Check out our cute little duck! More photos from the evening here.

Clara (almost) walking

Today for the first time Clara was able to push this little cart by herself. She was so proud!

Bees in the Backyard

This doesn't really have to do directly with Clara, but before noon today as we headed into the backyard, we decided to turn back. This is why. About 90 minutes later it was gone, but wow.

Clara on her new swing

We gave her a birthday present a little early. I think she likes it. Maybe. Or maybe the jury's still out. You decide.

Clara playing the piano

She bobs like Stevie Wonder now to most music. That loud noise in the background? Lucy drinking water from her bowl. Subtle, isn't she?

Clara talking (sort of)

Yes, Clara is now talking. Only problem is she's invented her own language that none of us can successfully interpret. It's still fun to listen...

Clara in Orlando

Matt had a conference in Orlando so we took Clara with us. She had a great time in the sun and at the pool. More photos here.

Trying real food for the first time

Well, it's just rice cereal, but her facial expressions were priceless. Full photo album here.

Beautiful fall day in Snohomish

Fun trip to Stocker Farms Pumpkin Festival in Snohomish (about 30 minutes north of Kirkland) with the Gill's today. Clara's looking forward to carving her pumpkins. Pictures from the trip here.

We ordered her Halloween costume this week as well. Can't wait...

Gameday with Grandpa

Grandpa Heinz came over to watch the Huskies and Notre Dame this afternoon, and of course to spend time with Clara. Thanks Grandpa and Cher for the great hat!

Pictures of the afternoon here.
