Clara bleeds blue.  Go cougars!

I needed to change Clara's diaper so I left her laying on a disposable changing pad while I ran into the other room to grab a fresh diaper.  When I came back, Claradactyl was hiding from me. 

Lil' stinker.

Today we tried pigtails for the first time.  They didn't stay in as well as the ponytail, probably because she kept rolling around and knocking them out, and because I was worried about putting the elastics in too tight and hurting Clara so they were a little bit loose to begin with.

I finally decided to try putting Clara's hair into a ponytail.  She looked so cute.  I felt a tight squeeze of love in my heart as I realized how much more grown up she looks with her hair done like this though - almost like a little girl instead of my tiny baby.  Paul and I keep gaping at how big she getting and it seems like she has grown every morning when take her out of her crib.

We went  out for breakfast to our favorite breakfast place, called Stacks.  Paul got the Farmer's Breakfast of two pancakes, hash browns, eggs, bacon, and sausage and I got the Banana Pecan Waffles and then we sort of shared.  Afterwards we went to the farmer's market in Saratoga to pick up fresh peaches and berries and see if we had missed the apricots.  Turns out we were two weeks late on the last of the fresh apricots, which was really sad for Paul because those are some of his favorites.

I think the sometimes I overwhelm Clara with kisses.  Not really - she loves getting kisses actually.  This is just a really funny shot.  I've been doing all sorts of crazy french braids lately.  This one started at the front left side then circled the back of my head and I finished it by pinning it into a knot on the front right side.  It actually looked pretty cool.
