Superlatives

I thought it would be fun to do a superlatives post, to spice things up.

Most acrobatic: Lucy walking on the walls. She needed a little help to get up there, but I was amazed at how she stayed up!



Most mixed-up weather: Snow the day before Halloween! Lucy sure loved it, though. We shoveled, made snow angels, built a snowman, had a snowball fight, and did a few sled runs down the mini snow mountain (which finally melted today!).

Most creative use of younger sister's clothes. It's amazing what Lucy can fit into (the jacket, gloves and hat are Clara's).



Sweetest grin.



Biggest age gap: 88 years apart!

Happiest cruiser. Clara is moving around quite adeptly now- and see below for some more exciting news.

Most creative dance outfit.

Best use of a utensil. Clara loves holding spoons, and usually has one in her hand as she cruises around the house. If I try to take it out of her hands at bedtime, she starts sobbing, so now I wait until she's nursing, when she doesn't notice as much.

Most likely to touch the ceiling.

And now onto the video category.

Most exciting development- Clara has taken a few steps on her own! She started taking one or two steps between the couch and a chair on Thursday, and yesterday and today she's kept on going, adding more and more steps. This afternoon, while I was sitting on the couch she walked from the couch to the middle of the room- about 5 or 6 feet. Totally amazing! I captured a few of her steps on camera.

Most balanced- Clara also has started standing on her own for long periods.

Most contagious laughter. The girls at lunch today, cracking each other up. The blue stuff on Clara's face is blueberry juice (she's totally into self-feeding now, and loves all kinds of food- squash, brussel sprouts, beets, cheese, bread, peas, corn, rice, yogurt, blueberries, bananas, etc).
