Happy New Year! It has been a while since our last entry. Clara had a wonderful Christmas with family both in Ohio and Texas.

She took her first airplane ride and did pretty well. She really wanted to get down and run around in the plane.

Clara’s new nanny is wonderful and very interactive with her. Clara has started to paint and draw with crayons, but I think her first love is to dance around the house to music (think Flashdance, “Maniac” song and running in place). We have moved to solid foods completely and there really is not much that Clara won’t eat. The exception seems to be peas here lately. She loves to watch her Daddy cook and stirs her Cheerios in a pot like an expert chef.  Guacamole appears to be a favorite.

Clara’s teeth are coming in quickly now and she has 4 out and 2 that are very close. It is amazing how quickly they pop out. Clara seems to handle it pretty well, she just chews on everything lately.

Wes and I are going to be taking Clara for her first haircut this weekend, so we will let you know how that goes. I am thinking it is going to be similar to trying to bathe a cat.   We hope you all are having a wonderful 2008 so far, and stay tuned for more updates!
