Heather has had a couple of big firsts recently: her first birthday with our newly expanded family, and her first Mother's Day! We celebrated in style with a trip to the zoo (Clara slept in the Bjorn for nearly the entire time, but we like to think she had an enjoyable and educational time) and the beach (more sleeping). Even if she acts like a sack of potatoes for much of these events, life is still much more fun with Clara involved.

I guess you have to be specific when you ask a stranger to take a picture for you: Could you please get a shot of us, the giraffes, AND their heads? Thanks.

When you can see the heads, they can be a little weird. Here's the pretzel trick.

Clara helped me make breakfast in bed for Mother's Day.

Incredulous Clara.

Hi guys! We love all your new photos, especially the one without the giraffe heads in it. ha. Clara looks amazing. even if she does sleep all the time. Wish we could see you all in Ojai this weekend. What a bummer. You sure you can't swing by Hollywood, Fl on your way up north?? Have a great trip and say hello to everyone for us. Much much love! your sisters
I loved looking at all the pictures! Fun! Thanks for sharing.
Heather,
What brand is your sling? I love it! It's so cute! Do you like using it? We have a Bjorn (and love it) but a sling seems intriguing too.

Congrats you two on a beautiful little girl! It was so fun to see all the pics on this blog.
I posted before I was done typing. Whoops! Wanted to say that you look like you are having a ton of fun with your new bundle, but don't blink or you'll find that she is a toddler! (Check out our blog to see what I mean.) And then you don't have any time to even post on your blog. You are a beautiful little family! Hope to see you up in here sometime, would love to meet your little girl.
dude, dialogue about the giraffe heads, wicked funny
Great pictures - thanks for posting them! She is just a doll! Carter is glad to be betrothed to such a cutie!
Love the last pic, where the hoodie is zipped just right for keeping the pacifier in - genius!
i'm pretty much dying of laughter and a cuteness attack.
oh my goodness! We LOVE looking at all your cute pics! Melea.. kept pointing out Clara and saying that she can't wait to get a little bigger so she can hold Clara and teach her lots of things. :) It was great seeing you guys this weekend!
