Scotty likes his first taste of rice cereal!

Happy Birthday Busia!

Happy Birthday, Erin!

Birthday Girl!

Erin celebrated her third birthday earlier this month.  How did my little baby girl turn 3 already?!?!?  She thoroughly enjoys birthdays and was excited to have a princess party, complete with a princess cake and crowns that she decorated herself.  This was probably her last "adult friends" party, as she is quickly making good friends at preschool :)

Here are a few Erinisms from the mind of a 3 year old:

-"I have a frog in my shorts" when she had a cold and needed to clear her throat to talk.

-"Where did the hugging bird go?" Even after we correct her to say humming bird, she told us that we were wrong....it is indeed a hugging bird.

- She named 2 of her dolls Hoonah and Arana

- She has 2 imaginary friends named Erin and Aaron.

- Me - "Erin, we are going to lose our window of opportunity for your nap."

  Erin- "Where did my window go?" Thinking the windows were gone from her bedroom.

- She loves to wave and say "hi" to every stranger that passes us in the grocery store.  This girl is not shy!  Erin-"Mommy, why didn't they say hi to me?"  Me-"Maybe they didn't hear you."  Erin- "Hiiiiiii!!!!" 

- "Attention passentengers!  The train is going to stop so Daddy can go to work!"

Erin, we love you so much and thank you for being such a joy in our lives. It is truly amazing watching your grow leaps and bounds as you discover the world around you! You are the best big sister to Scotty....he thinks you are hilarious and I can tell he already looks up to you.  We do have our not so good moments (usually during "non nap time"), but we really do treasure every day with you.  You are a beautiful, sweet, smart, outgoing, silly and loving girl and we are so proud to call you our daughter.  Happy 3rd birthday sweet girl!  Love, Mommy and Daddy

Excited to celebrate her birthday!

Erin helped me decorate her princess cake

Sorry, Scotty!

Who says you can't play soccer in a princess dress?  That's my girl!

One tired princess!

First day of school!

Erin woke up extra early and extra excited for her first day of school! No crying when we dropped her off....she was too busy dipping toy trucks in finger paint. I think she will have a great time today! I already miss her, but I'm enjoying some quiet time at home with Scotty :). My baby girl is growing up too fast!!!

Cute :)

Lily must now travel buy car seat just like Scotty.

I think they like each other :)
