Why hello! I’m new on this planet, so I’m still figuring out how cameras and social media work. My name is Claira Jane Sutton Levy, and after hanging around with my Mommy (you know her as Michaela) for most of the year, they cancelled my lease on December 13th and suddenly everything looked and sounded a lot different.

You might know my Daddy - he goes by the name Zach - and he and my Mommy are always around when I need something. Which is often. They’re really good at this family thing.

I have a big sister, Lilly, who’s been waiting what seems like forever for me to come out. It’ll be a little while before I can walk and talk and play, but already I know I’m loved beyond words, and it’s only a matter of time before she and I rule the world. Or the living room, for starters.

I’ve already learned a few things in my brief time here, like how everyone holds little rectangles of glass in their hands and points them at you, how they find it funny when I squirm, and how my dog Piper’s head is bigger than my entire body yet she already hovers nearby like a giant, gentle protector.

Right now I’m focused on eating and sleeping and growing and looking cute and being on the receiving end of these things they call hugs and kisses. It’s nice to be held. It’s nice to be on the outside. It’s nice to be part of a family. Especially mine.

I’ll share more soon. I’ll have stories, I promise.

Lots of love,

Claira
