Claire & Technology

Dearest Claire, 

This picture makes me giggle, Bear! You and Daddy on your phones. You learning your ABCs and Daddy checking the news or Facebook or his email. I love to watch you work as you try to figure things out. What is going on in that mind of yours? Claire, that is definitely something you got from your Daddy. To watch you grow, learn, and discover is such a gift. I love you! 

xoxo, Mama 

Our Growing Claire Bear

Dearest Claire Bear, 

Watching you grow and learn this summer has been such a gift! 

We have spent time at the beach and the lagoon with family. You love the ocean and squeal with delight when the waves come crashing in! 

You LOVE the swing at any park we visit.

You are pulling yourself to a stand at every chance you can and really want to walk. Little Bear, you are crawling like a boss and getting yourself into trouble! :)

Reading, reading, reading...you "read" in your crib before you fall asleep and you constantly are giving me books to read again and again. I love it!! 

You are a gift and I love you always, 

Mama

Claire & Daddy

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!
xoxo,
Mama
