2 months

Clara's cheeks are growing by the day!!  It's been over 2 months now since we brought this little bundle home and every time we blink she changes!



Clara weighs 12.4 (75th percentile) pounds and is 24 inches long (98th percentile).  I can't get enough of her little rolls.

She is smiling a lot, crying a lot less, and sleeping so well at night! The kids absolutely adore her, especially Calvin who likes to be about 1 inch from her face whenever he talks to her. : )

We're finally getting back into our normal (sort of) routine around here which has been really nice. 

Now if only we can get Clara to take a bottle.  I'm going away on a girls weekend in a few weeks and she wants NOTHING to do with the thing.  Hopefully she'll get it soon or my girls weekend may include an addition girl! 

We love our Clara Elizabeth to pieces!!  

Spring break "staycation"!



We almost took a trip this spring break, but decided that since Clara was only a few weeks old and didn't love the car (she's better now!) that we should probably do something local. We got a hotel a couple towns away and had a great time eating out, swimming in the pool and just hanging out together.  After our evening in the hotel, we headed to the city for a fun day at the Navy Pier Children's museum. 



The kids love Red Robin (and we kind of do too) so that's where we headed for dinner.  I don't think I have many pictures of Caleb with his tongue in his mouth these days.




They swam for hours and gave Glen quite a work out!



Clara did this all weekend. 



 Some very serious building going on here….



 And bubble making…



and dinosaur digging….




I think Cal would have sawed for hours if we'd have let him! 


We had such a fun time!  2 days away with our newly expanded family was just enough.  Maybe next year we'll venture a little further.
