Adventures

Clara has enjoyed some new adventures the last few weekends. Last week, she stayed the night at Grandma & Grandpa Daniels' for the first time! Brad and I had to work at an event Friday night and I thought that since it was going to be late before we picked her up, maybe Clara should just stay the night! When I mentioned it to Brad, I think his exact quote was "Don't tease me" as he gets up with her the most for pacifier replacement in the middle of the night.
She looks really upset we are leaving..
We enjoyed a date night and even stayed out late (midnight for us these days!). Grandma is too nice and refused to complain about any middle of the night wake-ups. We slept through the night for the first time in 7 months and woke up refreshed and excited to go pick her up! I think there will be more sleepovers in Clara's future..

This past weekend, Clara joined me on a girls weekend road trip to Missouri! For the most part, she did great in the car for the 10 hours total. Played, took some naps and even ate on the go!



She let us know she was DONE WITH HER CARSEAT about the last hour on the way home (sorry Emmie!). She enjoyed meeting all the Meyerkorth kiddos and watching the action from my lap most of the weekend. She was excited to be the only little one that got to go with us out to eat on Saturday night :-) 



We've learned a bunch of time already that when we are worried about taking Clara somewhere or stretching her patience she usually does great. She's a pretty flexible little baby!
