Two Months Old

Clara Rae is two months old now. For some reason she seems older to me; more about three months old. I'm not sure if it's because she's quite a bit bigger than Brynn was at this same age or what it is. 

Clara had her check-up this past Monday and had her shots which was terrible for mom. She is still very healthy and doing really well. She weighs 10 lbs which puts her in the 22nd percentile and tenth percentile in height. 

She is really starting to coo and talk to us now which is so fun. And she smiles more all the time. 

In the below photo you can see her cheeks and onto her shoulder there look reddish and bumpy. It does seem to ebb and flow throughout the day, so I wasn't sure if it was baby acne and/or if her skin was getting irritated. She spits up often, especially when she's sleeping/lying down. If I don't notice it right away to move her out of the wet spot she's created, then she just lays in it, and I thought perhaps that would irritate her skin like that.


Up until the past couple of nights, she has still been waking up once during the night. She eats and then goes right back to sleep. I am hoping the past couple of nights now aren't a fluke, but rather us on our way to a full night's sleep again!

Clara will be baptized at the end of this month and will wear the gown Brynn wore (and I had also worn it when I was baptized). Brynn is very excited for the baptism and is always asking me about it. She is most excited to be up front with us during the service. Clara sure fills out the gown a lot better than Brynn did. :-)



Smiles!



He he. I just thought her expression in this one was funny.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...
