Oh sweet baby, you are getting so big already! You really seem to want to get busy lately. You love it when we sit you up, put you on your tummy, put a rattle in your hand, or lay you on the floor under a ceiling fan. You somehow scoot when we lay you on the floor, and you are so close to rolling over!
You are wearing 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. Our favorite thing to dress you in is the cotton Carter's dresses with the onesie snaps - so cute and so easy!! We had a very hot week last week, and you made it into the pool for the first time one evening after the sun was hidden. You liked it!!
Our sweet girl still has a case of "stranger danger." She loves our immediate family, but she doesn't like to be handed off. Although it is sometimes hard to hold you all of the time, you reward us with smiles quite a bit, and lately, giggles, too! One day you will learn that there are many, many other people that want to love on you!
You're not much of a napper, but we have made some progress by putting you on your tummy in the pack and play a couple of times. One day this week you napped for 2 hours - that was record-breaking!! You continue to sleep well swaddled at night. Consistently 10pm - 3am or even 5am sometimes! That is amazing!
You *love* Ella and Gabe. Ella is your little mama, and Gabe loves to bring you a "nonny" or a toy. I can tell that you're in a hurry to get going and play with them soon!
You're still nursing and taking a bottle two days a week while Mommy goes to work. You stay with Daddy and he loves taking care of you! He likes to take you on walks and take you to the green or yellow parks with the kids. It is a special time that I know he will look back on fondly!
Clara, we love you! We're so glad you're part of our family!
