Happy Birthday Claire Bear

I can't believe my baby girl has just turned 1! It seems like only yesterday she gently emerged from me and into my arms. Her infancy is a blur and she has become a toddler. She has accomplished so much in one year - learning to walk, feed herself, sleep (this one was especially hard to learn) and become independent. Claire is very curious, loves to cuddle and play peek-a-boo. She loves to do whatever her big sister is doing and always wants company while she plays. She can say seven words (mama, dada, sista, all-done, elmo and up) We are so proud of her!

We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with a small party of family and a few friends. Most of the Farwigs came in from St. Louis. It was wonderful to have everyone over to our new house. Claire received lots of fun new toys, her favorite being the baby doll we got her. She thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate cake I made and rubbed it in her hair when she was finished. It was a great party!

Looks like a fun time was had by all! Dan's big b-day bash isn't until the 25th, but we had a little cupcake party for him on Tuesday. Let's just say that Dan really likes cupcakes! :) Hope you are well!
