Spotlight on Claire

Claire A Worton
Nicknames: ClaireBear, Claire-ee, Pretty Girl

Over the past 7 months and more I have found Claire to have a pretty spunky personality. Even before she was born she definitely made her presence known. On bedrest, I spent many hours a day in weird positions on the couch trying to be comfortable while she stretched her body out and kicked my ribs constantly.
She was a stubborn little girl from the beginning, getting stuck against me when she was coming out. It took a lot to push her out and in the end she had quite an impressive bruise covering her entire head for about a week.
She scared us a little in the first week of her life in the NICU when she came down with an infection. She was able to receive her first Father's Blessing when she was only 3 days old and soon recovered.
Now she is a cute, spunky, motivated, and smart little girl. She knows what she wants and works so hard to get it (i.e. remotes, phones, food, her sister's toys etc). She may be small but that doesnt stop her from being the first to roll over (at two months), sit, and start to crawl. She is quick to smile and laugh at anyone who will give her attention. She loves to play and move all the time.
We are truly blessed to have Claire as our daughter!
Here are some pictures of her life thus far!
