Awww...

So I thought that I would update my blog with more pictures. I have realized that one day I would like to have it all printed out and put in a book so I need to treat it like a scrapbook, and if it were a scrapbook I would be putting a lot more pictures. I seriously am a little obsessed with the camera sometimes, I have always got it in my hand. Chris makes fun of me because I take like 20 pictures of one thing. I just say, why not when you have no limit?! So here are a few pictures I have taken the past week or so.

Clara's hair is now long enough to put a little clip in it! I love her hair and how it just stands up I think it is the cutest thing. Some people have questioned how she got blond hair and blue eyes. Chris and I both have lighter colored eyes, kind of a green blue..not sure the exact color. But we both also had really blond hair when we were little! I think Clara got Chris' color of eyes because his are a little lighter than mine. But hers are just ice blue I love it!

This picture is pretty funny. When she is happy sometimes she wrinkles her nose and starts..sniffling in and out really fast, I guess(I am not sure how else to explain it). The picture kind of made a double image of her but I was just glad that I got the face in a picture, I am working on getting a better one.

Clara loves her baby. She loves to give it loves and well swing it around. I love the one of her giving her baby kisses! She probably learned that from the thousands of kisses we give her.

Every Saturday we clean and Chris usually takes on the job of vacuuming because he is strong enough to do it while carrying Clara in her carrier. This is usually what happens, she falls asleep and just hangs there.

Clara started walking on her own with her little push toy! She was so excited she wanted to do it all day long. This is what happens when she gets to the wall, she wants to keep going and ends up pushing the toy up on the wall and looking at us like, c'mon I need to keep going!

The other night Chris and I decided to put a puzzle together and listen to a book on tape. This is how that plan turned out! Haha. Both Clara and Daddy had a long day and were VERY tired. I came around from doing the puzzle because it was so quiet, and this is what I found. So sweet!


Clara is LOVING her ball. She can say ball and will always try to find it in the room and when she does she gets so excited and says, "ba, ba, ba, ba..." AND she loves to kick the ball around the house while we hold her arms. She is a little 'socca playa' just like her Daddy.


Here are Chris and Clara cuddling after a long day. There is starting to be a pattern..Clara sleeping when she is with her Daddy, so cute I love to see them cuddle!


Clara discovered how to open the entertainment center and get out all of the movies!

Here is another picture of Clara sleeping on Chris. We had just gotten back from Stake Conference (Sat. evening session) and she was SO ready for bed!

In this picture you can see her new teeth! She now has three on the bottom and her two front teeth.


Clara has always LOVED to play with her nursing cover. She cuddles with it and then puts it over her head and then brings it back and does it all over again. She does that with her jammies and some blankets too. she is so funny, she just loves putting everything over her head for some reason.

This is one of my favorite things she does right now. She still does not officially crawl, she is so stubborn and hates it when we try to help her crawl on her hands and knees. She will throw a little tantrum and start hitting her head on the ground! THAT is not my favorite thing, but she "praycrawls" as Grandpa Kelly calls it. She clasps her hands together (she has always had her hands together ever since she was a newborn), and then she pulls herself forward, lets go, clasps them again so on. It is THE CUTEST thing ever! Everyone just has to laugh when they see it. Well it does not matter where in the kitchen I am standing, I could be straight ahead five feet, she has to crawl under the table, through all the chairs and then over to the bar and usually under the stools, then to wherever I am. Even when she is upset or trying to get to me fast! I think she thinks she must go through an obstacle course to get to me! I always laugh so hard at her. She is so funny! I sound like a mom don't I?

Last of all another picture of her falling asleep. She has been so active lately she wears herself out and will fall asleep without nursing first which is super strange for her. But it is so cute. Here she is asleep on my leg, I love that she comes to cuddle with me! So far I love this age the most, she reacts to us and will talk to us, smile, cuddle, give hugs, laugh, and so much more. I just gets better and better! I am totally obsessed and in love with my little Clara!
