Happy 3rd Birthday Miss B!!!

Sweet Miss B, you are THREE today and Mommy has NO IDEA where all that time has gone.

You are, as mentioned a MILLION times before, the PERFECT addition to our family. You are silly, happy, snuggly, sweet, spicy, and a JOY to be around :)

You are the BEST Mommy squeezer and snuggler!

Things you love right now are... swimming... anywhere... anytime. Jumping off the boat into the lake, off the deck at TiTi's or off the patio around Bob's pool. You just LOVE to swim. You recently got upgraded to your sister's (aka Skylar's) bike with training wheels. No more tricycle for you! Still a little tippy but you are getting the hang of it. Pretty soon you'll be able to make it all the way to "Headder's House" too!

You love to play outside on the swing set, dig in the dirt, and of course...play with your puppy. For some reason you have it stuck in your head that he loves headlocks and we are constantly having to pull yah off him ;) You just love animals of all kinds and it is fun to see that grow by having your own puppy to love on.

You're pretty easy going as far as where are we going on what sort of an adventure. You are not TOO picky about what you wear but if something is uncomfortable (jean shorts, elastics in short sleeves) you REFUSE.

You like to sing made up songs in the car with your sister and then sing along to the radio when it is a song like "Holy Spirit you are welcome here... come flood this place and fill the atmosphere...." Not much cuter than you praising Jesus in my book.

You have memorized four Bible verses so far this summer and I'll do a whole blog post with video for that later. In September you'll be done with the nursery at church and you'll be headed into Jr. Church with Minnie and the other "big" kids. You are really excited about that!

You love to eat pasta (especially mac 'n cheese) veggies like cukes, green beans and sometimes tomatoes. Always tomatoes if they are yellow ones ;) You remind me every time we go to the store that those are your "fab-rit". You eat fruit all the time and LOVE LOVE any sort of berry. Vanilla ice cream is your go-to dessert but you wouldn't turn down an Oreo ;) You eat most meats and especially like chicken sausage :)

I honestly have NO IDEA what you are going to do without this girl once school starts for her in a few weeks. You and Mommy will be in a corner somewhere holding each other, crying and rocking back and forth ;) You fight like sisters and love like there is no tomorrow. You have moments when you just play together so well... you love playing house with her, doing arts and crafts, playing play dough, dress-up and taking care of your babies together. I pray that your relationship stays close and united... no one knows you better than your sibling... I'm so thankful you have each other.

Miss B, we are so blessed to call you our own...I can NOT imagine a time when you were not a part of us and sharing your gift of how you view life with us every second...

We are hanging on for the ride of "3" but we made it through with your sister and we'll make it through with you too ;) just be gentle ok? :) Grace, patience, love and kindness will go a long way these next several months... let's both try to remember that shall we? :)
