Clara's Thread!

[finn's mom]

And, David just bought me a studio set up for the house...I really need to start making some money to help out, but we both want me to be able to continue to stay home with Clara. So, we're hoping that I can make a little with photography. Here are some of the practice shots I've taken of Clara with the new backgrounds and lighting.











And, my husband and Finn for good measure

Of course we love the Clara pictures, but that last one of Finn is such a handsome shot! We're kinda used to him looking more goofy than stately!

Thanks for sharing your pictures! Clara is such a lovely little girl. I like how you captured different expressions on the last set up pictures- Clara looks like a happy baby! Good luck on your new venture.

Awwww Clara is sooo cute!!!! Already 1 year...wow! Time is flying by so fast, isn't it? I can't believe how quickly our little ones are growing up!! All of the babies are so adorable!!!

My baby turned 9 months just 3 days ago. He has two teeth (which he got at 7 months), crawls all over the house, tries to hold every other thing and pulls up (which means I have to keep a CONSTANT eye on him!). He calls me "ma ma ma", says "mummm" when he wants food, calls his daddy "a-ba ba ba", calls the birdies "buh", and just babbles a lot. He has captured our hearts completely, and we just adore our sweet little boy. His smile and laugh makes my heart melt every time! He is just so precious. I still breastfeed him, and he is eating many things now. He eats all sorts of fruits, veggies, rice, barley, oats, some chicken, but he is not very fond of it, and yogurt (which he loves with fruit). I can't believe how much I LOVE being a mom.

Its funny how while we are supposed to teach our children everything, in the process, they also teach us so much. I truly feel they teach us what life is all about, and they fill that part of our hearts that we never knew was missing before they came into our world.

Popcornbird, I totally agree. They definitely teach us a lot, daily! I just weaned Clara this month. She is drinking cow's milk from a sippy cup 100% of the time. Sometimes I miss the breastfeeding, but it's nice that David can feed her now. Yeah, time flies! She's 13 months now! Crazy!

I like ALL the pictures of Clara, but especially the one in her car seat with the pink cup and her "toothy" smile! Belated Happy First Birthday, Clara! And I am totally with Karen on the last picture of Finn - very stately! Best wishes for your new business!

What a cutie! It's true that they are growing so fast. But the nice thing is that they are interesting at any age. Valentine will be 3 in a month, and I like every step. When they are babies it's a very special time, but as they grow I find it even more interesting
