one year old


Clara Louise - oh child.  In many ways you have changed my life forever.  You are strong and sweet.  You have many needs and have a voice to communicate your needs.  You don't sleep real well, but give great middle of the night smiles and cuddles.  The Lord has used you and your sister in this last year to teach me what is means to grow deeply in the area of patience and greater surrender.

You are super close to walking and taking more and more steps each day.  You love most food.  You love being dirty and have acquired the nickname pigpen.  Baths are mandatory around here for you, but it is ok because you love them.  You want everything your sister has.  You have a tender heart towards babies and love to give others hugs.  You have developed a love for reading and love the book "Brown bear, Brown bear, what do you see?"  You love your sister and she makes you laugh more than anyone.

You are quick to smile.  You are reckless and are constantly throwing your little body around.  You love a party.  You are living up to the meaning of your name - bright warrior.  You are a great delight!!  We love you so much Clara Louise.
