In honor of Claire's 2nd birthday this week I thought I would do a post all about her.
She......has quite the personality.
...makes us laugh all the time.
...is a really good talker. For example, today she said, "Bamma (grandma) Nelson called me and sang Happy Birthday To You."
...is very cuddly.
...asks for hugs and kisses all day long.
...has a temper.
...throws a lot of tantrums.
...frequently hits her brother (often for good reason, but sometimes not).
...always says sorry after hitting.
...is a good eater.
...loves veggies, fruit, rice, noodles, nuts, meat, string cheese, eggs, cereal with milk, pancakes that she likes to dip in syrup, ice cream and popcorn.
...doesn't like avocados, raisins, beans or sandwiches.
...wants to "do it myself".
...can put on her pants by herself.
...wishes she could put on all her clothes by herself.
...takes baths while wearing a cloth diaper (long story).
...loves animals.
...loves to swing.
...loves to play outside.
...likes to play with her brother, most of the time.
...plays well independently.
...likes to pretend to cook, have tea parties and take care of her dollies and stuffed animals.
...doesn't like long car rides.
...has mostly forgotten about her pacifier.
...has to have at least one little pinky and one big pinky (blankets) at bedtime.
...sleeps through the night almost every night from 8:30pm-7:30am and takes a 1-2hr nap in the afternoon.
...likes her bedtime routine to include a story, doing motions for songs with her feet, kissing through the bars of her crib and back rubs while humming.
...is such a joy to us.
...is very loved.
A look back.
This picture was taken in her first few days of life.
Here she is eating cake on her 1st birthday.
And here are the two siblings, today, snacking in a play structure that their dad and aunt used to enjoy when they were little.
Happy Birthday Clairey!
