Happy birthday, Clara Marie!



Right now, this girl is the love of my life! She is an absolute joy. It hasn't always been this way, but for almost 2 months she has shown us how fun and happy she really is. From the moment she sees me in the morning when I walk into her room, she makes goofy sounds and laughs out loud. She gets so excited when we go to get her out of her crib that she'll crawl laps around the edge of the crib at her fastest pace, laughing the entire time. She is crazy!



Clara loves to have fun, end of story. She loves to "get" Colten and pull his hair, she loves to imitate sounds, she loves playing peek-a-boo, and seriously, this girl can dance! Even if I'm singing a lullaby to her, she's shaking her hips and bobbing her head. She cracks me up. If I had to label one thing as her favorite, it would be water. She LOVES the water table, the pool, the bath, the ocean, and the wet sand box. She loves to splash, stand up in, and crawl around in any kind of water without any fear. She is brave, and I love it. She crawls, she climbs, she falls, and she gets back up again. Yesterday she took SEVEN steps!! She'll be walking everywhere within weeks, I'm sure of it.



Clara can say "no", "thank you (deh-di)", "mama", "dada", and can shake her head yes. She can clap, wave, give high fives, and if you ask her what the fox says, she says, "di di di di di!!". She could eat cheese and blueberries all day every day, and she finally likes cows milk now! This morning was the last time I nursed her, and I'm so happy I made it a year! It's a little sad to see her growing and not "need" me as much anymore, but one is FUN & I am so excited to see what more this girl has to show us about herself! We are so blessed. Happy birthday, Clara beara!



.....Babe, time for baby #3???? :)
