"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Clara at 8 months

At 8 months Clara is learning new tricks. She crawls in, out and up on anything she can. She loves to climb in the dishwasher.











She is often has a visitor in her crib in the morning. Laken still thinks Clara is her real life dolly.







She weighed in at 17lbs 6 oz. Then, we got to experience another new illness from her (1st RSV), Roseola. She broke out from head to toe in a rash. I don't think there was anywhere it was missing. And, it must have been really itchy or painful because she was exhausted, but could not get comfortable to sleep. After getting the diagnoses, Dr. Clubb had has put Calamine and Hydrocortisone cream on it. Also, she had us alternate motrin and tylenol. Apparently Roseola starts out with just a fever and then, after the fever is gone. A couple days later the rash appears and that is exactly what happened with Belle. She didn't want to eat either and was done to 17ibs at the doctor's office. She keeps us on our toes.
