Standing in her crib

Clara's latest thing is that putting her to bed has become QUITE an issue. She sits and stands in her crib now and does not know how to get down. It does not help that the weather has been quite warm lately so she is also sweating her ass off. Matt went in there once and he said that she was grabbing the top of the crib and just SCREAMING her head off because she was not ready to go to bed. We have taken to taking her out of her crib and hanging out with her until she is tired and then we put her down. So basically she has been going to be at like 9 o'clock! It makes for later evenings because I still need to get some stuff done after she goes to bed. Not sure what to do about that one!

My trip to the Ozarks is coming up closer and closer and I am getting pretty nervous and upset about leaving Clara. I am getting really sad about it and it makes me sort of upset just thinking about it. AHHH!!!!

Clara is really moving now. She is not crawling like a normal baby yet, she sort of pushes along with her left leg and her right one sort of flails about. She is moving to where she wants to now though and I think she feels better about that. She still makes quite a lot of noise when she does it though which is pretty funny. I was joking that she does it as a last resort and pretty much is not pleased when she HAS to crawl :).

The gym class is going well. The new session started and now there are 8 kids in the session. Our original teacher, Miss Elizabeth, had to leave for some reason, and there is a new lady now, Miss Terri, who is OK but a bit too crazy energetic. She made me tired. I liked how laid back Miss Elizabeth did the class. We signed up again for the next session, so we will see how that goes!

This Friday we are going to join the MOMS club and going for a stroller walk. Hopefully it will be fun and the weather will be good. It did not rain for most of July and June and in the last week, it has rained a lot so hopefully it will clear up! According to weather.com, it will.

Clara has been eating VEGGIE BOOTY, and loves it. They are sort of these corn/rice puffs covered in spinach and kale. I like them and the LOVES them. She gets really excited when you start feeding her (she pants like a little puppy) and gets annoyed when you do not feed her fast enough.
