3 Years!

Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl! You have grown into such a wonderful little person, you make Mommy and Papa proud! We love your laugh and the funny things you say. Your precious voice melts our heart and we can't get enough of your hugs and kisses. You absolutely love your babies and make such a good mommy to them, putting them to bed and making sure they don't cry and are well fed. You offer us coffee from your kitchen that is so delicious. Your night time routine is very important to you and you make sure we get it right every night. Teeth brushed, hair brushed, potty, pj's, "let's talk about it" time, and blowing out the lights after spelling your name or counting to 10 in Spanish or English. We have to make sure you have your teddy bear and one blanket to cuddle with and the other folded on your pillow just right. You don't like a variety of foods, but we try and get you to try new things by having a "no-thank you bite". You are so sweet to your brother, giving him kisses and hugs before bed or when he's crying. You're wonderful at teaching him baby signs and what he can and can't play with. He gets the biggest smile when he sees you because he loves you so much. You would pick out your own clothes, get dressed and do everything by yourself if mommy let you, but on days where we have school there just isn't enough time. We try to make time other days, though, and you love to find outfits that "match". You still love to pick up rocks and put them in your pocket. Just when I though we've lost one, it shows up in a purse or pocket. You're 3 feet tall and 28 pounds, right in the middle of the growth charts. There isn't a day that goes by where someone doesn't comment on your beautiful curls. We feel so lucky to be your parents and spend every day with you. We love you Ashley Cakes!
