Walking Backwards

Clara walks backwards on command now. She has been able to walk backwards for a while and thinks she is big stuff and claps for herself after walking backwards.

Summertime!

Someone gave us a feed sack full of sweet corn-70 ears! Needless to say this morning was filled with shucking, boiling, and freezing corn. Clara enjoys corn on the cob and sat in her chair and ate an entire ear while I was working. I love the summer and all the fresh fruits and veggies. The other night we had BLT sandwiches, corn on the cob, watermelon, and margaritas--it doesn't get any more summer than that! (Yes that is the color of our countertops, AS SOON AS we sell our house in Liberty we are updating this kitchen!)

Clara's New Tricks

Clara is in imitation mode and learning new tricks every day.

Signs for more, milk, nakee/bath time, all done, and book. She still loves panting like a dog.

Can say:
banana-nana
outside-ou
up-uh
all done-ah

When asked how big is Clara she replies by raising her hands way above her head.

Loves to blow kisses and wave bye.

Learning how to crawl back down the stairs after she gets up.

Loves to shut doors.

She loves to swing her arms and clap while she is walking. I really need to get this on video b/c it is so darn cute!

Spins around in circles.

After taking a drink she says 'aahh.'

Loves to smell flowers and say 'mmmm.'

The Past Month

This summer has flown by! Here are a few things we've been doing.



Lots of play dates with Holden. Slayton joined us this day.



Showing off my 'oohh' expression and my first skinned knee.



Hanging out at grandma and grandpa's pool.






Having fun playing with my cousin Callie.


Clara loves to sit and play like this, I just think it is cute.

Finding a new way to push my shopping cart.



Funny face.

Happy Father's Day


Eric has been teaching summer school this month so we could buy a Jeep. He's had his eye on this one since January. We're looking forward to lots of fun in the sun on country roads. CJ enjoys the wind in her hair.
Happy Father's Day Eric!
