Happy First Birthday, Claire!

Claire Suzanne was the last of the triplets born weighing in at 4lbs 3oz. She is the youngest, the only girl and the smallest of the bunch. But don't feel sorry for her. They say that girls are made of sugar and spice, well this little girl is mostly spice. She, at times, can be a total princess and then the next minute is more ruff and tumble than the boys. But the one constant is that she is a huge Daddy's girl!
Claire sat on my left side curled up in a little ball for most of the pregnancy. She had the least amount of space but she caused the most trouble. If she was awake and moving, her brothers had to be awake and moving. She would always start the movement cascade around my belly.
Still to this day, Claire is the smallest. She always befriends one of her brothers for the day. She is also likes to mimic the activities that I do. She helps me wash the boys hair in the tub and helps be take dishes out of the dishwasher and then hands them to me. She likes to put toys away and trust me I am going to nurture this love cleaning for my advantage.
