October 19: Two turning to THREE!

Little Sweetie's big three year-old moment had so much build up, I had to make a separate post for it! We had her  pictures taken; threw her an early birthday party with her god-sibling, L; had a special Momma-daughter day; painted pottery, and had a cheesecake lunch with her friends!  I'm pretty sure that she is going to inherit her momma's habit of celebrating birthdays for the entire month!

Look at this angel...you'd never know that she was a complete monster during this photoshoot!  This is the magic of our photographer!

     

Loves her Daddy!

     

     

Yeah, the on the ground pictures are adorable...but they are also because SHE THREW HERSELF ON THE GROUND AND REFUSED TO GET UP.  Hello, Threenager!  The running picture that shows off her super cool Paw Patrol dress?  Yeah, she was trying to run away from getting her picture taken.

But Momma still loves her.  

     

     

I'm a little concerned about how big her smiles is WHILE SHE RUNS AWAY FROM US.  Sigh.

These family shots mean more than I can convey.

Finally, one shot that captures her sparkling personality during this whole picture process.  

     

     

She's three.  And we love her.  But she's puts us through our paces!

Ready for some birthday fun with L at their joint party at The Little Gym!

     

Welcome friends!

     

Dance time was a big hit!

As was parachute time!

Enjoying her birthday girl status!

     

Birthday boy L was content to watch the proceedings with his daddy.

Birthday kids with their godparents!

Blessed to have this wonderful god-family!  :)

Excited for new furniture for her dollhouse!

And, before we knew it, it was someone's last day of being two!  We decided to go out with a bang.  But first we had to make sure she was healthy!

     

     

The toys in the waiting room were the best part of her well check, lol.  Actually, she rocked her blood pressure and other vitals signs, aced the eye test, and behaved perfectly during her physical.  She wasn't thrilled about her flu shot, but at least it was the only shot she needed this time!

Story time helped soothe her after her shot.  As did the 5 lollipops the doctor gave her for her birthday. 

Enjoying her lollipop on the throne at Sweet and Sassy.

     

I'm going to be 3 tomorrow!

She asked for two specific things for her birthday...color on her nails and flowers.  Momma decided to make the first one come true.

Loved the bubbles!

And there's the color!

Did a great job with her manicure too!

Checking out the paint job!

So happy!

     

Walking the stage to show off!

Look at those pretty nails!

     

We ended the day by giving Big Brother's horse a carrot (that's her special job at horse therapy!) and drawing a pretty amazing puppy!

The birthday gifts were set out with care!

And we have a three year-old!!!

     

The newly minted three year-old wanted to start her day off painting with her friends.  She picked a cupcake!

     

Excited for a birthday cheesecake surprise!  Momma, Daddy, her friends, and her godparents came to celebrate her!

The wee ones!

     

Burn off a little energy with some mall playtime...

...before a nice birthday nap!

     

And then Daddy brought her the birthday flowers she requested!

Flowers and cake.  Life doesn't get much better.

     

Cake time!

     

And the reveal of the big present from Momma and Daddy...a new bike!  No more tricycles for this big girl!

     

Ending the day with our beautiful batgirl, Rainbow Brite-loving, doctor daughter.  You're everything, baby girl.  And you can BE anything.  Never forget that!

We love this girl so much.  Until next time,
