Jumping Girl

Our girl is constantly jumping. We figured that she'd love the Johnny Jump UP but the first few times we tried, she freaked out and cried. Now she loves it!

Water Baby

Clara went for her first swim about a month ago. She LOVES the water! Our gym has family swim twice a week where they open up the warm water therapy pool for the kids. So far it's been a great introduction to the water for her.

She like to stare at her friend Abigail and watch all of the other kids splash around.

Does she have a future in swimming??? I guess we'll all have to wait and see! :)

How fast she changes!

Since I last updated our blog in early December, Clara has changed A LOT. She has had many firsts of things.

First time eating rice cereal. (She's an old pro at food now. Her favorite is squash.)

First time riding her rocking horse.

First push up... Gotta start her early if she's going to the Olympics! :)

First time with a sippy cup.

First time sitting up from lying on her tummy.

Twins

As if Clara didn't already look just like her dad...

add a sweet potato beard and...

you have twins!!!

Cayucos, CA

We got to spend the week after Christmas on the Central California coast with Will's side of the family. Clara loved watching and playing with her cousins!


The girls enjoying the afternoon sun on the beach.

We had a crab feed for New Year's Eve. It was awesome!

In Cayucos it's an annual tradition to do a polar bear plunge New Year's morning. The water was a lovely 58 degrees. Will and I may just be crazy enough to do it next year.

More Christmas

Just a few pics of the family at Christmas...





Grandma and Grandpa Newman

Uncle Abe

We tried to put Clara in a beanie too but she didn't want to keep it on so we gave up!

Baby's First Christmas

Clara loved her first Christmas! She had a great time opening presents. As soon as she had them open they all went right in her mouth.

She made out like a bandit. Our living room looked like a toy store.

Here she is wearing the perfect Christmas morning outfit...a santa onesie, Uggs and her elf hat(thanks Auntie Sarah).

Clara helped mom decorate the tree. Here she is hanging up her first ornament.
