I seriously can't believe my little girl is 3!!! Where has time gone? I remember the day she was born so clear. We were a week overdue. My parents were getting ready to leave to Hawaii in a couple days and I was determined to have our baby before they left! I contracted all night and we went into the hospital that morning only to get sent home. I went to the dr's and begged him to strip my membranes again! He did and then I left and went to see Layne at his work. He was booking a very important golf trip for him and his brothers and dad. I was standing at his desk and my water broke. I looked at him and told him it broke and of course all his brothers were around and started tiptoeing around me in disgust! I was just laughing at them. Layne told me to hold on cause he had to finish booking that dang trip. After he was done we headed to the hospital. This time I couldn't be sent home. We got there around 4pm and had her at 12:43am. That was one of the best days of our lives! She was born at 6.13oz. and had tons of black hair that stuck straight up. She was beautiful!
Now she is getting so big and is going to be going to sunbeams in Jan and I want to bawl! I can't believe how fast those 3yrs has gone! I want it to slow down. It was such a battle to get her in our family and now I'm just trying to enjoy every bit of it. She gives us a run for our money sometimes but that's what keeps it interesting.
Right now My is loving to dance and sing! Everywhere we go we have to listen to her music. She begs me to turn it up and has started learning the words to her songs. She is starting to eat so much better and we can reason with her alittle better now days. I'm loving that part. She is saying the funniest things right now. If you ask her a question she'll respond with "yes I am mom." Everything is yes. She gets so frustrated with her little brother cause he loves to destroy whatever she is playing with. She'll get her horses just perfect and he comes and knocks them all down and she gets ticked off! She is obsessed with horses right now. She loves her Eeyore still and when she hasn't seen him all day she'll say "hi buddy, I've missed you." and then give him a hug. I love watching her imagination. It's getting so big. I could sit and listen to her play cause of what she says. She is learning her colors and shapes and can count to 10. These are just some of the things I don't want to forget!
I love that she is part of our little family. She couldn't wait this year for her birthday and I am having so much fun watching her grow up. I feel so blessed that she is my little girl and want to try better to appreciate the little things she does. I'll post her birthday next.
