Beginning

So I am late in the game on starting a blog but I am at a turning point in my life so let's keep some information on it. Clara is growing so fast that I have already forgotten when she has started to smile and laugh and do all the cute things she does. Possibly this format will allow me to do that... remember the important things that my brain is apparently incapable of storing at this moment in time. And I know for certain that I do want to remember these things.

She is four months today. My big girl. She is a determined and stubborn little one, I wonder where she got that from :)! She tries to sit but can only do it when she does not see something more interesting than the floor. It is funny how much better she can sit when she is tired and not so excited to look around. She is getting better at being on her tummy but has little tolerance for it when she is not in the right mood. She is a good sized girl, growing very well for me. So I have no worries on that there. She is SO happy. I love her smiles and her laughs. It is so great to have a baby that loves people and to see particularly Matt and I. She loves to have her neck kissed. And I am more than happy to provide those kisses!!

Right now, I am sitting in our new house! I am waiting for Matt to come back with the movers and we can finally start living in the house that we have been dreaming of for years. It is not the perfect house, but near darn it considering we don't have all the money in the world. There are a lot of small projects to do, but I am almost glad they are so we can make this place our own. We already had all the rooms painted and it looks so much better. I love being surrounded around colors that I know I love and feel good in.

Clara is napping right now. After screaming for about, oh 10 minutes now. She HATES to sleep just like her daddy. It is so funny that Evelyn is like her dad and LOVES to sleep. Clara is good in the morning but as the day goes on, she resists the nap more and more.

The cats were hilarious last night. When we drove out to the new house at around 2 yesterday, Matt took Clara and I had the cats. Smithers cried the whole time out here and got louder the faster I drove and the more I tried to play music OVER him. When we got here, Smithers walked around the whole houes yelling all day and night. It was getting a little annoying :). For a while, Monty got his crate back open and stayed in there for a while. Then he decided that he wanted OUT and tried to escape through the garage door.

OK now that the baby is asleep. I am going to go pet my new washer which just came in this morning. FYI, I hate commercials. I really want TIVO back in order.
