Happy Birthday Claire!!
Dearest Claire,
I love you so much! Celebrating your 1st birthday was so much fun. Surrounded my family and close friends, we sang, played, watched Frozen, ate yummy Chipotle, and scarfed down delicious cake. A joyous event!!
It is pure joy to be your mother!
Love you always,
Mama

Kisses from the Bear
My sweet Claire Bear,
You have started to give me and other family kisses. When I ask for one, you usually give one but you also give them to me spontaneously without being asked. You and your Papa have a tradition of "Noses" where you rub your noses together. Be still my heart, little Bear!

Claire Bear and Bedtime
Dearest Claire,
I wanted to document one of your routines you love, going to bed! Last week I put you in bed and I think you actually giggled. When you are tired, you are ready to go to bed and you let us know!
After dinner and playing and sometimes taking an evening walk, Daddy and I take you upstairs to begin bedtime. We usually play "Mama's gonna get you!" which involves me chasing you and Daddy, you clinging tightly to Daddy, searching for me and giggling.
On a bath night, I change you and wrap you in towels. You are so excited to take your bath, you squeal with delight and almost climb out of my arms. We go to the bathroom, brush your teeth, and put you in your massive rubber ducky minitub. A must for bathroom are your little toys, the owl, rubber ducky, beaver, swan, snail, and squirrel which you love to chew on. A new addition to your bath is a large blue cup that is used to rinse your hair but also for you to hold and drink water, both clean and soapy.
Once you play for a little time, the washing begins. You tolerate it when I use a washcloth and a brush for your hair.
Sorry baby girl, but I usually gets water in your eyes, but you wipe your eyes and keep playing! Such a noob Mama!
You let us know when you are done and ready to get out by reaching to climb out of the tub! We pick you up, towel you off and put on your snuggly sleeper.
Daddy and I read you three stories, In My Tree, Going to Bed Book, and Pajama Time in that order. We turn on the owlie night light, turn on fishies, turn off the light, and start your lullabies. We snuggle while you have your bedtime bottle. Once you reject the bottle and throw the cap on the floor, it is bedtime. I kiss you good night, pray over you, and put you in your crib with Wubby and Rally Bear.
You are a little girl of routine, definitely my daughter!
Love you ALWAYS,
Mama

Claire Bear, our California girl
Dearest Claire,
It is 57 degrees out and we are on our weekend walk to Starbucks and you are dressed warmly. You are a happy little traveler! What this picture doesn't show is how you pulled off your socks and pulled up your blanket so your toes could be free!! Last night you snored through the earthquake (5.1). You are truly our little California girl!
xoxo always,
Mama

My little sweetheart,
My love for you grows each and every day!
To watch you smile and listen to you "talk" every day is so special.
Your sassy personality is funny to witness and your inquisitive nature is a wonder to watch.
You are a gift!
Love you always,
Mama
