My sweet Clara is two.

It's hard to believe that it's been two years since you were first placed in my arms.

You, my dear are absolutely precious.

Even though you have only been with us for two years, we know we've known you a lot longer.

You fit into our family perfectly.

Everything about you is as sweet as can be. You have the most beautiful big brown eyes and curly brown hair.

There isn't a lot of it, but its perfect. You have the cutest toothy smile and silliest little giggle.

You still have your binky and love to find hair around the house (mostly mine) and place it on your binky and then twist your binky around and around until the hair is completely wrapped around. The thing that is so funny about this is that your aunt Sophia did the exact same when she was your age!

You absolutely love Olivia. You want to be just like her and imitate everything she does.

I love watching you two interact and know that you will always be the best of friends.

You still don't really know how to talk, but that's okay because you are still as smart as can be.

You know exactly what is going on and what you want. You are obedient and always listen to me when I ask you to do something. 

You still love to be tightly swaddled before nap time and bedtime and rocked by me.

I cherish that time more than anything else.

You love your daddy. Especially when you both do silly things like dance and play hide and go seek.

You absolutely love to read and be read to.

Overall you are just the sweetest, happiest little Clara.

You are our sweet Clara and always will be.

No matter what, always remember that you are loved not only by your mom, dad, and Olivia, but by your two extended families as well.

Everyday we thank our Heavenly Father for giving you to us.

You are precious and perfect in every way.

We love you Clara Sophia! And can't wait for every other second we get to spend with you!

Love, Mom
