Our Claire Bear turns 2 today. It is hard to imagine life without Claire and it seems like she has been around longer than 2 years. It is funny because Abby now has hardly any memory without her being in it. Claire was a very difficult baby and infant. It seems like it has been a long road with her to get to where we are now. But, she brings so much joy into our lives!! I thought I would give you some little known facts about her...
