Thanksgiving

I was too busy to take lots of pictures, but we had Rich family over for the big feast. Lots of family keeping the girls busy and entertained.

Claras Update

Lets see, she had her 9 mo appointment. She was 20.6 lbs/oz & 30 inches tall. That puts her about average to 75% weight and over 95.97 percentile. Whether it means anything or not shes much bigger than Ava was at this age.

Shes been crawling like a mad girl. Shes got 2 speeds, slow and FAST! Shes really into exploring the house and finding people when they are not near. Shes cruising the furniture and her toys. She walks with her walkers and with the help of mom and dads hands. Shes one of the happiest babies Ive ever seen.

She also in the past 6 weeks has gotten 4 teeth! They started with the lower left, next the upper left, then bottom right and finally top right! They are sharp suckers too!

Clara is still having problems with eating finger food. It sets off her gag reflex way too easy....we see lots and lots of spit up. yuck!

Why raking leaves is fun!

It was so amazing out yesterday, I raked some leaves and made big piles for Ava to jump in! Then we had a picnic on the grass! I didnt even wipe the brownie crsuted on her face of! Way to go mom!!

Happy Halloween!

Ava out trick or treating!

Waiting patiently for mom to take pics before collecting the goods.

Clara, day after. She went to bed at 5pm on Halloween night.

Tiger bite tiger!

Ava took a picture of me in my mask.....

So I took one of her!

Claras Developments

I keep forgetting to mention that Clara had her first crawl in Bermuda. She is now speed crawling across not only the rugs, but the wood floors. Shes even trying the step into the kitchen. Shes been pulling herself up on everything and cruising across those items for a few weeks.

I cant seem to get her to enjoy finger food yet...or understand that you've got t gum it for awhile. She will occasionally gag and toss up her belly contents on a cheerio or puff. The BASICS! ugga. I tried not together or in this order, peas, homefries, scrambled eggs and pear. ALl very soft and mashed...and all of it made her gag and throw up on me. Except the toast that Ava stole off the cops plate sitting next to us at Charlies. She sucked on that for awhile. Ava also undressed herself down to her underwear during breakfast. Awesome.

Clara continues to laugh, gigle and smile at her sisters crazy stunts. She LOVES her.
