3 Months Old

Happy 3 Months Clara Grace! They do grow up fast. The page next to her says, Happy 3 Month Birthday To Me. Took these photos rather quickly yesterday, right before getting ready for bed so Clara was sleepy.

Yesterday was busy. Went up to the office to get situated so I can start working. Grandma watched Clara while I was out. I go back in to the office full time on June 15. Mike will be out of school then and will watch Clara till band camp starts August 3. I'm going to miss spending my days with my baby girl.

I wish she would stay the exact size and age she is right now. She is so much fun to hold and cuddle with. And as I mentioned before, she just talks and talks. We have our mommy and baby conversations daily. And another new thing she does, she doesn't just blow bubbles, she spits bubbles now. She is so proud of herself when she does that. And she wants to sit up so bad. If you put her down in her swing or carseat, she lifts her head to try and sit up. And she gets so frustrated because she is not quite there yet.

She does a lot better on tummy time, lifting her head and actually looking around at everything. She almost rolled over too from her tummy but stopped. When she lays on her back, she kicks her legs up high and actually hits stuff with them. She discovered her feet and legs the other day while sitting in her swing. It was so cute, how she studied them. When will she put them in her mouth is what I am wondering.


Carolina Godiva Track Club had its annual awards' banquet on May 30. For the third year in a row I received the ironman award. One gets this award if he/she participates in 75% of the races during the summer track series. Also, mine was special. Since I was pregnant last summer, my horse (the award) has a woman holding a baby on it. The others that received ironman awards just have a person on it-no baby.

I'm off to a good start on getting my forth ironman this summer.

One thing I started doing (not that I do it exactly right) is race walking. I cannot remember off the top of my head what my fastest race walk mile was last summer but I believe I broke 12 minutes. Pretty good, I think.


Friends of mine in the club have this license plate. Mike's parents have the exact same one in Virginia. How often do you see the exact same license plate from two different states?
