Our Baby

2 Years 10 Months

New Pictures added on July 26

Clara is now two years and ten months old. She started the month visiting her grandparents in Pensacola, Florida. She had a great time there. And her vocabulary and grammar also improved tremendously. She is becoming much more active (if that's even possible). She can now turn a somersault with no help and has very good balance. She's starting to show an interest in playing the various instruments we have around the house - without help, of course. She knows all her letters and their sounds, as well as all her numbers up to 20. Most of the time. She really likes doing things as a family.

I hope you enjoyed that.

Wake up, Mama!

Wow! Shoes to play with.

They're mine!

OK, I give up.

You can have the shoes. I'd rather chase Cassie.
