My first baby

It is hard to believe that my baby is turning 3. I remember the moment that she was first laid into my arms. I am so excited for her life to unfold but at the same time I want everything to just stand still. Every day I see a little more of her personality and every moment I love her even more. I love that I can have little conversations with her about her day and I love that she can express how she feels to me. We have definitely had some challenges in the past year but we have strengthened our relationship through each one. She still has a great love for both music and for reading. She can count to 14, say her ABC's and knows most of her colors. She loves to help and loves to learn. But my favorite attribute is her heart. She always tells me that she loves me and misses me, she says "mom I am going to buy you candy and flowers!". She tells me I look so nice and when I come up with good ideas to play she says "mom you are so sweet!". She is hilarious and says some of the cutest things.. She always notices if you are wearing something new and will say "is that new? it is so cute!".. anyway i could go on and on about all of the amazing things over the past year but I will stop and post a couple of my favorite 3 year shots..
