Happy 2nd Birthday Baby Claire!

(Caution Very Long Post- Keep scrolling down to see pics)
Happy birthday my love! Its was just 2 years ago when we held you in our arms for the first time. I remember your little eyes looking up at me and knowing me.Thank you for entering in our lives and into our family. You have made our lives so much richer and it has been a pleasure being your Mommy and Daddy. 

Clarie's updates- (Doc appointment with stats coming soon....)

1. Potty Training- Claire decided she wanted to learn how to use the potty about 6 weeks ago. She got up from the dinner table, grabbed her diaper, yelled "POOP!" And then ran to the pink potty. She pooped in the pink potty her first time ever. We couldn't have been more proud!   At this time she is still using the little pink potty and going on it whenever she feels the urge. Next step- Big girl panties.

2. I swear she is learning 10 new words a day! She will say a word out of no where. I really love her little voice and cute lisp. Even though her words are becoming more clear, I love that fact that we have our own mama and daughter communication. 
 My new favorite Claire words are:  Ducky- "Gucky", Shoe- "Foo", I love you- "Two", "Go outside", "Sit down", "Bubbles", M&M- "EmEm," "Help! Help!" "Wait, wait wait!" "Go popies house?"
She is starting to learn names, right now she knows- Cami, Marmie, Popi, Stefani- "Stepami",
Natalie- "Ollie", Matt, Andee- "Ani", Hannah, Grandpa- "Papa",

3. Claire knows the alphabet to each letter and doing good on the sounds, right now we are learning the ABC song.  She also loves to count to 10 in English and in Spanish!!!  -Thank you Dora!
4. We are also working on colors and shape- Her favorites are- Pink, Green- "Geen", Red, white, blue-"Boo", Heart, diamond, circle.

4. Claire loves to sing and dance- She will dance to every song that comes up in the car or at home. Her favorite kid songs are: Twinkle, Twinkle, Wheels on the bus, Apples and bananas, Miss Polly, The Moon song, and Pop corn popping, with all of the hand motions....of course!

5. Obsessed is not a strong enough word for her feelings for Dora and Boots, Diego, and Elmo.  All of her birthday presents pretty much involved one of those characters. lol She also enjoys back-yardigains.

6. Favorite Movies are- Monsters Inc- "Sinc", The Incredibles, and Tangled.

7. Favorite foods- All Fruits, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, cheese crisp, Chinese food, Italian pasta and pizza, and she lovesssss her snacks- Gold fish-" Go Feesh", Banana- "Nana", and her dots.

Words cannot express how much love we have for this girl.

Claire- Thank you for making me a Mommy and your dad a Daddy. You have an amazing spirit and bright personality, you are kind, sweet, and sensitive, despite you getting your daddy's looks, you are one Gorgeous little girl. =) You love your family, friends, and playing outside.  You enjoy nursery, bubbles, throwing the ball, and reading every book in the house! We cant wait to see what a wonderful young lady you will soon be....just take as long as you like getting there.

Love you Claire Bear!
