Long overdue update

I realized the other day that it has been over a month since my last update. We've been very busy and a lot of new things are happening! Clover was invited and attended her first kids birthday party. Her cousin Aresa turned 5 and had a fairy party. We took our first trip over the mountains to Sandpoint, Idaho where Michael's family lives. It took us roughly 5 1/2 hours each way and Clover did great! She was on her best behavior the entire trip, we are very proud. Clover is also speed crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything, cruising along coffee tables, benches, even the walls. She has recently started hovering a few seconds without holding on before sitting down. She'll be walking before we know it! Between her curiosity and this new level of mobility, Clover is certainly keeping us on our toes. This is a long post, so make sure to scroll all the way down so you don't miss anything!

Clover discovered the fun of toilet paper while Mommy was taking a shower.


Clover was excite to be at her Cousin Aresa's 5th birthday party and loved being included in all the games with the other kids.



She received her own pair of fairy wings and was proud to wear them!


Being silly with Daddy. It's fun to watch Clover start to mimic what we do.



This is what I wake up too every morning. Not a bad way to start off the day :) Clover is always in a great mood when she wakes up - smiling and jumping up and down when we go in her room to get her.





Still playing with her fairy wand! It's one of Clover's favorite toys right now....she is such a girly girl.


Big girl now, feeding myself!!


Pushing my new wagon around the yard! This used to be Cousin Aresa and Eliot's and now they gave it to me. Thank you!



Looking for a snack on my own in the fridge.....who need Mommy and Daddy?


Working hard on the laptop....just like Mommy and Daddy do it! This probably makes Grandpa proud :) ......maybe I'll need my own laptop soon Grandpa!



.....just being silly in the kitchen while Mommy gets my breakfast ready.


This is my wild-naked baby before bath time. Clover gets all wiggly and silly when she's naked.




Clover's first trip to Idaho was a lot of fun. She becomes less attached to Mommy and Daddy and more social with others everyday. This makes Grandparents and Great Grandparents very happy!

A day of firsts.....Clover's first time out to the cabin and her first time seeing a horse! Clover met Nick and Dancer - Grandma Kay and Grandpa D's horses. She didn't really know what to think of such a large animal, but she seemed to like them!

We saw Grandma Kay's huge garden and she showed us everything she was getting ready to harvest!

We spent time with Great Grandma and Papa Kinney too! Clover liked to cuddle with Grandma Kinney.....I'm pretty sure it went both ways :)

Doing something she's gotten very good at....showing off! Clover loves to be the center of attention and entertain a crowd.

Our good friend Matt Blaine, A.K.A. "The Dude", drove over from Spokane to visit during our trip. Here's Clover and The Dude reading the Sunday paper together.
