Ears and Smiles
Our girl found her smile this month and she hasn't stopped since. It's so hard to be upset at a little one who wakes you up at the crack of dawn, only to break out a grin that lets you know you're the best thing she's ever seen. We've never laughed and yawned so much at the same time.

The winter is finally retreating and we've been so thrilled to finally get her outside, which means lots of adorable eared hats and coats. Everything's better when it looks like a small animal, right? She loves new adventures and has been such a trooper as I've carted her around everywhere: to auditions, to my old office, she even went to court on behalf of our building's homeowners' association. In fact, she accompanied me to a print audition where she charmed the photographer so much he hired her instead of me. I knew I'd be outshined by my child, I just figured it would come a bit later...quite the girl.

Here's a little of her charming personality for your viewing pleasure. 

 

 

 

We have dimples! 

 

 

 

Aunt Cari and Uncle Paul visit
Pat's sister Cari and her husband Paul flew up from Texas for a nice visit before heading off to Seattle. We were so fortunate to finally get some great weather and took the opportunity to get Clara outside in the sun. 

 

 

And lastly, a little rest.

A man who knows how to make his gals feel cozy.
