Happy 3rd Birthday to our sweet little Ella Bear!

Our sweet little baby bear turned 3!  I can't believe it!  The past 3 years
with you have been absolutely amazing and you are such a blessing in
our lives and in all of those who have ever met you!

Three years ago God blessed us with you...amazing, wonderful, delightful
cuddly, beautiful, smart, fun, fantastic, fabulous, cool, hilarious.................
little you!

Thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives and love in our hearts!


Ella bear, this is who YOU are at 3 years old...

Still a little LOVER!  except now you just have your moments of not 

wanting to give yoursweet lovin. :-)  I along with your daddy, love to hear 
you out of the blue say, I love you, Mommy or daddy!"  Sometimes, you just 
look at us and say, "I like you mommy or daddy" (most of the time after we've 
given you something you wanted or are going to do something you wanted to do.  
You tell me, Mommy, your a good girl"often!  So, glad I have your approval 
sweet girl! You still give the best kisses and hugs of any little baby girl I know! 
You have been "slumbering" in our bed a lot lately since switching to your 
"big girl" bed which some nights are rough with you doing flips in your sleeps 
and kicking daddy and I in the back and in the stomach!  I  have continuous 
bruises from you and your brother... But, like Daddy and Darius Rucker 
(formerly of Hootie and blowfish) both say, "It won't be like this for long..."  
I secretly (I guess not a secret now :-)) hope you always want to come sleep with 
daddy and I and snuggle with us but I know you will probably want to sleep in 
your own bed eventually. We'll just enjoy this time while we have it ♥

You LOVE your little Brother...Parker Peanut!
Almost every morning and after nap time you almost always put both of 

your hands on his cheeks and say, "Hey there buddy or peanut!"
Any given day someone can be a fly on the wall in our house and hear you 

and your bubba bear laughing together.  Whether it be him following you 
around while you run in circles or him watching you dance, you ultimately 
love playing with him and making him laugh.
Don't get me wrong here, ya'll have your moments of, "That is MINE Parker!" 

and "Mommy, he's taking my...." but for the most part ya'll play really well 
together and I know you love him!

You still LOVE ICE, bubbles, crackers and going outside with Daddy!
You go outside almost every day when daddy gets home with a cup of ice 

and hang out enjoying the outdoors and time with daddy after he gets home 
from work.  I am usually inside making dinner around this time but I know 
you and your daddy have long conversations about anything and everything.

You are my little shopping and errand running partner...
You and I go to the grocery store at least once a week if not twice.
We enjoy our time together...just the girls!  Every now and then, 

I have to run to the store by myself (like when you are napping on the weekends) 
and it just doesn't feel right. We chat, we race down the isles, we sing...
we just have fun and I love that time with you each week!

You are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SMART!
You amaze daddy and I every day and your grandparents too!  

You have been telling people you will be 3 on Nov. 5th for months now.  
So, you knew your birthday and the date which is really cool!  
There are just so many things that you do to amaze us.  
Sometimes you are even too smart for your own good ;-)

You have a really awesome sense of humor!
You probably won't like me saying this but you laugh at yourself 

when you POOT and if anyone around you poots...
(not mommy of course) :0  Of course I can't think of all the funny things 
you say and do but let me just tell you, you have Daddy, Parker and 
I cracking up often...definitely more often than you have us correcting 
you or punishing you!

Some things you like to do...you finally can reach the pedals on your big 

wheel (tricycle) and you ride it with no problem!  You like to help me cook..
.especially stir things!  You like to help me stir daddy's coffee in the morning.  
When you want more of something like in a cup, you tell me you want it higher.

So, to end this long birthday blog post...we love you so much Ella bear and 

want you to know that life is just infinity better with you in it!  Hope your 3rd 
birthday was everything you wanted it to be.  We can't wait to watch you grow
in all ways possible this coming year!
