She Turned One!

Our girl did it - she turned one!
It was a low-key birthday with Daddy out of town, but we still did some celebrating. We can't believe it's been a year since this little lady joined our family.

Here's a video of Clara showing off one of her new tricks. She learned this from Grandma Ann while she was visiting. I think you'll be able to tell which part is her favorite...
I couldn't get the video to load here for some reason, so
YOU'LL NEED TO CLICK HERE TO WATCH IT ON YOU TUBE.

At her 1 year appointment, she weighed 19 lbs. 10 oz. She continues to have a sweet laid-back personality and wants to do and eat everything her brother does.
Look at how helpful she is in the kitchen.
She is always interested in everyone's purse, and Grandma Ann gave her her very own purse for her birthday.

It has all the essentials: keys, mirror, credit card, bracelet, cell phone. She loves it!

Sister being silly before cupcake time. She finally got her first tooth at 11 months, and we're still sitting pretty at two teeth as of now.

We're going to have her actual cake next weekend when Daddy is back from all his traveling, but we did have cupcakes with Uncle Matt, who was visiting on her birthday. There was a lot more experimenting than actual eating. Oh well, it's her birthday.

We Skyped with Daddy so he could see his baby girl on her first birthday.
Adam waving "hi" to Daddy.
Adam now calls his sister Clue-ra. Adam is a great big brother, and now that Clara is a bit older, they are having more and more fun together. Adam asks to hold Clara and is always willing to give hugs. He has also become more concerned for her safety and comfort, bringing her the paci when she is sad and saying "be careful, Clue-ra" when she gets a little too close to Pooser.

Adam does "fist bump" with Daddy.

Happy birthday, Sweet Girl! We love you.
