My Klara

This is my last week alone with my precious girl! All through my pregnancy I have wished things would speed up, but now that the last 7 days are here, I wish things would slow down! I am so scared that I will not have the same precious time with Klara that I have had over the past 18 1/2 months. That scares me to death! However, I know that Zach will fit into our routine just fine and I will not be able to imagine life without him once he is here. I am also still a tad bit afraid because he is a BOY! I know all about baby dolls and coloring books, but I am not sure I am that updated on cars and dump trucks! Since my next post will more than likely be about the birth of my son, I thought I would give a few random updates about Klara before Zach gets here and keeps me busy 24/7.

-Klara is saying tons of words! Some of her favorites are mommy, dada, mimi, papaw, wawa (Wade), baby, bowbow (dog), cat, book, Caillou (favorite cartoon), ball, home, bubbles, moon, more, moo, yay!, no, yes, up, help, umbrella, peepee, poopoo, eat, pup (cup), bapple (apple), beep beep (car), and there are a few others I can't think of right now.

-She can also recognize and say the following letters: A, B, C, D, E, G, I, J, K, L, O, P, Q, S, T, U, W, and Y. I am very proud of her!

-Her favorite things to do are color (she holds the crayons correctly!), read, watch Caillou, take baths, and play outside.

-I started singing "Baby Mine" (from Dumbo) to Klara when she was born and still sing it to her every night before she goes to bed. She now holds her baby dolls, rocks them, and sings the same song to them! She can only get out the first 2 words of the song, but it is still precious!

-She is generally grouchy every afternoon about the time Alex gets home. She will cling to my legs (so annoying) and warm up after about 5 minutes of doing this.

I love my girl so much! Here are her most recent pictures! I think I take too many pictures of her. When she sees the camera now she says "NO!" and walks away!



My little strawberry!

Your pregnancy sure did pass by fast - - for me!!! A second child is so much easier because you know how to take care of a baby and are not just learning. - - - about the afternoon thing, most kids do seem to have a bit of a melt-down during late afternoon. That's why when you have two, it will make life a whole lot easier if you are able to fix most of your supper in the morning. It will be one less thing for you to deal with at that time.

This was such a sweet post. I'm really excited about seeing pictures of that sweet baby boy soon. And about pictures - you can NEVER take too many!! I like Lynda's advice about planning your meal early in the day. I know the 4 of you will get into a great routine in no time!! Love you lots!
