The Monkey Hat

I've been feeling a wee bit bad because I have yet to post a good picture of Clara. She will, however, have her day in the sun, since at this age she is much more natural in front of the camera than Lee (think "cheese!!!!"), and so the good pictures of her are piling up. This makes me feel better, since we have many more pictures of Lee than of Clara during their first year.


So here's a good one of her in the monkey hat. A friend passed this hat down to us and Clara has really taken to it, putting it on herself, wearing it around the house, and even sleeping in it if it happens to be on her head when she goes to bed. Sometimes she wears it backwards, which is cute too. This is all a bit funny, since she's taken her hat off outdoors ever since she was able to. So who knows, the monkey hat may be the trick.

It did occur to me the other day that my friend, who has a new baby. may want the monkey hat back for him when he's older. I better make sure it's not too well-loved.
