Two-Year-Old Princess

Today Claire went to the doctor for her two-year-old check-up.  The doctor declared her to be “perfect.”  I couldn’t agree more!

The skinny on our girl:

She’s now two feet 10 inches tall.  She weighs 25 lbs 14.4 oz.  These figures put her in the 33rd percentile for weight and the 42nd percentile for height.  For her height, her weight is perfect.  They did a blood test, and all of Claire’s numbers were perfect.  Developmentally, she is ahead of most of her age group.  She’s potty trained, can swim on her own, talks in sentences, can count to 10, knows most of the alphabet (She forgets a few of the letters in the middle sometimes.), can read some basic words, knows her colors, knows the names and sounds of most of the animals at the zoo, etc.

Claire is now wearing a size 2T or 24 months in everything, including pants.

Claire is smart and sweet and funny and charming.  She loves to entertain.  She loves caring for her babies.  She loves to help.  She loves cooking – both in our kitchen and in her new Minnie Mouse kitchen that she got for her birthday.  She loves to sing and dance.  She loves to swim and slide and swing and be outdoors.  She loves to snuggle and read books.  She loves people and is very friendly, polite and outgoing.

She still loves Minnie Mouse and is now loving the princesses too, especially Cinderella, a/k/a “Rella.”  Claire will sometimes declare, “The princess is me!”

She loves jewelry and dresses and getting her nails polished and her hair fixed.  She is such a girly girl!  After she gets dressed up, especially for church on Sundays, she announces, “Look, Daddy!  I’m boo-tiful!”

She’s very kind and loving and is going to be a wonderful big sister!

Steve and I are so blessed to have Claire in our lives.  She is more wonderful than we ever hoped, dreamed or imagined she would be.  We are so thankful that God gave her to us.  God is indeed the kindest person we know!

This will be the last post on Claire’s blog until her birthday month next year.  Thanks for sharing in another year of celebrating Claire!

Claire, we are so glad you’re ours!  Love you much!!
