Today is the last day of the birthday month. It has been so much celebrating our girl!
The last two years have been absolutely wonderful! Claire is so sweet and so funny. She is such a joy! I am truly honored to be her mommy. Happy 2nd Birthday, Baby Girl! I love you much!!!
Claire’s 2-year checkup is scheduled for July 6th. I’ll do another post after that appointment to update you on her 2-year stats.
Thank you for celebrating Claire’s birthday with us!
Last night we took Claire to the Memphis Zoo. She loves the zoo; so do we!
Playing on the new playground
Riding the carousel – Claire loves elephants and was so excited to get to ride one.
We had a great time! We saw lots of animals and enjoyed the time as a family. I know that Claire is most likely the only party animal you care to see pictures of, but I just couldn’t resist sharing this picture of Payton, the Polar Bear – so cute!
My loves enjoying the zoo together!
I am so very blessed!! Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!
“Colors!”
“I paint!”
And then somehow, the finger paints turned into body paints. (It should be noted that Mommy was sleeping in, and Daddy was supervising – and encouraging – this painting party.)
Note the paint on the knees and arms. Now she’s painting herself a beard.
Time for a bath
She colors our world beautifully!
Today Claire received a Hello Kitty coloring book.
Claire wanted to start coloring right away. She simply couldn’t wait until after breakfast.
I totally love this girl!
Last night at our Bible study, Kelsie made Claire some Minnie Mouse cake pops for her birthday. They were so cute! And delicious!
Claire started by eating the ears.
Thank you, Kelsie! We know a lot of time and effort went into making these yummy treats for our little girl! We love you!!
Claire has a Fisher Price Doodler Mini that “lives” in my purse. It goes with us everywhere and entertains her when necessary. Anytime she wants it, she asks for her “colors.” When she opened her gift this morning, she screamed, “Big colors! Yay!”
Claire received another gift in the mail!
Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa O! We love you!!!
Claire was SO excited about her gift this morning! She squealed and yelled, “Minnie socks! Help! Help!” as she brought them to me to help her put them on.

I love how excited my daughter gets over the little things in life – like new socks that have Minnie Mouse on them. It’s so easy to make her happy, and she’s so thankful for life’s simple pleasures. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful daughter!
