BIRTHDAY GIRL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE BEAR!! Our baby girl turned 2 on Tuesday! She has been such a blessing in our lives and we just love her to pieces! We celebrated her special day with a party last Sunday and then again on her actual birthday. She was spoiled with lots of great girlie stuff!

Modeling her new Nebraska cheerleading outfit in preparation for football season ( much to my despise)

A very chic new apron from the very creative Summers family! Thank you!

I had our very talented neighbor, Elizabeth, once again make us a super yummy cake...almond flavored with raspberry filling!

Hmmm...not sure I can blow out these TWO whole candles!

On Tuesday the four of us went to Pump it Up for open play time to let her do two of her FAVORITE THINGS....JUMP and SLIDE!!








Here are some fun facts about our TWO year old!

1. She arrived in 7-27-08 at 5:24 am in record time. I am pretty sure she was half way out by the time we got to the hospital. She weighed 7lbs 15 oz and was 20.5 inches long

2. She has BEAUTIFUL hair! Seriously she gets compliments on this all the time! It is the hair I have always dreamed of having, thick blond hair with perfect wispy curls at the end.

3. She LOVES food! Seriously, there isn't much this kid won't eat and she eats a TON of it! She has some serious chunky monkey thighs going for her!

4. She LOVES anything girlie...manicures and pedicures, playing dress up, taking care of her babies, hair bows, dresses, and most importantly shoes!

5. She continues to suck the first 2 fingers of her right hand..we are saving for braces for this kid.

6. Her vocabulary is still limited to only a few words, but she definitely gets her point across by pointing, grunting, screaming or kicking until we figure out what she wants.

7. She is NEVER to busy for a good snuggle with her momma and her blankie!

8. She hates to be dirty...every day after daycare she takes off her shoes in the car on the way home, looks at her filthy feet and says "ewww" I give her a wipe and she cleans her feet up on the way home! She also lets me know IMMEDIATELY if she has pooped...brings me a new diaper and insists on me dropping everything I am doing to change her!

9. She LOVES Curious George and could actually sit for hours and watch him!

10. She gets embarrassed super easy! If you laugh at her and she isn't laughing back, she will BREAK DOWN or if we tell her NO, she will burst into tears! We are all hoping she outgrows this stage or we are in for a real treat when she is a teenager!


AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...We love her so much! She is our precious, beautiful baby girl! We can't wait to see what your next year brings!
