Clara is 1!

Clara celebrated her first birthday this weekend with a great party. She had lots of fun and it was so nice that her Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle and Cousins came. We are so lucky to have this little girl in our family. She is happy, smart, beautiful and has a great little sense of humor. Liah continues to develop a very good bond with Clara and Clara squeals with delight when she sees Liah every morning. Here are some pictures from the party...

Pictures and Update

I can't believe we have been home for just two months with Clara. She is doing so well and has fit into our family perfectly. I get why we had to wait for over four years now... she just was not here yet. Liah is doing very well in her big sister role and Clara adores her! Clara is now walking... a lot, she can say the following: yes, hi, bye, fish (she says 'sh' but we understand what she means), mama, da, and maybe a couple of others that I am forgetting. She can jump, bounce, clap (she claps for herself whenever we give her praise), dance and is ready to have a good time almost always. She does not have much regard for the rules in the house and generally goes to the things that are off limits to her. She loves to grab the remote, shoving it into her month before we can get to her. She understands the word 'no' but gives it no respect... and we love her so, so much.
