Clara's 2nd Birthday

Our crazy little Clara turned 2!  She's still been crazy, but has had a lot more sweet moments the past few weeks.  She has started singing her ABC's, the Itsy Bitsy Spider, the Elmo's World theme song, the Diego theme song and the Dora theme song.  In addition she'll try to sing anything she hears.  We were on our way to pick out our Christmas tree and I had sang "Oh, Christmas Tree" before we left, and she starting singing it in the car.  She does it with her sweet little 2 year old pronunciation, but it is so stinkin' cute!!!!  She is still throwing her tantrums and doing "butt bombs" all the time.  She does have her sweet moments.  She calls Will, either Willy or Buddy, she calls Evelyn, Ebbie, and Grace is Gaycie.  She says her own name like "Care-wah".  She can communicate quite well for a 2 year old.  She's still climbing all over the place.  Last week she took a tumble down the entire flight of stairs.  The stairs where we are currently living are long and wooden.  She cried when she got down to the bottom, when Evie saw her she started crying and freaking out, then Grace came around the corner and started yelling at the top of her lungs about it.  I came down the stairs with Will who then got scared from all the screaming and he started bawling.  It was a loud morning.  Clara was just fine luckily.  Then a few days later she fell in the kitchen and didn't get her hands down and nailed her forehead on the floor and ended up with a big goose-egg on her house.  She generally falls off a chair or the table once a week.  She climbs up on lots of things, and will not listen or be careful.  She's a busy-body!!!  Here are some of her birthday photos.

Will's Fall Photo Shoot

I got a new camera last month.  I need to figure out how to use it, but I still decided to go ahead and take some pics of Will to update our Christmas card.  I would take Clara's too, but she's been soooo moody that I don't even feel like trying right now.  We did get a few minutes of sunshine so we headed upstairs to my bedroom and tried the best we could.  Evie joined in with pics and helping Will smile.
