Kitty Encounter
My dear grandparents were kind enough to take my two cats before Clara was born, since our place is small. Below is a video of Clara meeting them when we were in Florida. She was so excited!
Little mermaid
Clara went swimming for the first time at Grammy and Grampy's in Orlando. She was very still at first and then, when she figured out that she could splash, she became very animated.

Opening presents
I am not tech-savvy, so I don't know how to make this into one movie. Enjoy the tidbits!
Clara's Half-Birthday Party!
Aunt Emmy will be in Japan for Clara's first birthday, so we arranged to have a half-birthday party when Clara and I were in Orlando over Memorial Day weekend. Although the party was for Emily's benefit, Clara enjoyed herself. We all were so entertained by her antics and her new babbles. That very day she started repeating syllables and enthusiastically punctuated her celebratory dinner with "da-da-ba-ba-ya-ya!"

Aunt Emmy dressed her for the party, complete with pink toenails!
She looked like she might want a bite!Visiting Aunt Emmy
Every moment with Aunt Emmy is precious. She is going to Japan for a year starting in August. We are so excited for all that God has in store for her, but we will miss her terribly!Thursday, May 22, 2008
27 Weeks Old
She is so big... At her sixth-month check-up she had jumped from the 50th percentile in length and weight to the 75th! She weighed 16 lbs, 12.5 oz and was 26.5 inches long!
Love you!
Not so sure about this!
Help me, Mama!
My sweet girl!Tuesday, May 20, 2008
We are back!
We are all on the mend after a bout with colds, viruses, etc. We have not been very photogenic - well Clara is always cute, but she has not been feeling photogenic - so pardon the lack of pictures. More will be coming soon!

Exersaucer
The effort of decoding the instruction manual to put this together was worth it. She entertains herself for 10-15 minutes at a time, which translates into 1/4 of dinner prep, 1/2 of a load of laundry folding or, best of all, 2/3 of a shower!
