Stay My Babies
Despite my efforts to keep them my tiny little babies, Claire and Keely are growing up! In just a week we will celebrate their first birthday.
These beautiful rays of sunshine have brought so much joy into our lives. We thank God every day for blessing us with our wonderful girls. My prayer is that David and I can raise them to love the Lord with all their hearts. We look forward to all He has planned for their lives.
Claire is such a happy little girl. Smiles from the moment she wakes up to the time we lay her down in her crib. She really is a sweet cuddly bear. Right now she loves to stand holding on to anything. She is standing unassisted more and more. I would not be surprised if Claire took her first steps any day now.
She loves trying new table foods. Right now her favorite foods are string cheese, strawberries, and waffles.
She loves to sleep with her Baba blanket and her dalmation dog. She says "Daddy" a lot, along with lots of other baby babble (and screeching).
Claire gives the best slobbery kisses, and she is not picky about who she smooches. Usually anyone who holds her gets at least one big smackaroo!
She likes to wave bye-bye (sometimes after the person is completely out of sight), and she likes to clap. She has a great belly laugh.
Little Lady Keely
Keely is also a really joyful baby. She likes to chat with her Sissy first thing in the morning until I get her out of her crib.
She can stand unassisted, but she prefers to hold on to something. She is pretty fond of crawling. This walking thing does not seem all that great in her eyes.

Keely is very attached to Mommy. She can say "Mama", but she usually only says it when I'm leaving the room. It works every time! She also talks about Daddy all day long.
Keely likes to give kisses, but only when the mood strikes her. She is a bit shy with strangers.
She likes to sleep with her giraffe and her brown doggie. When I go to check on her at night she is usually snuggled up with one of them, sucking her thumb.

Keely likes to eat as well: waffles, fresh fruit, granola bars are among her favorites.
She has a great sense of humor, and she is really ticklish.
She can wave bye-bye and clap, and she loves it when we sing to her.
Both Claire and Keely adore their big sister. Brooke really hung the moon! If either girl is sad, Brooke can have them smiling in no time. It really warms my heart to see the girls' love for each other.
The girls, up to no good: getting into the wipes. What's a mommy to do? Good thing we buy baby wipes in bulk!
This is just the beginning of what I'm sure will be a month long birthday blog tribute to my three May babies. I am working on birthday videos for the girls, then we have actual birthday days, the big party, and who knows what else.
Those are great pictures (and CUTE hats)! So neat to find out their interests and differences. They are so precious!
