TWO!!!!!!

Our sweet and precious Claire,

What a special year you've blessed us with!

From silent signs. . .

. . .to speaking your mind.


From timid first steps . . .

. . . to a reckless run.


From wispy strands of hair barely there . . .

. . . to . . . well, we've still got time on this one!


You've learned so much this year, but have taught us still more. Thank you for sloppy kisses and big bear hugs. God blessed us beyond our wildest dreams when He brought you into our lives! Happy birthday baby girl! We love you!!

What a SWEET post! I love the rhyming...and the hair thing she got honestly (shall we show a few of your early no-hair pictures?) You did a FANTASTIC job with this! Of course, Claire gave you some great material to work with...ha!
