Today is a very special day in our family as we celebrate Claire's first birthday! I have posted some of my favorite pictures from this past year...hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane, it's a sweet one!
Claire rocked our world about 30 minutes before this picture...here with her very proud dad, she is freshly bathed and ready to see her mom!
My three girls enjoy some time with the newest little girl in the family...such a wonderful moment!
In March Nicole and Claire came to stay for a week while David was out of town for his job. We looooooved every minute of it!
Katelyn and Claire had lots of bonding time : )
Happy Birthday Nicole and Pop!
Easter morning...at this point she was still into napping!
In April Nicole and I took Claire to the beautiful Southern Living Botanical Gardens in Birmingham
Her baptism in June
Also in June, we had a little meet and greet Claire get together in Panama City, here pictured with
great grandma Mary Dodd and Aunts Katelyn and Chelsea.
Chelsea's favorite gift to buy Claire...bathing suits!!! Here together in the pool at Carillon
In August Claire loved entertaining us!
Thanksgiving morning...Claire is wearing a new dress made by her mom and is enjoying
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with Aunt Chelsea!
Christmas card pictures taken Thanksgiving weekend...Claire was adorable!
By Christmas she had mastered eating bananas and cheerios...the spoon is more a toy at this point.
Her first Christmas Eve pajamas...I love traditions : )
Christmas morning she loved the wrapping paper and boxes...the boxes could have been empty!
All dressed up and ready to go see the rest of the family for the day, Claire wears the beautiful Christmas dress Nicole made for her...so sweet
After Christmas we took the kids to Orlando...while they were having a ball over at Universal's World of Harry Potter, Rich and I strolled Claire through the much more civilized EPCOT and took her to a very quaint French restaurant (she covered the floor in cheerios...)!
The Carousel in Magic Kingdom
Meeting Mini Mouse with a bit of hesitance...
And well before her 1st birthday Claire practiced her very favorite newly acquired skill.....walking, walking, walking!! There is no stopping her now!
