2 years has gone by so fast, I swear the more kids you get the faster time goes. HaPPy BirTHDaY CLaiRe! Really babe, the last two years of our lives have been filled with chaos and some hardship and Heavenly Father gave you to us just at the right time knowing that we would need a bright star shinning in our house and giving us joy beyond belief! You really do shine so brightly, you know just how to fill up a room! Your presence is always felt and you bring an energy and sweetness everywhere you go. Goodness girl... you've got so many sides to you! You are really athletic, you bounce when you run and are really fast, you love to kick balls and play and wrestle, you are just a little muscle. You are really girly... I think this side comes from watching your big sister. You LOVE Ella to pieces and follow her everywhere; whatever Ella is doing you are doing. You love playing babies and playing polys with her, you love blasting music in Ella's room and dancing and singing, you love to play in the playhouse and sand together, you love to wear her shoes, you love to play with her and her friends. In fact, we joke a lot about you just skipped being 2 and jumped right to 3. Whatever Ella is doing you think you should be able to do, from pushing your own shopping cart at the store, to feeding yourself, you talk (and sass) up a storm, you constantly tell me, "I do it mom" or "I help you" (which means let me do it myself). You wanna be just like your big sister, and really you chose a great girl to look up to! You are also a bit shy and unsure of new surroundings and people. You will quickly nestle your head in the bend of my neck when someone or thing new is approaching. It can take you a little bit to warm up to new things and even extended family sometimes. You really don't like crowds or chaos at all, they totally overwhelm you. rooms with lots of people (parties), play lands, parks with lots of kids, pools with lots of kids, really anything where lots of noise and people are involved you tend to shy away and take some time to relax and participate. You LOVE your daddy... you have turned into quite the daddy's girl! Whenever he is around you are glued to him; teasing, laughing, playing and wrestling, snuggling. When he gets home from work, the second you hear the garage door open you run just about as fast as you can to the door to greet him! You Love Mas! you just have this special way of looking at him... its almost like you are in awe of him and really look up to him. He loves carrying you around on his back and wrestling with you! You love being outside playing and riding you little bike, you love your binkie and blankies (you cart them around everywhere and CANNOT sleep with out them), you go to bed so great without any complaining and sleep all night!!!! You are wanting your naps to start to go away, you aren't sleeping quite as long as you used to but are still willing to try. You cant get enough of Max and Ruby... you would watch it all day everyday; Backyardigans and Mickey Mouse are runner ups. You love it when I sing our "doo dee doo dee dododo do doo." lullaby to you, in fact you sing it to all your baby dolls. You weigh 31.5 lbs and are 36 inches tall which means you are big for you age and a very healthy and strong active, smart girl. Your language skills are above most 2 year olds and you love to learn. Such a smartie pants! You love Tinkerbell, chips, chocolate milk, yogurt, bananas, bugs (you will touch all bugs, you are the only one of our kids who likes bugs), puppies, horses (as long as you don't have to sit on them or feed them:), sour candy, you love the song, Boom Boom Pow, playing kitchen, jumping on you zebra, playing games on the iPhone, you definitely know how to through a fit, hates being the center of attention, and spinning! You are stubborn, independent, loving, obedient, fun, sweet, shy, happy, sassy, love to be my helper, compassionate, and truly unique and one of a kind.
You have a great purpose here on this earth and I know you came at a time when strong women will be needed. The light in your eyes and soul is great and you have a way of drawing people to you. Your stubbornness will help you choose and commit to doing whats right in life. and I know you will be so happy if you continue to follow your instincts and listen to what is taught to you. We are so blessed to have you as a part of this family! Being your mom is humbling and truly an honor. I LOVE you! Thank you for letting me be your mommy and giving me so much love in return! Happy Birthday! I am so excited to see your life unfold! Its going to be so fabulous!!!
