Here is Aunty Em and X at the Zoo yesterday. We had such a great time, except for when X fell and scraped her hand on broken bamboo shoots.Here's a little diddy for X on her b-day (since church was cancelled because of crazy snowfall!).
This month is such a special one. It's birthday time for you. We'd really like to celebrate Your happy day with you. Zip-a-dee-ay and heigh-dee-ho, Here's something we can do. We'll sing a song that we all know, Happy Birthday to YOU!
For X's birthday I decided to make her a dress (a copy of one I saw at Target). Have a looksy.


That ribbon is part of a vintage ribbon stash my Mother-in-Law has. She graciously let me use it for her birthday dress.
Here is my top ten reasons why I Love My Chubbsy Wubbsy sooo MUCH!
1. I love her pudgy little hands, feet and those chubby, chubby cheeks!
2. I love her curly hair (she's our little Shirley Temple).
3. I love all of her facial expressions, she's our goofy goober.
4. She is a gentle giant--not many three year olds are as tall as her, but she couldn't hurt a fly even if she wanted to.
5. She has never been a fussy baby--quite easy to manage.
6. She loves Rainbow Bright and I love to hear her sing, "Rainbow Bright, see the shining light..."
7. When she says prayer she has a mumblely wisper--all you can understand is "Heavenly Father" then mumble, mumble, mumble, "Amen". We hold in our laughs every time.
8. She is very easy to please. Give her a My Little Pony to play with and your set.
9. She gives the best bear hugs.
10. She loves to swim and intrigued the girls swim teacher by swimming laps with the swim team on "Bring a friend Friday".
Happy 3rd Birthday Baby Girl!
