Claire's first year

Claire was born on 2/12/10 at 2:12pm

weighing in at 5lbs 13oz

Mommy, Daddy, and Isabelle

fell instantly in love

Maddy was not so sure

After 3 days in the hospital

Claire was on her way home

At 6wks we had a family photo shoot

(much thanks to Steve Demke for the great pics!)

Mommy & Daddy took their turns

posing with Claire

Getting 3 girls in a shot

easier said than done

Then Claire got some

Solo Time

High Five!

Little Miss Personality

(and dimples!)

I love her toes

And to watch her sleep

Just like her sisters,

Claire likes to pose

Can you blame her

when she looks this cute?

What impresses me the most,

she's almost always smiling

I love my

Claire Bear

And she loves food

She's just growing

leaps and bounds

Though sometimes kisses

come in the form of licks

Before we knew it

she was standing
On Halloween

she couldn't BEE cuter

Oh & just in case you wondered

Color Explosion paper & Babies don't mix


And just when I thought she was big enough

She'd grow again

January 1st brought a new year

and her first teeth
It also brought RSV
With breathing treatments
Even while sick

she was still my happy girl

Now she's a year
And this cute little toddler

(though the not toddling independently)

has replaced my baby
