4 Months

Clark is 4 months old today.   

We celebrated by listening to the soundtrack of Clark's screams all day.  boo.  It's been one of those "I'm-going-to-cry-all-day-for-no-apparent-reason" days, but it's his party...

It is such a treat for me to watch this little guy gain new skills in discovering the world around him.  I love the way he sticks out his long pointy tongue, how he kicks when he's excited, how he loves playing with my hands, how he laughs (still on rare occasions), and the way he crinkles his nose sometimes when he smiles.  I even love his sad little face, so scream on, Clark.  Scream on.  Steve and I love our little Baby Clark! 

Last Day of the Year

We spent the last little bit of 2010 with hundreds of other Houstonians at Discovery Green Park for the Glowarama event.  There was ice skating, a parade, lights, art, fireworks, and if there had been a stick-your-tongue-out contest Clark would've won.  Having just come from a real winter climate, we seemed to be the only ones not bundled up in coats and blankets for the 65 degree weather.  Happy 2011!

Clark met a lot of family members for the first time during our visit to Utah: 6 cousins, 5 aunts, 5 uncles, 2 great grandmas, 1 grandpa, 1 great grandpa, 1 Curt, and lots of other extended family.  We're so glad we were able to see everyone!

Very Merry

We had a wonderful first Christmas with Clark.  We were able to spend the whole day in the company of our great families.

The Night Before Christmas...

We spent Christmas Eve shopping for last-minute gifts, snowboarding (in Steve's case), modeling small hats, taking typing tests, holding babies, feasting, and singing.
