Jumping

Looking back over our photos from January (of which there aren't many, probably due to the post-holiday lull!), there is a common element in many: the doorway jumper.  Clara has discovered that she loves loves loves it.  So here is a smattering of shots from her favorite activity this month.  I love the deer-in-the-headlights expression in most of them :)  Carlton loves to 'help' her jump and push her in it like a swing.  She absolutely loves any attention from her big brother!

Five months old

Clara at five months!  Always pensive, our little girl....

but the smiles are so rewarding when they come.

Modeling

Clara had a few modeling gigs this month.  We had several gift outfits from family and friends far away, so these photos were to share with them.  Clara humored us, but wouldn't quite flash that winning grin.  Don't think this is her career of choice (which we're fine with :)
