2 Months Old

Well, Miss Clara is 2 months old already! We have had a very busy month 2 and Clara has grown so much! She got her 2 month shots and weighs in at 11 pounds 13.5 ounces and is 22.5 inches long. She cried when she got the shots (of course) and was feeling a little blue the rest of the day and yesterday, but today she is doing well! She is smiling a lot now and is starting to discover her voice. It is really sweet to hear her talk to us and smile while she is doing so. She LOVES to smile at Bonnie and Elena and may I say they were a HUGE help while we were on the road. They fed her, talked to her, put her paci in over and over, rubbed her face, read to her, sang to her and tried to make her stop crying by almost any means necessary. They are such great helpers!

Bonnie and Elena have been to two camps this month after the 4th of July. Elena went to ACU Leadership camps with a group from FB and we picked her up and drove straight to NM for a high school session of camp with Jason's parents and old church home. We got to see both sets of Great-Grandparents, saw Grandma and Grandpa Dillingham, (my mom just had surgery on her foot, so we got to take lunch to their house and see my dad as well which was really great), celebrated Bonnie's 15th birthday (twice) and saw aunts and cousins as well! The weather was perfect (especially at night and in the morning) and the view was spectacular. The mountains and the sky were a beautiful picture of God's perfect design and how small we all are in comparison.
Then we came back to Dallas and sent Bonnie on her way to camp with the kids from FB.
Here are some pics

I am so impressed that she has already traveled so much. Luke is going on his first road trip this weekend. I am a little anxious about it but keep telling myself that he will do great. :)

It looks like Clara didn't like the creek but we are amazed that you took her to camp! You are very brave. We're sad we are missing you...Bailey and I will be in Albuquerque on Monday.
Hope you are doing well! Love you!
