Matt's first father's day

Today was Matt's first Father's Day. Clara got him a few small presents (since we are on a BUDGET this month!) and he liked them all. There was a small album for his laptop bag, a weekly to do list mousepad, a to call to email to do list, and photo coasters for his desk!

Other than that, we went to breakfast yesterday (to beat the crowd) and lunch today. Clara made a HUGE ruckus at the Nest Cafe on Saturday. They seated us near the front and anyone who walked by commented on how cute and beautiful she is. She makes that sort of scene wherever she goes! It really is amazing. I don't like it when old ladies touch her face though, they always seem to.

Today we did some small projects around the house. Matt installed a new thermostat which is so cool. Clara did a good job of playing by herself as we did some stuff around the house. She got a little bored towards the end though!

OH, I can't believe that I almost forgot, we think she did her first sign today! It was sort of a repetitive motion with both hands to her mouth sort of like the EAT symbol that I have been doing. She did it right around dinner time! I really think that she did it because when Matt did it to her, she repeated the same motion. The book that I have said that when they do repeat the motions, it is often similar but a little different than what the parents do due to their less refined motor skills. Very neat though!

We also gave her a few pieces of finger food. Though she did not really understand the pickup and eat thing so we put it in her mouth for her. She liked it and kept on opening her mouth and sticking her tongue out for more. It was pretty funny. She might not be quite ready for it yet, I need to talk to my sister and see what she did and read some more. Definitely a question for the pediatrician next week.
