Halloween

What exactly do you do with a newborn on Halloween? It's not like she can go door to door trick-or-treating. Our solution...drive to people's houses so they can see Clara in her very cute but funny costume.

Our little "sweet pea" was such a good sport. She smiled the whole time even as we tortured her by shoving her in this costume 5 or 6 different times.

Wait a second...these hands are mine!!!

This past week Clara finally figured out that the things attached to the end of her arms belong to her. They have been going in her mouth for quite some time but now she has taken to grabbing things. It started with hair, necklaces, beards, and earings, but she is now in love with grabbing and pulling on the bugs hanging from her playmat. She has also discovered stuffed animals. Her duck is the current favorite.

Clara's First Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time visiting the pumpkin patch with Clara. Grandma, Grandpa, and our friend Jennie came along for the fun!
