8 weeks!

Wow, it's hard to believe that Clara has been with us for eight weeks.  It's one of those things -- it's gone so fast, but at the same time it's hard to imagine life without her!  She is such a good and happy baby.  We love her so much and feel so blessed to have her in our family.

I have been trying to stay on top of all of the photos we take of her.  With all things digital we end up taking hundreds (if not thousands) of photos and videos of her, so it's quite the task to make sure they all get put on the computer, backed up, and sorted.  I try to flag favorites every week or so, in hopes that the task of printing them and eventually making some sort of baby book won't be too overwhelming.

Here is one of my favorite videos of her from when we were still in the hospital.  It's actually Christmas and she is one day old.  Watch for the little chin quiver after the first hiccup.  It completely melts my heart.

Some lessons you learn the hard way.  At least now I'll never forget to take her headband off before another nap.

Learning to Snap

We're hoping she gets it down by the time she hits 2 months.

Then we'll move on to tying her own shoes.
