clara vs. einstein

one was a theoretical physicist, the other is 10 months old
one won the Nobel, the other recently learned how to clap
one developed the theory of relativity, the other likes to lick shoes
what do they have in common? it's all in the hair

it's always fun when grandma (and grandma great) comes

Mom and Grandma came to visit a few weeks ago, and we had lots of fun. It was grandma's first time meeting Clara and they were fast friends.

Clara also appreciated having someone play peek-a-boo with her over and over and over and over.......

happy halloween from...

well, you get it

because i'm bored and my mom told me i should

Steven is catching up with an old mission companion, and I can only catch a few words of his speedy Spanish, so instead of trying to eavsdrop I decided it was time to post a quick Clara update:



Not only has Clara become the happiest baby, she has been trying her hardest to walk. She is just crusing along furniture and walls right now, but the past month or so the only reason she would crawl is to get to something to pull herself up on. It doesn't matter what it is either, a stuffed animal, a person's leg, or even another crawling baby.



Here is just one of the many pictures we have of our favorite baby.

p.s. if you know my sister brittany you should go over to her blog (flint fam) and pester her to update, because she definately has something to write about!

baby faces

Since it is now Autumn, of course we are preparing for winter. I think the first snow last year was sometime in October.

clara and the zucchini

no other description needed

as an addendum to the previous post for all those concerned: Clara's crib mattress has since been moved down, so there is no risk of her toppling over the rail
