Our Baby

Three Years

New Pictures added on November 30

Clara is now three years old. She is 39 inches tall and weighs 35 pounds. She's growing every day (a lot!). She's speaking more clearly and her vocabulary is quite large. She likes to read when the mood strikes her and she's learning to recognize words and sound them out - mainly letters so far. She's very sociable when she gets over being shy, and that usually doesn't take too long.
