What A Difference A Year Makes!

I can hardly believe it has been a year since Clara was born.  If I hadn't been here to witness her growth, I really don't think I would believe it.  She has been so much fun.  She has transformed from sweet little angel into a busy, messy, curious tornado of activity.  She is beloved by her siblings (she is now wary of the boys but runs into Lucy's arms when Lu gets home from school) and parents.  She walks in the most adorable wide-stanced, bowlegged fashion that makes me giggle quite a bit.  She gives a deep grunt when we ask her what a dog says.  She is just starting to say Mama and Dada.  She tries to put her shoes on and loves to use the brush to rub across her bald little scalp.  She likes to hold and lick baby dolls.  She loves to eat.  She apparently is starving because she is constantly wanting food.   She loves to go outside and visit all the dogs in the neighborhood.  She loves to hold a cell phone (or anything for that matter) up to her ear and say "hi." She goes absolutely beserk when we sing during FHE;  she can barely contain her glee (also in primary when singing time rolls around, she really expresses a huge amount of excitement).  She has been a go getter;  anxious to crawl, anxious to walk, and now is discovering she can climb up on to things (SCARY).  We love this little baldy and are so lucky to have her in our family.  We love you little Gocho! (Rob has more nicknames for the kids than I can keep track of, but this one seems to have stuck).  May you grow some hair in your second year, may you continue to be adored and beloved, and most of all may you remain uninjured as you climb up on things you shouldn't.  Happy Birthday little Clara!
