Believe it or not, Clara is now four months old! She seems to be learning new skills every day (recent ones include sitting up in her Bumbo, rolling over, laughing, and singing) and I am constantly amazed at how much of a little person she is, sharing opinions and affection, absorbing the world around her with wide eyes, and responding with skepticism, bemusement, and joy, in turn.
The Clara says: "You're Fired!"
Clara was not sure what to think about Erin (actually, she was thinking about lunch).
Chillin' with Reider.
And Tad.
Clara was delighted to meet Mrs. Richman, her friend and Alice in Wonderland benefactor, who has over time contributed most of the nursery decorations.
June brought us to Richland for First Cousin Once-removed Becky's wedding. Clara brought her date (in pink, with floppy ears), and partied down with her Paddy,
Uncle Porkchop,
Bam, (we will have pictures of Bam's big birthday bash up soon)
and Nana Pete.
The reception was held at the same location as ours was, which was special for Heather and me. (Does anyone recognize the park in the background without all the snow?)
Hiking at Rancho Penasquitos Preserve on Father's Day. Beware the headless hiker.
Bunny and a warm lap. It doesn't get much better than this.
Clara got her first real whiffs of fried "fill-in-the-blank" at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, earlyJuly. Somehow even the giant hamburger stand couldn't hold her attention.
Tummy time, and playing with Mom and Dad.
Look out, Ringo: Clara is now playing the drums (with a little help from her Dad) on her Tupperware drum kit.
The Gallopin' Fun Horsey Jumperoo is the latest addition to our family.
So there's the catch-up. We're having a lot of fun, trying not to get too stressed out, learning as we go, and celebrating the little things. Thanks for celebrating with us.

So sweet. Can't believe she still has all her hair. Carter has definitely lost all his and is working on his second try at hair - which is mostly peach fuzz. Looks like you guys are having fun! I am jealous that you have a BOB - those are awesome! Thanks for the picture updates!
oh my gosh.. she is getting so big! We love her! And.. my goodness you guys could open a photography studio.. nice pics! We love you!
What a big girl she's becoming! I can't believe that i live so far away and don't get to pop down for the weekends! She looks so wonderful! I love all of the new photos. it looks like you guys are having a lot of fun! I think that my favorite photo is the one of you Drew with Clara over your shoulder. She's just hanging out. I can't wait until i get to see you all soon!! much love from all of us in Florida!
so i have made it a habit never to drink any sort of liquid while reading your blog b/c lest my computer screen be covered with snort juice at least once per post. today's winner: beware the headless hiker.
