How amazingly fast the past six months of our lives have flown by. Parenthood has been an even better adventure than we had imagined it. Clara has changed so much since we first brought her home. She is sitting up strongly on her own (tipping only occasionally), loves to play hard and makes so many different sounds (most frequently grunts to display dissatisfaction). She is amazingly strong willed especially in her pursuit of items like the television remote, Mom's iphone and our beverages. This challenges us to adopt clever methods of diverting her attention. All in all, we are excited to see what Clara's next six months of development bring for our little family. 
On the weekend Clara turned 6 months old, Mommy was not feeling well, leaving Daddy to care for little Scout on his own all weekend. At first Clara put up a bit of a fight to this change (especially going down for naps) but by Sunday she had come around. While our planned activities didn't take place, Clara and Daddy had fun time together and the needed rest was greatly appreciated by Mommy. 
Nakey baby!

Clara hanging out with cousin Taylor in the nursery at Kent Lutheran Church, where Mommy played as a child. We attended a memorial service for a special family member, Norman. Clara was able to meet some family members for the first time too.
