Yesterday our Sophia turned 3 years old!!
We love you sweetie so much!! From the first moment we knew we were having you we were sooo in love with you. You were kicking me wiggling around from the start.. I remember watching my entire belly move around. people across the room would notice!! you were ready to join the world… you are full of life and are always making us smile! 
Three years of snuggles with Daddy..
and mommy tip toeing to grab the camera and sneak a photo before you wake up! ;)

She is just the sweetest little girl..
loves her ‘nuggles’ and cheesy roll ups.
Anything fairies, princesses and mermaids!
Oh and pirates. we acted like pirates all afternoon..
I made eye patches from headbands and felt.
sashes from leftover ikea red and white striped fabric.
I never realized how difficult it is to see with an eye patch on..haha. But I LOVE those silly moments with my sophie. She is such a blessing..and lights up my world. She is potty trained! yay! I’m beyond proud of her and soooooooo glad to only have 1 size of diapers in my purse right now. haha. Having her has made me such a better person. a more tired one maybe..;)..but I know that she has helped me to give of myself more..to love more and to be simple. I love the story time..the little “ohhh myyy gosh mommy!!” moments when she thinks I’m the most amazing mom when I do something crafty for her. The random dance parties. The “your the best mommy.” I love everything about being sophie’s mommy…and every day I see her growing and learning and i’m so proud of her. I love our sweet little conversations with each other. and how she says sneakers..neakers. and calls the van her van car. she makes everyone around her so happy..and puts up with everyone touching her curly awesome hair. she is going to do something amazing. Sienna loves her so much too…she thinks she is turning 3 like her big sister instead of 1. She is such a good big sister/”mommy”
Happy Birthday Sophia!!

August 31, 2011 at 1:30 pmHappy Birthday, Sophie and Sienna! I’ll have to be careful while I’m out on my walk so I don’t get run over by the jeep. :-) Sophie looks like a driving pro. Enjoy your girls now, Natalie — you (and they) will treasure all these precious memories when they are no longer little girls!
Peace and God bless,
Kathy
