Outdoors in New Jersey

We took a few pictures near the pond across the street from Chris' parents' house. It was such a beautiful day, and of course we needed to highlight new clothes purchased at the Carter's outlet. She's already wearing 12 month sizes.

Blue Jean Banger

We were in New Jersey for a wedding Saturday, and we spent Sunday at his parents' house enjoying the beautiful weather and the Phillies win for the division championship.

She had so much fun!

So daring and ready to move on her own

So cute in her denim outfit from Grandmom

Party Princess

Now that Clara is seven months old (well, almost eight, but we're behind on the blog), we felt she was old enough to attend her first wedding party. Spud and Julie tied the knot at the Rutger's Chapel in New Jersey a few weekends ago. Clara had a beautiful dress, from Jenny ,to wear, and she flirted with every man in the room. She also had a reunion with the Nordberg family. She really connected with Mike when we were at the lake this summer.

Final 6 month pictures

Here are just a few cute pictures from about a month ago. Grandmom Condon had bought her the little pop up animal toy, and she was very curious to see where the animals went after they were pushed down. She would turn the toy over and look underneath. She's one smart cookie!

Morning Routine

As our exiting routines from the apartment have gotten more complex with all of us trying to get out the door and Clara being so much more mobile now, we've taken to putting her in the bathroom with us while we get ready. Here we were getting ready to go to Church, and we gave her a toothbrush to keep her occupied. She loved the bristled end, and cleaned her two teeth in no time!

"What do I do with this?"

"Oh... it goes in my mouth."

"Is this right?"

"I've got it!"
