With Papai in Barra

And with requeijão (soft cheese) all over 

Sittin' n reading

Stuck

Everytime Clara sees my closet door open she feels like going in and explore it. I usually don't let her bc she tends to pull stuff and I'm always afraid she'll get hit in the head. The other day I let her get in to see what she'd do. It turns out that going in was easy...coming out, different story!

Vovo's Birthday Party

Today was Vovo Luis's birthday - and given that it's Carnival in Rio, what better than to throw a Carnival themed birthday party!  Thanks Vovo Vera :-)

 Clara and best friend Malu ... 

 It was a great turn-out and everyone was dressed up for Carnival - unfortunately Clara "wasn't with it" - she did not like all the people and craziness ... (i.e. she appears to be just as anti-social as her Papai)

 One picture just the two of us ... another pictures for the entire clan ;-)

 At the end once everyone was gone and we were cleaning up, Clara finally came around and did actually play with the confetti ... but she was still not smiling ... 

 After the party we hung out at Vovo Vera's place for a little while longer ... 

 ... before going home to enjoy a nice hot bath.
