Happy Birthday Emma!

I can not believe that my baby girl is already three years old. It makes me so sad! I am amazed at how fast time has gone by and what a gorgeous little girl we have. She is the most brilliant, polite, sassy, clever, hilarious, and sweetest little girl. I'm not biased or anything! She couldn't be any funnier if she tried. We went to her well check yesterday and she is perfect in every way. She was 35 3/4 inches tall (25%) and 27.8 pounds (35%). I am not surprised that she is only in the 25% since everyone comments on how little she is. She has a BMI of 15.1 so she is completely healthy! Dr Kara asked her about her favorite foods, what happens when she gets in trouble and to count and draw shapes. They tried to check her vision but she was being shy and not wanting to talk to the nurse.

Some of the things I am most amazed about -

- She knows the whole alphabet and can recognize all the letters when she sees them.
- Can count to 15 all the time and to 20 sometimes but usually throws in a couple 18's before he gets all the way to 20 :)
- She LOVES all art and `will choose to color over doing anything else.
- She is SO polite always saying please and thank you.
- She is so loving and will say things like "I am so glad you are home, I missed you SO much" even when we are only gone for a few minutes. :)
- She makes us sing 5 songs every night in a particular order for her to be able to go to sleep.
- She loves to give us lots of kisses and hugs for no reason at all. She also give them to Owen and the dog but they don't appreicate them as much!

She is getting into the non-stop talking phase where she wants to talk about everything. She has a great vocabulary but sometimes it can be a bit much! I am sure this is only the beginning of her love for talking. She is going to get me back for all the times I would talk on the phone for hours and my parents would tell me to get off the phone, how could I possibly talk THAT much?!

Her newest loves are Disney princesses and anything that has to do with them. She will watch the same movie over and over again if we would let her. Her newest favorite is Sleeping Beauty but before that she watched Little Mermaid and Cinderella every day for months.

We could not be more proud of our little girl :)

I can't get to the photos on the external hard drive since it is still packed somewhere and I don't have the photos from her birthday yet, I will have to get them off my moms camera this weekend and will post them then.

Here is something I made for her scrapbook that shows just how much she has grown from birth to now. Unbelievable!
