three ...and a half

She didn't go for the 'less is more' look when she decorated this cake today!

I can't believe the changes this past six months have made on you, since you turned three, Lilah Grace. You've become more independent, anything baby-like that you had left in you, is gone. You crack us up with all your funny little sayings and speaks. You're such a social girl, loving Friday Playgroups and anything that is associated with our Church - you feel right at home there. You also love Sunday School and you learn Bible verses on a weekly basis now, with vigor. And let me tell you, you are very proud of yourself and so are we. You never stop singing and it does our hearts good. Singing has changed our once quiet house and we adore listening to you sing beautiful happy songs. You love to eat anything and everything and your supper plate must be identical to ours, you can enjoy a good steak dinner as much as we can! So far, the only food item you have turned your nose up at is watermelon, and when you didn't like it your exact words were, "I don't care about that!". When we laughed at what you said, you told us Bear says that to Franklin! You are 39 inches tall now and weigh 28lbs, and you, sweet girl, are very much the entertainment in our house.

And Lilah, never ever forget, that we absolutely love you.
We're going to be together, forever and ever.

Happy three and a half, baby girl.
