April Birthdays-- Clara Irene is one!

Clara Irene is one!  Can't believe it.  What a year.  Clara is 26 lbs (90%) and 30.5 inches (75%).  She has had so many ear infections that we put tubes in her ears.  She started walking about 10 months and hasn't slowed down at all.  Climbing is her thing these days. 

This little (okay not so little) baby has been snugly (especially with Brian) stubborn, goofy, loves her sisters usually, doesn't believe she needs to sleep at night, is very very independent and is into EVERYTHING while being a roly poly bundle of fun most of the time.  We have enjoyed what she brings to our family and look forward to her next year of life. 

First here are a few old pictures of Easter egg dying.  I am way behind on blogging sorry. 

had to wait for dad to get home to assist on this whole thing

Clara "beara"

and her crazy sisters!

Life got busy so her cake was made by professionals, turned out cute though and she didn't seem to mind. ;)  This was the best cake smash out of all 4 for sure!  Maybe because she had her sisters egging her on, but she sure got the hang of it.  

And the flip book of her enjoying her cupcake

this face is one of our favorites--she does it on demand now.  goober

her hair looks blond in these, but its actually the darkest of all the kids so far.  Blue eyes though, 4 for 4 on that!  

finally got the hang of this present thing--thanks for the super cute gifts, they were all a hit!

Check out the one below--Clara's stare down of Evie for taking her new book

Hahaha, good stuff.  And yes, she does usually wear clothes, but after supper sometimes its just easier to strip her down to a diapers.  She's happy, cleaner and its hot so win win.  :)

And the after party dress up--courtesy of Savannah, necklace and all.  Happy birthday Clara beara, we love you and can't wait to see what the next year brings for you.
