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!
