Hot Dog!

The twins and Clara LOVE the Hot Dog song from The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! Here is a video of the twins singing and dancing to it!

The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Clara's cousins LOVE The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and so does Clara! She pretty much loves anything those boys do! She gets so excited when it comes on! She claps her hands and squeals when Mickey sings the theme song and the hot dog song! Clara's second favorite thing is Thomas the Train (also because of the boys!) She will drive the engines on the grounds and go mmmmmmmmmm! Private Harrison climbing the tree!Now he is surveying the war zone (above and below)! Notice the hat and the binoculars are backwards! Hiding from the enemy!
On Valentines day the boys had parties at God's House! They had a lot of fun and brought home all of these cute little cards and of course CANDY! Hudson opened all of his suckers and strategically place one in between each finger! Then he would like them all in one big lick (as pictured below)!
Clara's days are filled with so much fun! She gets to play with her three favorite little boys almost every day and she LOVES them! She pretty much copies everything they do and she takes off after them when they leave the room! She is such a fast crawler now! I think she is going to miss seeing them so much if we ever find a house! The offer we made the other day on the house in Bluff Park didn't work... the guy obviously wasn't going to negotiate! Oh well, the Lord has blessed us and watched over us in everything we have done. I truly believe that there is a house out there that is perfect! We will find it! Robby and I also just realized yesterday that we need to buy a second car! We never needed one in Cal because we just walked everywhere..... but not here! You will get run over if you walk places!!!! So, we are now shopping for a car and putting house hunting on a hold... I start back to work March 2 and we have no idea what we are going to do about a car!

Bluff Park

Well, Robby and I made an offer on a house in Bluff Park yesterday...... I am very excited and sort of nervous about it! Things have been really busy around here, but I promise to post some pictures this weekend. I am starting to work on March 2 at Children's Hospital as a sedation nurse! I am pumped to be working with children!

Little drummer girl!

Harrison has been playing the drums a lot lately, and normally Clara watches and laughs while we dance around to his music! But the other day, I was checking my email while Clara was playing on the ground and she started to play the drums! I was very impressed! It was adorable! Here is a picture above and I was able to get a video!

Clara's corral!

We are trying to learn to use a sippy! She is learning pretty quickly, but it is a bit messy! We got a corral for Clara. The intention was to keep the boys from running all over her and to keep me from having to hold her the entire time they are here..... It's as if she is saying "Hello! is anyone out there"! The boys love Clara so much! The very first thing they all did was jump into the corral to play with her! She LOVED it!
She is always wanting to be right in the middle of whatever they are doing! In this picture she was trying to play with Harrison, but he kept nudging her away! It was really cute. He really wanted her to watch him play with her toys!

Clara sleeps!

Clara after her nap. She is always standing up staring at the door when I c ome in to get her!
She smiles so big at me! I love her hair! Clara loves riding the train that Gigi gave to her! It used to be Thomas's and then it was the twins... so it has had a lot of love! She also loves this Baby Einstein toy that they gave her in the picture below! She gets so serious and tries so hard to push the buttons with her pointy finger! Well, Clara had her 9 month check up on Monday. Poor thing still had an ear infection. This is strike 3, one more and we are looking at tubes. That would be fine, I hear they are great and I feel so bad for the little thing. She weighs about 19 pounds now and is 27 inches long. That is about 25% for height and 50% for weight...... at least it's cute when you're little! Robby and I didn't make an offer on the house we found in Homewood. We just didn't feel right about it. We are praying that the perfect house it out there and that we will find it (and apparently it needs to cost $14.95 + tax)! I also really should have all of the loose ends tied up with my job before we take out a loan! Big news! Clara slept 10 hours last night! I felt like I had slept for 4 days when she woke me up this morning! That is the longest stretch of sleep I have had since I was 7 months pregnant! She slept from 7pm until 5:30 am! I can do that, I will just start going to bed at 9, and well, we all know that that is when I really want to go to bed anyways!!!

Clara lets go!

I was video taping Clara standing up the other day and she let go! She only stands for a fraction of a second but I was so excited! I think she will be walking sooner than I thought!

Standing!

Harrison is so much fun to play with! I love how big his imagination is and how sweet he is! He is also a funny little thing that likes to wear the hood of his jackets.... it cracks me up!Clara standing! She always does this cute little expression with her tongue when she gets excited!One hand! She is so happy and proud of herself!! Clara is getting so brave! She stands up and holds onto things all of the time now! She has recently started just holding on with one hand or letting go! It is great to watch how fast she is growing and learning! I love it!
