Wonderful new development on the feeding front. PAPER PLATES! So easy to clean up! Ok, why didn't I think of this months ago?? Feeding Clara has never been easier... or has it? Paper is much easier for her to dump upside down and then throw off the tray. I guess using no plate was easiest... but she's gotta learn somehow! At least that's what everyone keeps saying...

So Clara is a walking fool. She is getting faster and steadier. When she gets super excited, she wants to run. That doesn't quite happen for her yet, but she tries!

In addition to knowing what sound Cookie Monster makes (she growls when asked or when she sees him) she now tries to bark like a dog. It's a closed mouth, very small dog bark, but it's so cute!!
