Clara

Clara, I love her little personality. She is much more of a handful then my bigger two were at her age.  But I love that about her.  I love seeing her phases.  When she started to be more loving.  Giving hugs and kisses saying "aww".  She started noticing her baby sisters, giving them hugs or even pulling "no no's " out of there mouths and putting bottles or sippy's in there mouth!  She cracks me up when you pull her arm up to tickle and then when you stop she puts her arm back up so you can tickle her again!

Since switching her from crib to toddler bed, I have never been good at doing her afternoon naps.  She would never stop her pace to lay down to take one.  So she takes her naps with mommy.  Sometimes she is just tired to where she takes me by the hand to the bed and we lay together until she falls asleep.  Other days all I have to do is hum to her the ABC's and she falls straight to sleep.  I adore nap times with her.

Every once in awhile she gets sat in a high chair and every time after she finishes I am happy to have her at the table.  She can gets so messy!  Food all over her face hands chest and hair!!!  Although she makes a mess on the table and the floor its no where near what the mess she gives in a high chair.

I feel so blessed that she looks so much like her daddy.  I cant get over how beautiful she is because of her mirror image of her daddy.  She doesnt know it yet.  But she holds the key to her daddy's heart.  He adores her.  He does so much to help me raise her.  Sometimes I have to remind myself that he is real.  That this is what a daddy is suppose to be.  I didnt get to have the help I do with her with my big two kids and I didnt get that from my own Dad or Step Dad's.  (not that they were bad dad's)
