Rewind...

Last week was Claire's 1st Birthday. I thought that I would post some pictures of my little babe. While I was looking through all my pictures, I had such a hard time deciding on which pictures to post. There are just so many super cute pictures! The ones I ended up posting are some of my favorites.
Claire is the sweetest baby! We absolutely love her to death and are having so much fun raising her. I can't even begin to explain what a sweet, pleasant baby she is. It seriously feels like the only time she cries, or should I say, "fusses" is when she is hungry/thirsty or tired. And I think that the only reason she even does then is because she doesn't know how else to communicate that she needs something. She is such a happy, sweet baby. And I tell you what, Ericka absolutely loves her to death! Claire puts up with a lot from Ericka. She really tolerates Ericka's "sisterly" love very well. They are so cute together sometimes!! We are so grateful to have two such sweet children in our family. And we are so grateful that Claire is one of them. ( Oh yeah, the dates on the pictures are wrong on this post. I did change the date, so from here on out, they will hopefully be correct)

Look at those chubby cheeks!!

Oh boy, I love, love, love this picture! She was only about a week old.
The day after we came home from the hospital with our new little girl...oh the memories.
Look at that little baby doll...she was so little!
Claire right after she wa born, well, I guess a couple of hours after.
I honestly can not even explain how fast time goes. I thought it went fast once I got married, and then even faster when we had our first baby. But seriously, it goes faster with each kid you have.You truly want it to slow down, but it seems the more you would like it to, the quicker it flies by. It feels like it has been but a moment. I am so blessed to have the sweet children I have. I love them so very much and am so very, very grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who has allowed me the opportunity to raise some of his precious children. I love my children so very much and feel tremendously blessed to have them in my life! And to my sweet babe Claire, I love you honey!!
