July 2014: Adelyn is 3!

Did I mention this girl is 3?? (ok, so she's been 3 for over a month now, but I'm going to press on and pretend that I don't suck at blogging right now and that my life is not insane right now...)

This year has been a year of growing! Adelyn, you have grown so much and it is amazing to me how much you have accomplished and learned (and developed into your own person!) in this past year! 

Adelyn, you always keep us on our toes! You have developed into a beautiful child who always remembers to use her manners, yet is determined and stubborn all at the same time!

You love dresses (you will ONLY wear dresses...even to bed), and you care for your many dolls! You love purses and sorting cups, blocks, bowls, anything you can sort and organize. You are strong-willed, always telling us what YOU want to eat, to wear, and to do (and making sure to throw a fit for at least a little bit if you don't get your way). 

You've discovered the word "Why?" and are always eager to learn how things work and to know why things are done the way they are. You love to learn! You know your ABC's, you can count to 20, and you recognize letters and you love to know people's names!

You love to be outside, to swim, to explore, and to play! This past year you have been enthralled by the likes of Daniel Tiger, Curious George, Super Why, Care Bears, Beauty and the Beast, Pitch Perfect, and Frozen.  You love to go to Church, Sunday School, and even VBS! You are convinced that anyone who works does so in a church, and can't figure out why anyone would NOT want to work at the church...(sorry about that).

You could dance the night away (and you have at a few weddings this past year), and you love to sing songs (Jesus loves me, ABC song, and Wheels on the bus are some of your favorites to belt out at the top of your lungs)! You're laugh is contagious and you are constantly shocking us with your crazy phrases that you say. "What the heck??" "Knock it off" "That's ok. haha" and "Oh my goodness" are some of your favorites that we hear over and over again. 

You are still a very picky eater, and like to stick to the foods you know you like: Mac n' cheese, cinnamon toast, fruit, pancakes, cheese, and peach water! (We were shocked this year when you ate 1/2 of a quesidilla!). However, you always eat your lunch at "school" (aka daycare) and there you eat things like chicken pot pie, chicken nuggets, and tomato soup (things that you will NEVER touch at home! Believe me...we've tried!)

You amaze us every day with your humor, your wittiness, and your determination! Adelyn you continue to amaze us and are absolutely beautiful inside and out!
