Happy 2nd birthday, Claire!!!

Happy 2nd birthday, Claire Bethany Seale!!!!

How quickly the years have passed. I have not taken you to your well check yet, but I have measured you to be 33 inches long and 25 lbs. You already speak in sentences more than not, and are going in the potty like a big girl so long as I leave you butt naked. This could be a problem in the future. You are the frilliest little girl I could have imagined. Your favorite toys are your baby dolls and your kitchen and all of its accessories. I have never seen anyone more fascinated by shoes than you. You also love to be read to, and you sing in the car all the time. Your favorite songs are "Firework," by Katy Perry, and "Hold Me" by Jamie Grace. You are simply a sweet baby girl!

We didn't have super big birthday party for you. It was more like a small get together. You kids all enjoyed swimming in the backyard.

Claire floated around with Rachel while all the boys went nuts. Poor little Sara was just caught in the crossfire.

Pizza time!

fun with our silly friends

Claire was so funny. If you said, "Happy birthday, Claire" she would respond "Happy Birthday to you!"

She did get a little shy when we were singing for some reason.

She didn't have any problems blowing out her 2 candles.

She figured out the present thing pretty quickly, but she didn't rush through opening them like her brothers normally would. She got a lot of clothes (at my request), and she had to put on every single out fit after she opened it.

She had to test out this cute little baby doll high chair from the Bello's.

Claire and Micah.

Grandma got Claire this doll with snap on clothes, and she loves it. She even puts her snap on pajamas on her at bedtime. It is so cute!

A giant purple cupcake mess!!

As girly as you are, you still fight me tooth and nail over brushing and styling your hair. I am hoping you will grow out of that soon.

I am so excited to see what "2" brings! I hope it isn't terrible!!!!
We love you very much, Claire!!
