The whirlwind is over

It has been a long time since I have posted mostly because there has been about a billion things going on!

First all the new things going on and then to random commentary:

1) I left Clara for the first time with Matt and his parents and all went well! I missed her so much but it was good to get away
2) Clara's two top teeth broke through today!
3) While I was gone, Clara learned to take a bottle and she now does less of the army crawling and now does big girl crawling!
4) Clara learned how to clap her hands in the last two days. They are silent claps, but claps nonetheless.
5) When Clara is upset now, she goes "Boom Boom". THAT is funny. She is definately talking more and saying new things everyday.

After I got back from the Ozarks, Matt's dad was here and helped Matt and I unpack some. That was very helpful! On Thursday, he came back with Evelyn and on Friday, Scott and Robert came for the weekend. Needless to say, it was crazy around here.

Evelyn and Clara are SO different. Evelyn is all go go go (just like her daddy!) and she is SO LOUD! Her new name is Everyell Owen. And I cannot believe the amount of food this child consumes. For dinner, she had about 1/2 jar of veggies, some cereal, 1/2 jar of veggie/meat mixture and then some fruit on top of it! It is amazing the amount of food she packs in. Clara eats about a 1/3 of what Evelyn eats in one day. No wonder Evelyn has surpassed Clara in weight. Though Clara is still chunkier than Evelyn. You play hard you gotta eat a lot to make up for it.

Evelyn certainly tired out her grandfather who watched her for the weekend while Amanda and Ryan were at Chris Guyer's wedding. It was fun to see the two girls interact. I saw a zerbet conversation this morning between the two of them. It was pretty funny. And they would follow each other around the room and sort of fight over the same thing. But they really did seem to enjoy each other's company. When Evelyn would yell, Clara would just sort of look at her in a dazed and confused look. And it happened often because Evelyn likes to give her tarzan yells pretty often!

More later, gotta post the pictures.
