On Saturday, Clara and Emma were treated to Grandpa's famous pancakes. He even put blueberries in them! What a fun mess. Clara and Emma enjoyed playing with their new toy that Mommy brought from home, the Bee Bop Band. They both loved picking up the sticks and hitting the drum. Mommy is convinced they knew what to do because of music class on Thursday, which, of course, featured drums and sticks. Clara enjoyed the Argentina gold medal soccer game on the big tv. After a nap, everyone headed to Celebrity Delly for lunch with Bilha and David Marcus (and a quick visit from Dina and Michal). It was lots of fun for Clara and Emma- they devoured eggs, toast and a pear. After playing and a nap, Mommy and Daddy took Clara and Emma to Rockville to walk around. While Mommy checked out phones at Verizon, Emma learned a new word, "up." She says "up" when she wants to be lifted up now. It is really cute. Clara continues to walk like Frankenstein, but is walking more than crawling. She is becoming more and more confident in her abilities!
On Sunday, Clara and Emma enjoyed playing with Grandma and Grandpa in the morning. After a nap, everyone headed to Bethesda for brunch outside. After brunch, Daddy got a gelato and offered tastes to both Clara and Emma. Emma wasn't interested. Once Clara got a taste, she wanted more (it was peach flavor). Clara and Emma took a nap and then did their 1 year old hand prints in plaster on Sunday afternoon (thanks, Michal!).
