Evan - Clara has something to say to you!

Happy Birthday Opa

Today's post goes out to a very special birthday: Clara wishes her Opa a the best. Mommy Joana and Daddy Robert also send their love to Frank. Cheers from Rio!

Clara is 2 months!

Yesterday our baby girl turned 2 months old. Vovó Vera and vovô Luiz had us over for a little birthday celebration. Rô (a good friend of them) joined us. She wore the cute outfit Tante Anne send Clara and after cake it was off to the pediatrician where we found out she is 58 cm, 5.2 kilos and everything is perfect. Yay! Unfortunately dad couldn't be there fir cake but he met us at the doctor's office.

Ahhh, Zivenhaaa, Wawawismaaaa!!!

In case you didn't get that subject line, it's from the Lion King ...

Polar Bear Clarinha Bonitinha

No comments ... the pictures tell the story!

True Rio Stories

Clara is telling us where she went, who she met, and what she did!

Pretty in pink

Today Clara wore the cute pink onesie from London that Tia Renata gave her. She looked really pretty in pink but a diaper explosion forced an outfit change in the middle of the day. Not to worry, tia Juliana was here to do the change!! Thanks, tia Ju!

Interview with Tio Pedro

On Sunday's we have lunch at Sogra & Sogro's place - the whole family - Tio Pedro checked with Clarinha Bonitinha what she thought of lunch today :-)

The Knutschparty Continues ...

Daddy's Finger

Try to leave us a comment ... :-)

Lunch with Bisa

Lunch at vovó and vovô had a special guest birthday girl of the week: Bisa Neusa! Later, tia Nana came to see Clara as well. Good times!

Mall with vovó Vera

While visiting the mall with vovó Vera we checked out their baby area where she was fed and changed. The place was Clara approved! :)

Gloves?

Went to teach my first yoga class today! Clara stayed home with daddy. Clara's two pairs of gloves were dirty so what did daddy do? He put socks on the baby's hands! Haha.

Tia Paula

Tia Paula came over to help me with Clara. We put some Galinha Pintadinha songs and she fell asleep on tia's arms.

Best Friends

Today we visited Sandra and Malu.

They are so cute!!

Lazy rainy Sunday at Ipanema

Clara Enjoying the Finger

Don't worry ... no fingers were harmed in the making of this movie.

La Forneria

Family lunch at La Forneria.

Zzzz

It's bedtime here...for everyone!

Tio Pedro strikes again

Lunch at Vó Vera is a lot of fun with tio Pedro. They were singing and exercising the legs. Clara was loving it.

Good morning from the play gym

Clara is entertaining herself this morning at the play gym. Such a big girl!

Dani's Pictures

We got Dani's pictures back - she did another awesome job!

Unfortunately we cannot post all 212 pictures - so here are a select few (Joana will probably post a few others that she likes better) that I thought were worth sharing :-)

Clara in the Tub

I'm still out with back-pain ... so Joana is taking over the bathing duties ...

... I think she's doing a great job.  Clara seems to enjoy it :-)

Clara Dancing the Wiener Walzer

Oma dancing with Clara - den Wiener Walzer - to make her stop crying.  It worked!

Eating My Little Fist

Tonight while Joana and I were having the most delicious spaghetti ever made in our kitchen, Clarinha Bonitinha was enjoying her little fist.

Tio Pedro - Trocador de Fraldas

Today - my last vacation day - we had lunch at Sogra Vera's house ... Tio Pedro changed Clara's diaper.  He also earned a golden star for his burping skills (that is burping Clara - not he himself).

Bath time with Mamãe

My back is acting up again and I am not able to assume my responsibilities as Clarinha's official bather. So Mamãe has to cover my shift.
