So much to post about... so little time to actually sit down at the computer.
Crazy how once they start walking, they don't seem like those sweet little babies anymore. Of course, Clare's still my sweet little baby in one sense, but she seems so much...bigger.
She finally took her first steps two weeks ago, on a Wednesday. We were so excited for her, but after that first day, she seemed to forget all about walking and didn't try again until a week later. Now she's taking six or seven steps at a time. Definitely seems like a big girl!
After her first word of "Daddy", she's added woof-woof, vroom-vroom, flower and balloon(pronounced buhl). Still won't say "Mommy" though. She knows where my nose is and can point to it when asked, but refuses to point to me or say mama. Oh well. I know she loves me. ;-)
Her newest favorite things:
* throwing the ball for Molly (all of two feet)
* walking or crawling to her high chair when it's time to eat
* making the "more" sign when she wants another cookie
* pulling the flowers off my marigolds
* twisting and turning during diaper changes (not mom's favorite thing)
* organizing things. Today I gave her a box with a bunch of canning jar rings and she dumped them all out then put them back in a neat little row. How can I make sure she keeps this neat streak when she's four? when she's a teenager?
So we've been enjoying our summer with our little girl. At some point I'll post pictures of our latest adventures.

I love that she's walking! I wanna see! Soon enough I suppose. You guys will be around again when we're up in August? So maybe you and Clare can come out to the camp again. :)
Brad was just asking me the other day if I knew if Clare was walking yet. It seems like ages since we've seen any of you! We really need to get together sometime. Maybe have you over for dinner sometime next week?
