Clara is Crawling

Clara is 8 months old now, and has started to crawl!! I love watching a baby learn new things. It is so amazing to me how one day they can't do something, and then the next day they can. I also love the 'crawling baby' stage. A crawling baby is just so cute to me. Clara has also already learned how to crawl up the stairs!! Life just got busier for me.

 

She made it to the top, and off she goes!

Sleeping

I always peek in and check on my kids before I go to bed, and sometimes I find them sleeping in strange positions, like sideways, or on the floor. My favorite however, has to be finding Makenna sleeping with a baby doll tucked under her shirt. Silly Girl!

ConAgra Foods Ice Rink - Year 2

Last night, we were able to make our 2nd annual trip to the ConAgra Foods Ice Rink. Last year we went in the afternoon, and the rink was almost empty; this year we went in the evening, so it was a little bit busier, but it was also fun because of all the lights they had up. Having Clara with us also made this year a little bit more complicated because only one of us could be out on the ice with the big kids while the other would stay with Clara. Nonetheless, we still had a fun time, and were happy to continue with this tradition.
