I love this carrier so so so much! We tried out two different positions today, and this is the "explorer." I have bronchitis/upper respiratory junk going on, and so I've been wearing this mask to protect Clara as much as I can. I don't feel badly, just tire more easily than usual. I nearly lost my voice, but I think that's passed, now!

I just think Clara looks super cute in this video, so I wanted to share it! I love how her fists are clinched, she does that now and it's so cute.

Aww, she's adorable - but you knew that! She doesn't try to grab your mask?

Nope, she's just gotten to where she is reaching out and smacking stuff, but not really intentionally grabbing things.

Kari, she is just adorable. I was thinking that the dress your aunt made would be a beautiful baptism gown. It is stunning!

I thought so, too! I don't know that we're getting her baptised, but if we do, that's what she'll wear!

Clara and I fly to South Carolina tomorrow morning, wish us well! I hope she does all right. I am really going to miss David while we're gone, though. We'll be in SC for ten days, and he just had hip surgery and is home bound. Excited to see my family but really sad that David won't be there with us. I'm looking forward to Christmas with him and Clara, though. Can't believe it's right around the corner! EEK.

Night, all!

Clara did really well at her appointment today! She is 13.5 pounds and 26 inches long (she's taller than 95% of other girls her age, crazy!). She's healthy, but her knee has popped since birth, and this was the first checkup where the doctor didn't see any improvement. So, we made an appointment for tomorrow at a Pediatric Sports and Spine Associates to have it checked out. I'm sure it's fine, but it'll be nice to have it looked at!

Here's a Christmas photo for you...the dress if from her Grammy.

This one is getting framed. A new friendship is being forged.
