Clara Judith Sherwood

Clara is 10 months old now and growing up quickly. She has had two minor colds and pulled through just fine with no adverse effects. In a strange way I have been looking forward to her first cold: 1. to test and build her immune system and 2. in my mind, the cold added another layer normalcy to Clara once she was over it. And I really like NORMAL.
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Sherwood, Clara has been taking swimming lessons at the Y for the last 2 months. Clara loves the water and loves to be totally submerged, floating on her back, and blowing bubbles with her mouth, but her most favorite feature about the pool is the very colorful and constantly changing scoreboard. I think she could stare at it all day long.
