We Found Love
Here’s a video from the archives (January to be exact – somehow we overlooked it four months ago). It’s becoming pretty clear that Rihanna tops of the list of Clara’s favorite pop stars (see this video as Exhibit A). She she even broke out some fist pumping.

hopelessly cute!
I know Clara is the star of this video, but Sherry you are adorable!
Ack- I’m always mad at John for filming me. Haha. I’m like “aim it at the kid!”

She could be on MTV someday (just like $herdog) interviewing Rihanna! :)
Hahahahahahhhhha. You never know…
xo,

Haha too cute! My friend’s baby just goes nuts for techno music. I guess they just like a good beat, eh?
Hahahaha! That is too cute! I love her skip/hop/dance and the fist pumping!
Clara looks like a Rihanna “FANatic” to me! ha ha She is too cute!
Hahahaha! You go, Clara! My cousin’s toddlers love “Low” by Flo Rida (the apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur song). It must be the beat. Clara has such a good sense of musicality — she has certainly mastered the fist pumping and galloping. So cute.
Haha, my cousin Olivia loves that song too! We have danced and sung to it many a time!

Okay, have you guys seen the video of the cute red-headed kid dancing to “Low”? It’s from 3 years ago but it’s AWESOME. Everytime I hear that song now I think of him. lol http://youtu.be/XtvOP32eM0k
Hahaha- so funny!

Love the first part where she starts bouncing….then tapping on the stool…and love how she watches her reflection on the oven door ~ too cute!
The personality in this child is fabulous! She is so uninhibited and so sure of herself. You have a sweet, sweet little girl. She is truly a gift.
Love that her hair is growing. My daughters hair was like that also at 2. She is a grown-up now with thick long hair. There is hope.
Love her “hair suppies”!!!
B.
I love that she keeps checking herself out in the reflection on the oven door!
Too cute! :) I love her fist pump.
Sherry your excitement when she started fist pumping just made my day! Clara’s cuteness doesn’t hurt either :-)
I know! “50 percent Jersey!” made me laugh out loud!
Hahaha, that is so cute!
Clara is super cute but I have to say my favorite part was Sherry’s “50% Jersey!” comment!
As long as she leaves her admiration at the music…don’t want to see her modeling the rest of her life too much after her favorite pop stars!
Have you introduced her to the “vintage” classic Umbrella? I’m imagining the toddler version of that music video starring Clara…
Haha, oh yes we have played it a few times, but not nearly enough. We’ll have to break out some “vintage” stuff. haha.

I have to say, I can see where Clara gets her moves and singing voice from. Sherry, you have some skills! :)
She is seriously too cute! My daughter is just starting to bounce to the beat of music now. I can’t wait till she can really groove out to it like Clara.
My favorite quote was “50% Jersey”. SO fun, thanks for posting.
I absolutely love seeing her dance around to the music that we all love. She can definitely move to the beat! Way to go, Clara!
ohmygoodness! Sherry, I am in LOVE with the part where you yell ’50% Jersey’ and we get a small glimpse of your own fist pump!
Thanks for being such enthusiastic and awesome parents…and for sharing these videos with us!!
Haha, I can’t help myself.

I love it! My daughter is 14 months, and already she has the fist pump going as well. My husband is 100% Jersey (making baby 50% Jersey as well), so he’s as proud as you are, Sherry!
Hahah, we Jersey folks have pride. And fist pumping is in the blood.
xo,

When I found out that you are from Jersey I was so sad thinking why did they have to live all the way in Richmond.. That’s how much I love your family (I will never say this in front of my husband, he’ll think I have mental issues lol)
Haha, you’re so cute! I think my relatives up there think the same thing! But they get to come down and visit and enjoy the warmer weather, so they “get it” when they do. Haha. Still have a huge soft spot for Jersey though!

Quick question for ya, since I spotted it in the video… do you only have that strap-on highchair for Clara? Or do you have a stand-alone one too that maybe you used when she was littler? Inquiring minds working on their first baby registry would like to know…. :-) Thanks!
Oh yes, that’s all we have used since she was old enough to eat at a high chair (6 months). Worked like a charm! It was a money/space saver tip from some moms we knew (they bought both and only ever used the snap on one). We do have an old chair from my mom that I recently spray painted yellow, but it’s more of a kid chair and not a high chair (it doesn’t have a tray or a strap, so it’s for 2+ year old kiddos).

Love it at the end where Sherry gallops off after Clara! Such sweetness.
OMG Adorable. I think my favorite part is the very end when she does her cute little gallop and you follow her and do the Clara gallop too!
Haha, I love that little gallop!
xo,
s
I think some of the best times are just having fun and being silly together. :)
Clara looks way better than I do when that song comes on in Zumba class… So cute! I love it when her Jersey roots come out! Represent ;)
She gets her smooth moves from her MAMA!
Ahh! I love it all! I can’t pick my favorite part. It’s tied between Clara’s first few sing-a-longs, the pure joy at the Jersey fist pump, and the gallop at the end. Seriously, 2:45 seconds of awesomeness!
I love when Clara fist pumps, and you guys are the coolest parents ever. Your house must be full of fun times! =D
OMG …..She is SO CUTE!!! Love it.
Seriously cute! My little guy loves to car-dance when we drive! My husband is all over it, except when we’re dancing to disco! hahaha!
Baaahahaha my favorite part is Sherry skipping after her at the end. SO cute!! Her red cheeks!
my 22 month old loves ri-ri too!! There is something about that woman’s music!!
HA. I love Sherry’s Clara-esque gallop-skip. Hilarious. =D
I love how Clara uses the oven as a mirror to check herself! She keeps going in back to it, so cute.
Too cute! Kid’s got good taste! That song is so addictive!
That is seriously the cutest thing.
And my favorite, is your little pixie walk at the end after her. Ugh. You guys can’t get any cuter. All of you.
Ha! Love it! My 14 month old loves Rihanna, too–definitely her favorite–if a Rihanna song comes on she drops whatever she’s doing to dance. I wonder what it is about her music?!
you have some crazy monkey cutenesss, but I’ll be seriously awed when I hear her sing, “cheers to the freakin’ weekend” and then go in for a milk break!! :)
you two are honestly the coolest parents ever. clara is so lucky.
Baby fever! I can’t wait to have a little kiddo–one to dance with and chat with. I’m not a big baby person but little kids are the cutest!
I was going to say that my favorite part was when she was galloping with one hand clutching the mermaid and the other dancing, but then I saw the first pumping and the Jersey pride in me won! So stinkin’ cute. I love how Jersey is like a nationality! She’s 50% Jersey, part Italian, etc, haha!
I have been meaning to show you this book for Clara. I have seen how she loves to sing and repeat poems or songs. she also loves animals and you guys seem to like the whimsical. Any ways this was one of my favorite poems and books when I was little, and I think Clara would enjoy it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator_Pie
lots of the poems are great but here the one the book is named after……
Alligator pie, alligator pie,
If I don’t get some I think I’m gonna die.
Give away the green grass, give away the sky,
But don’t give away my alligator pie.
Alligator stew, alligator stew,
If I don’t get some I don’t know what I’ll do.
Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe,
But don’t give away my alligator stew.
Alligator soup, alligator soup,
If I don’t get some I think I’m gonna droop.
Give away my hockey stick, give away my hoop,
But don’t give away my alligator soup
Ha! What a cute poem. It does seem like a book Clara would like.
-John
I die! Sherry, does it make you so proud that she fist pumps already? I love seeing a lil’ Jersey in her!! My favorite!
So stinkin cute! My 16 month old Sullivan LOVES watching clara dance around. He joins in :)
