Clara's now 4 months old

t's hard to believe that Clara's already 4 months old. We just had her doctor visit where we found out that she weighs 12 pounds 3 ounces which puts her at 25% for weight. She's already 24 inches long.

Clara had her 4 month shots on April 15th. She got really
sleepy an hour after the doctor appointment. Jim took this picture when I was at work on the 16th, fever day. The fever only got up to 100.2, but Clara got a few doses of Tylenol and a few baths to cool her down

She loves playing with her toes, eating rice cereal, and rolling over. She is just starting to "swim" which I guess means that crawling will be coming soon so we'll have to start child proofing the house. Yipes, mobile child! I like being able to take her in the car seat or sling whenever we want to go so that will be a change.

Clara's already developed quite the personality. She's got a pout that will melt your heart, screams when she's not done playing yet, and belly laughs at funny faces. She's still our "Content Clara", except during the "I'm hungry" evening hours. We hope that evenings will be a little easier now that she will take formula.

Well since this is my first blog I guess I also wanted to share the major events of 2007....
+ Clara was born April 14th, 2007 at 4:15 in the afternoon. She weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces.
+ Jim and I both turned the big 30 this year. I arranged for Jim's college friend Kurt to fly in for his birthday and then threw him a surprise Indian BBQ party with about 45 people on the big day.
+My sister Val came out to visit for a week in June so she's had a little time to play with Clara, but I know that she would love to be closer.

Well hopefully this works because I'd like to keep all of you updated with our new little family more often.
Toodles, Tricia
