Our cup runneth over...







It's hard to believe our Claire-bear turned 1 on March 4th. What a beautiful, bitter-sweet day. I sometimes still tear up thinking about the last year, many ups and downs but all blessings. Kevin and I beam with pride when we look at our little girl:) We are so lucky to have her in our lives and so truly blessed to have our family happy and healthy.
It's true what people say, as they get older they get more fun...so true! Claire is our little comedy show right here in our living room! I am pretty confident she'll keep the laughs coming as she grows. We have predicted that we have the "class clown/book worm" in the class. And did I mention she is tall? Man...she has some long legs! At her 1 year check up she weighed 19.6lbs and was 29.5 inches long.

Some things she is up to right now; loving to kiss and hug all her toys and babies, even pictures of babies. She loves books and we read all day long, she even has favorite pages in each book. The books with animals seem to be a favorite, she makes animal noises, the sheep is her specialty..."baaa". She also says "This" and "That" all day long. It is so fun seeing her excitement for all the things she sees and discovers, even if it's the same thing she saw the day before. She loves to go "vroom" and get in her pink car and wave to all the puppies in the neighborhood. She is already into music, loves to dance and sing. She takes the remote from us and pretends to turn on music and starts dancing. We just love her to bits and can't wait to see her grow and become her own little person(but hopefully not too fast!)
Happy Birthday to our sweet Princess Claire-Bear, we love you!
