Clara has really picked up on self-feeding in the past week or so. And each day she seems to get a little bit more food into her mouth on her own. She gets a little wild, though, and likes to sweep her food all over with her hands. We found out her favorite so far is chicken. Brynn was a total fruit eater all the way, and Clara seems to be our carnivore. We had tacos tonight and realized she fits right into this family with her love of them too. She scarfed down the (plain) hamburger, cheese, and some tortilla bits. Big girl!
Baby sister was supposed to be lying down for a nap on Saturday afternoon, but as I was rocking her in my lap in her room, she kept sitting up and looking for big sister out in the family room. So, I had to give up on that and they played together for a bit. Mostly Clara chewed on her favorite thing ever, her sock, and Brynn was off doing something else within five minutes. :-) But it was very fun and heartwarming to see them playing together for any amount of time. I have often wondered how much they'll actually play together growing up with this many years between them.
On Sunday we celebrated Grandpa Don's 80th birthday at their farm with aunts, uncles and cousins. Many of Dana's cousins have children now as well, and many of them are close in age to our two which is so fun.
Reese and Clara are only four days apart in age. It was hilarious to watch them together.

Good night! Clara has taken to sleeping on her tummy now. She's so snuggly; I'd love to just crawl into that crib next to her and cuddle with her!
