

Clara went swimming yesterday for the second time. She was not very fond of it the first time but she loved it yesterday. These pictures are probably not the cutest but they are what I was able to get.

Cows

We took Clara to see Chris' dad's cows last night for the first time. I was scared to death but Clara just wanted to get closer. She barked at the cows. To Clara every animal either barks or quacks.

Happy Birthday, Clara!

Today Clara is one year old. We celebrated her birthday last Sunday while my sister and her kids were in town. The party included my family and Chris' family. At first, Clara was not real sure what to do with her cupcake. She put her hand in the icing(which was just cool whip) then reached up to me as if to say "my hand is dirty". I put her fingers in her mouth then she was hooked. She ate the whole thing.

Visit from cousins

My sister and her 3 kids came to visit us. Clara had so much fun.
