Happy Birthday Claire!

My babe is 3 today! 


I can hardly believe that I have a 3 year old baby. Claire is such a great addition to our family. Before she was born I just knew I was having a boy! Her pregnancy was just like Kyle's was so I had 3 ultra sounds becasue I knew they were all wrong. The morning of my c-section our Dr. asked up what we thought we were having and at that point I said that I didn't really care as long as it was a chubby little babe. (tiny babies scare me) Out she comes and the first thing I hear is the doctor laughing out loud saying that I got my wish and she is a fat little one. Coming out at 9 pounds 6 ounces, she was totally chubby and had curly red hair to boot. I instantly forgave her for not being a boy and fell in love.
This past year in Claire's life she has grown up so much. She talks so well. She learned her ABC's and the sounds that they make. she loves to jump out and scare people, she loves her brother and sisters, she loves to run errands with mom. She started to be shy around others, just like her big brother did. (It is so much fun to see that her mannerisms and character is just like Kyle's even now that she is out of my belly.) She loves to draw and just the other day she drew a picture of Robert and I. Priceless!
Happy Birthday Claire Bear!

Wow, that picture is amazing for 3! I can't believe how big she is. Her cake is super cute too. you are such a great mom!

I think all your kids are adorable. I'm sure I think that partly because they look a lot like my little kids looked & they were very cute! Little round faced blondes are the best!!!! NO offense to your dark haired ones! They are cute too!

I can hardly beleive that Claire is 3 years old. She is such a cutie and quite the artist. :)
