Anne Bailey's 3rd Birthday!

We had a great day celebrating Anne Bailey's 3rd birthday on Sunday. We had a fun Princess and Pirate birthday party at Fairpark Fountain that afternoon. Some friends from school and family came to help us celebrate. All the kids had a blast jumping and playing in the water and eating yummy cupcakes. Anne Bailey had the best time and was asking the next day if it was still her party. We are so thankful to everyone who came and made her day extra special. I still cannot believe we have a 3 year old!!

Anne Bailey is Three!!

Anne Bailey turned 3 years old today!! How did this happen? She is growing up so fast and is such a little girl now which makes us very sad!  She loves dressing up, playing with her friends, anything princess, barbies, and loving on her little sister. She has passed the terrible twos, thankfully and is so sweet and sensitive. Don't get me wrong, she still has meltdowns and is whiny and dramatic but I can try and reason with her now. She still talks ALL THE TIME and constantly amazes us daily with what she knows.  She is so smart and has such a great imagination. It is so fun talking to her or playing with her. The stuff she comes up with is pretty hilarious! Some funny things she says right now is "oh dear, is that a deal," and the funniest is when she wants you to agree to something she says "don't say no, don't say uh uh, say yes."

Anne Bailey is also eating much better lately and has added a few new foods to her menu. She still loves milk and white grape juice. She is taking one 3 hour nap a day and is sleeping 11 to 12 hours at night. She is scared of the dark so she likes to sleep with lots of lights on. She has been completely potty trained for about 6 months now.  She is trying to be independent and like to do things by herself. She does still sucks her thumb and thinks her monkey is a person. These two things I know I need to start breaking her of but it helps me to keep her little for a little while longer. 

We are so proud of our sweet 3 year old!! Happy Birthday, Anne Bailey! We love you so much!

Memphis Botanical Garden

On Thursday, the girls and I went to Memphis to pick Ruff up from the airport. We decided to make a fun afternoon out of it and went to the Botanical Garden. It was so hot but both girls had a blast. We ate an early dinner at Huey's and then headed home. We had such a fun afternoon with our girls!
