Little Bear Bear

Our beautiful Niece Clare turns two today! Born and unbelievable ten days apart, she is definitely Curtis's best buddy.

I love that she is obsessed with Little People. She knows all of their names and can pick them out among a thousand other toys.

I love that silly "Bear climbs over the mountain" song she sings anytime she sees a bear or hears the word bear.

I love that she inherited a huge sweet tooth. She can spot chocolate from a mile away!

I love that she truly loves Jesus, Mary, Joseph, The Holy Church, and is always actively involved in daily Mass.

I love that she calls herself BearBear about a thousand times a day.

I love that she is such a gentle soul. She loves babies and anything related to babies. She is going to be an amazing big sister in March!

I love that she is scared of lightning and sometimes airplanes.

I love that she is always super excited to see Gracie and then remembers that she doesn't really like her THAT much.

I love that she is a silly little person with a huge imagination. She is always coming up with new dances and wants to sing songs all day long.

I love that she admires the goat at the zoo that is always on the highest little hill at the petting zoo and that she attempts to imitate his feats whenever possible.

I love that she knows the name of everyone in her family and can recite them when asked.

I love the way she says "Hobby Lobby" or "dobby lobby" is her GiGi's favorite store!

I could go on for days! Most of all I LOVE that we are close enough to know all of things about her! I love that we are able to see her almost daily and that we are able to see her grow and change and blossom into a little lady.

We love you dearly Clare. You bring so much joy and love into our lives. We are blessed to have you as our niece. Happy Birthday BearBear!
