Miss Kate Turns 3!

Can't believe my baby is 3! Miss Kate - We just adore you. You are the cutest, happiest little thing. You are such an easy going little girl who is spoiled by her older brother and sisters.

Here are a few things about you at age 3:

1. You LOVE Dora and would watch it non-stop if I let you! You also love to play Nick Jr on the computer whenever you can get a chance (which isn't often with your siblings always being on them).

2. You play dress up almost every day and love to wear princess dresses.

3. And speaking of clothes . . . almost every day you insist on wearing a skirt. Shorts just won't do!

4. You are quite the little swimmer. You wanted to take swim lessons with Chloe and I really doubted you'd be able to keep up. But you rocked! You did so great and you love to stay under the water . . . much longer than I'm comfortable with!

5. You love to count things and you're learning to identify letters. You love to point them out wherever we go.

6. You are my little helper in the kitchen. Whenever you hear the mixer come out, you drag your little chair into the kitchen to see what you can do to help (knowing that you'll then be able to lick the beaters later). You love to crack the eggs, pour things in and stir.

7. You never walk anywhere. You flit and fleet and twirl around wherever you're going. You tip toe and gallop and leap all around. You're so cute to watch.

Your big day started a day early when Aunt Tori and Ryan took you to Build A Bear and let you choose a stuffed animal. You picked this cute little dog and named it T-Ava.

As soon as you woke up on your bday you asked if you could blow out your candles, so you got to do that several times throughout the day! And your request for bday breakfast was banana chocolate chip pancakes.

All day long you kept singing "Happy Birthday to Me. . . " and then you'd ask me "Mom, are you so proud of me?" I am Kate. More than you'll ever know!

We got ready for your big day and then headed out to Peter Piper to meet the cousins for lunch.

Your bestest friends - Carson & Grant

And following tradition, we took just the birthday girl to the restaurant of your choice . . . big surprise . . . Red Robin!

We love you Miss K-K! Now stop growing up so fast please!
