I love you Claire Bear!!

the Bear & the Beach

Take me to the beach my people! 

No pictures, please! 

 I am fabulous, yes I am! 

To my dear Claire Bear, 

We have taken you to the beach twice and I think you love it! 

You love the wind, the waves, the sounds! 

We put your toes in the cold water and you cried and looked at us with eyes of betrayal. How dare you parents!! 

I love showing you new places and watching you explore and learn! 

Love always, 

Mama

Bear at three months

Dearest Claire,

You are three months old!! 

I love to watch you think and concentrate, listen to you giggle and coo, and my heart melts when you smile at me.

You love your fingers and gnaw on them frequently. You kick your long legs when you are excited. You love being social and have definitely captured all of our attention.  You are very talkative and express yourself so well.

My world has been forever changed by you and I wouldn't have it any other way. 
With you, we have our little family.

Love you always, 
Mama

The Giggling Bear

Dearest Claire Bear, 

You giggled this past weekend and it was such a sweet and lovely sound. After you giggled, you looked at us and wondered what that sound was. Your Daddy and I looked at each other and laughed, which caused you to smile and giggle some more. Many giggles are created after hearing one of Daddy's funny voices. Slowly you will learn that all those sounds are coming from you! 

I love watching you grow and learn more and more everyday. Keep on giggling my little love! 

All my heart,

Mama 

Guess what?!?

Claire Bear wants everyone to know that she went to her first Angels game this week! She thought it was so much fun, she loved the fireworks, and was able to meet a new friend. Even though she had to leave early because she totally pooped through two onesies, Claire was able to see her first 'crush' Mike Trout! I think many Angels games are in her future! 

Show me more Mike Trout, Daddy!! 

Mama, why am I dressed like a boy? 

Hanging out at home watching the Angels with Rally Bear! 

Me likey the milk Mama!

To my silly little Bear, 

You have found your tongue and like to display it as often as possible. Truthfully, you look a little milk drunk in these pictures which has led to many giggles from me. I love your growing little personality! Stay silly Claire Bear! 

Love, 

Mama

Daddy & Claire

Dear sweet Claire, 

I love to watch you with your Daddy. You bat your eyelashes at him, smile when he walks in the room, and wrap your little fingers around one of his when he feeds you. 

One day we were hanging out and I heard the garage door open, indicating Daddy was home. As soon as I announced that, you looked around to find him. What a sweet moment!!

You are his daughter, his baby girl, and he loves you so much. He is an amazing husband and father, so continue adoring him Claire! 

xoxo to you Bear, 

Mama
