February 29, 2008 - BONUS!


Clara must have been inspired by yesterday's wiring with Daddy. Today, she was checking out behind the TV components in the family room...

Michael is changing some wiring in the bedroom, and Clara wanted to help. Maybe Gooch builders is hiring?? She's all ready to yell at those guys to get their work done!

Clara and the mirror...

Clara only needs to hold onto one finger while she walks... I love the way she grabs on!

Clara likes to take small breaks from playing and "rest her head" on her giraffe.

I finally found some hair clips that will stay in Clara's hair (what there is of it). I also made some healthy cookies for Clara today - she loved them. Of course, Michael did too, so they might not last for Clara - LOL!

We finished the closet! The girls are going to share a room, so this means momma has to get organized. Clara loved helping put the closet together, including climbing in the drawers before they were assembled, and tying the wrapping around her head (with daddy's help). She likes playing with her clothes now that she can reach them.

Oh, and I'm having a hard time limiting myself to just one photo a day... I hope you don't mind indulging me ;)

Today, we have a video instead of a picture.

Clara is learning to walk. Being the good parents we are, we asked Santa to bring her a "walk behind toy" (see her Lion in the background), but she chooses to push our chairs around the house instead. Enjoy!

Clara loves to get into my basket of hair stuff in our bathroom. On this day, she was putting my hair clips between her chin and chest and trying to hold them there. Our girl will be ready for "pass the orange" games when she grows up!

Again, no picture from this day, so we're going back to January for some pics of Clara playing in the snow with the neighbor boys... she loved sledding down the hill with mommy (yes, somehow I got my pregnant belly and Clara in a sled with me), and just sitting on the steps chillin.

I don't actually have a picture from this day, so I'm going back a week or so to a picture worth sharing... Clara has always loved the dishwasher, but she has now learned how to climb into the dishwasher! Watch out mamma!

Anything to keep her happy! Michael discovered that Clara loves to play in the sink... literally!

Clara loves her legs! If you ask her, "where are your cute legs?" She gives her thighs a little squeeze!
