A cute shot of Clara in her apple hat. Scout used to wear hats all of the time when she was younger, but now it is a completely different story. It was all we could do was to get a shot like this (taking it off). Little Scout is "talking" all the time now. She says "ya" to almost all questions and babbles all of the time. She will mimic things that she hears, but still is fairly limited in her use of words. The sign language, gestures and noises help her to communicate pretty effectively with us. This past week she has latched on to a new book full of photographs of different objects. She loves to sit on our lap and have us name the different objects that she points to - we are so delighted with this adorable zest for knowledge!
This past weekend, we had a fun visit from Uncle Den, Auntie Mikki, and cousins Braeden and Kennedy. Clara had so much fun playing with them and cousin Tay, of course! Our family gathered at Grandma Elaine's place and had a nice time together.
Grandma Jan stayed with us a few days since while on her spring break. Clara has so much fun with Grandma and we kept really busy during her visit, shopping and meeting up with Auntie Pat and cousins Julie and Daniel.
Despite all the fun, our girl has had another tough week teething. Two of her new teeth have cut though, but she still seems to be uncomfortable, drooling all over with a runny nose. She also is really clingy and is not sleeping well at night. Poor little gal! Hopefully this phase will end soon. Since being a walker, she has become such an explorer! We have our family room child-proofed and gated off while our living room and dining room are not. It is a treat for Clara to roam around and check out all of the interesting new things in those rooms.
Above she checks out a decorator ball with Daddy and below a wood box with Mommy.
