Summer D Is Three!

I am just a little unsure how this tiny baby...


...turned into this little girl!


The little girl who didn't want any cake.  She only wanted to lick all the frosting off of the Barbie:)  Whatever, kid, it's your birthday!


The Barbie, by the way, who was just a little too tall and had to be dismembered before she would work for the cake!


Anyway.  Summer is quite the joy to have around.  Some of her current favorites include gum, painting, David & Goliath, watching movies (bonus if it's a movie about D & G!), being outside, reading books, and having dad and mom play WITH her.


She is definitely maturing in character and brain development.  We can see that in how she interacts with others and how she is starting to have better understanding of how things work.  As much as I can get sappy about life going too fast and kids not staying little, it's so fun to see that growth and be able to do more with her than before.  


But now she is boycotting her naptime which is the norm these days.  It's always fun to hear what kind of songs she'll come up with while she's passing the time in her room.  But I suppose since it's her birthday she can get up and play:)  

Happy Birthday Summer Danielle!

When You...


When you just sit there in cute happy moods and mommy HAS to take a picture...


When it's finally warm enough to go on walks and play outside where you get such joy from banging a stick against a tree....


When you hit the snack time jackpot and daddy gives you frosting and a spoon...


When you wake up with some serious bedhead...


When you are Just. So. Booooooorrrrreeeeed and can think of nothing better to do with your life...


When you have the glasses, gap in the front teeth, and nerdy laugh all working together...


When you decide your pregnant self NEEDS a cookie dough and brownie chunk blizzard and your hubby runs and gets you one after the kids go to bed...


When you get this treasure in the mail from someone who still hasn't fessed up...
BEVY?!?!?!?!


When you have such fun playing in the big chair at the doctor's office but have no clue you are about to get your blood drawn...


When you get a real good chuckle out of watching your nephew's t-ball game...


When you never tire of going up the stairs and down the slide, up the stairs and down the slide and on and on and on...


When you are once again reminded how much your little girl looks like you did when you were about her age...


When you are on the way home from a fabulous weekend, so tired, supper still on your cheeks, and completely zoned out while watching a movie...

 

When you have a full heart from all these people that you love so much...

















Except for maybe not the creepy doll.
