A perfect day

I love the afternoons where Clara is so cranky and then "BAMM!"  she falls asleep.  This day, she was very cranky, so I resorted to a Sesame Street on DVR.  I was watching it with Clara, when she started nodding off in her chair.  Her head was bouncing up and down like a yo-yo.  I picked her up, as she was half asleep, and she slept in my arms four about 25 minutes.  It is so rewarding and comfy to snuggle up with your child.  It can make an rough day turn into a perfect day!

New England Aquarium

This past weekend we visited the New England Aquarium.  Clara enjoyed her first trip here.  She stared at the penguins and loved getting up close to the glass to check out all of the different fish.  Here are a few pictures that we captured during out visit.

After we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Joe's American and then headed to the park to run off our meal.  Matt and Clara ran all around Columbus Park.  The weather was perfect for just enjoying the sun after a long winter.

Needless to say we throughly enjoyed our day in Boston!

A rainy afternoon... enjoy!

Concentration

I love seeing Clara focused on a task.  Whether she is learning how to use a fork, playing with toys, or discover something new, it shows how she has grown into a toddler.  At this point she runs around the house from one task to the next.  She loves having me chase her around the house, playing her own form of tag.  She has become a toddler so quickly and it amazes me how much a child learns in such a short span.  It is so exciting to see how her brain has developed to analyze things in her world.
