Our Baby

2 Years 5 Months

New Pictures added on January 19

Clara is now two years and five months old. She is all ready for our Christmas trip back to Kansas City and Pine Bluff. Clara's vocabulary is growing rapidly and also her ability to construct coherent sentences. She has a very good memory. She has all her books memorized, as well as the dialog and songs for all her movies. She'll recite with the characters on screen. She is becoming much calmer around the cats and they are letting her pet them, which makes her very happy. She's fascinated by reindeer and snowmen.
