The Clara Show

Ben will have to take a back seat this entry, because Clara is moving and grooving. It is utterly amazing to watch her grow and change each day.

The fun started last week with her nine month check-up with our beloved Dr. Michael. She is right on track at 19.2 lbs. and 28" inches and seems to be growing bigger by the day. As for doctor visits, try this math equation: 1 child (Ben) = 2 parents at each well check visit. 2 children (Ben & Clara) = 1 parent at each well check visit.

Clara had a week of firsts. She is now crawling. This is very exciting news, as many of you remember Ben never crawled, he just scooted around on his bottom. Clara also started clapping. Whenever we sing songs or play music she claps with glee. Our baby girl said her first word, "Mama." That mama would be her first word is a surprise, Clara adores Mark and has to be in his arms anytime he is in the room and Ben is easily her most favorite person in the world. At the end of the day, the womb must count for something.

Clara Elizabeth Grace, we are proud of you!
