Everyday fun with Clark

Fell asleep while eating dinner one night :-)

He loves his "big boy cup" (he doesn't have the hang of drinking with it yet,

but it's good for him to try)

Daddy's guitar case is the perfect height for him to practice pulling up.

Can't believe he's pulling up already. He'll be a walker very soon!

Pulling up on the coffee table

He likes his books

8 Months!

Our big boy is 8 months now! He's had some big milestones over the last month! Getting good with finger foods, learning new sounds like yaya, and baba, crawling, and he has 2 TEETH! He's crawling so fast now and he's already in to everything, even trying to pull up! Look out Larsen family, Clark's on the move!

Look at those teeth! He's growing so fast!

We have a crawler!

Clark has been working hard on crawling the last couple of weeks, and has finally perfected it just a few days ago! Then the next challenge was me getting it on video, but last night I finally did! Check it out!

Welcome Fall!

After a terrible hot summer, we are very excited to welcome fall! We're getting ready for cooler temperatures, and Clark is preparing for all the yummy holiday food! He has mastered finger foods very quickly! Clark says "Let's eat!"

I'm learning how to knit! This is my first official hat! He likes it!

Picking up some puffs

While Mommy & Daddy eat dinner he likes to join us at the table and eat too. Here he's having boiled potatoes & carrots.

He loves finger food! He gets so excited when we put it in front of him!

Having some cheerios one morning. I guess it was pretty early and he's still waking up. Haha!

7 months!

Our big goy is 7 months! He seems to be changing every day now! A few milestones for this month are: He's perfected sitting up for long periods of time, getting more verbal using mainly "ma ma", and he can roll both ways easily now (belly to back & back to belly) and he can even get from the laying down position to sitting up in his crib...... but still no teeth!

Family Road Trip!

We took Clark on his first long road trip! We went drove up to Minnesota, then to Missouri, then down to Kansas! He did so great in the car all those hours! Clark's a regular traveling man!

First stop: Omaha Nebraska. We stopped overnight at a hotel with a pool

While Clark liked the pool he REALLY like the hot tub. He practiced his splashing!

6 hours in the car and he's still smiling! Almost to Grandma's!

Playing the piano with Grandma

Walking around on the farm with Grandma

He really enjoyed all the pretty flowers

A beautiful Minnesota morning with Daddy

Clark really liked this swing!

He even enjoyed this box of Cheezeits! And Molly is patiently waiting for him to drop a few

Playing with his cousins

Happy Anniversary! Caleb and I were able to leave Clark with Judd & Anna and spend our Anniversary at this awesome Bed and Breakfast in Kansas City! Our room theme was "Castaway isle". That's the front of the room, with the bed upstairs. It was really neat. Celebrating 5 years together with my amazing man..... it was perfect :-)

Sweet kisses from little Nichole

Clark being extra wiggly & giggly one night with Anna. Very funny.

Adorable! Caleb grew out his goatee during our trip and Clark loved it when he's rub his goatee on his feet! He'd laugh and giggle. It was very cute! Here we are at Micah's in Kansas wrapping up our trip.

Really, really great visits with everyone! Can't wait to do it all again!

6 Months! He's reached the half-year mark!

Our little Clark is 6-months already? WOW! Sometimes it feels like we just brought him home from the hospital, but while we're sad to see his tiny guy phase pass... we're excited to watch him grow into a fun boy! Milestones this month include: First swim, able to sit up for short periods of time, (and we suspect he's starting to teeth)

He's getting very wiggly!

Here's little Clark only a few days old. He was practically the same size as Tigger! And his hair was so blonde!

Sitting up for short periods of time! His record right now is about 3 min before he'll topple over... hence the pillow behind him.
