Our Baby

2 Years 9 Months

New Pictures added on June 22

Clara is now two years and nine months old. She is absorbing information at an amazing rate. She's a very good mimic, so you have to be very careful what you say around her. And it's not just her parents. She will repeat back anything she hears from anyone. She's showing a lot of interest in music, but only in spurts. Same with art. She likes to read, especially before bed. And she likes to watch Pooh on DVD. She's becoming much better with the cats, but still tends to get a little exuberant. She's had a tough time this month. First Daddy went to a conference in Anaheim for 5 days and then Mama was in Paris for a week. Clara really likes having the whole family together.

The water sure is nice here in Florida.

I like to shovel the water in my bucket.
