Our girl is 3!

To our beautiful girl as you turn THREE!

I know it gets said constantly but I cannot believe you are already three years old.  It seems like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital.  Momma got to bring you home on your due date December 14, 2011.  It was such a nice day outside; the temperature was in the 60s.  It had snowed just three days earlier on your birth day.  You have had such a big year this year.  It is amazing the things you were accomplishing and you were only TWO!  You are completely potty trained and have been since about March.  Daddy was weird about making you were pull ups to bed until at least June.  We wasted about 2 bags J  You have gotten to bond with your baby sister and have done so well with her.  Momma is so proud of you for so many reasons.  She loves you so much, and just smiles when she sees you.  I love to see how you two interact with one another and I know you will be best friends when you grow older.  You have the vocabulary of a grown up, always using big words and phrases.  Sometimes the things that come out of your mouth blow us away.  You are so intelligent and clever, I hope so much that you stay that way.  You have always seemed so much older than you really are.  We went on our first family vacation as four this year to Carillon Beach in Florida.  You and daddy caught a crab and petting on it, then it spit on daddy J    You covered sister in sand (accidentally) and we had to hose her down our first day at the beach.  You are such a beautiful girl inside and out.  Momma never wants you to forget what a beautiful heart you have.  You are so caring and loving, those are traits I feel that you got from your daddy.  You have actually gotten a lot of traits from your daddy, your intelligence, your comic ability and your sneakiness.  Your hair has grown out a lot in the past year and its still curly.  Momma doesn’t really know what to do with it but I will learn before you get older.  I wish you would let me put a clip in it but you are too stubborn to let me.  Its always in your face but you say “I like it that way.”  Oh, you are so silly!  We love you so much.  We are so proud of you and happy that we get the pleasure of being your mom and dad.  We never know what to expect from you, always keeping us on our toes J  We love you so much!

LOVE

MOMMA!
