3rd Anniversary of being a mommy!

On Thursday Grace turned 3! Although it was very exciting, and I love that she is growing up....i felt like i spent most of the day wanting to cry because my little baby is growing up! I think Nick started to get sick of me saying things like "can you believe 3 years ago at this time she was just getting her first bath"...or...."I never thought she would actually BE 3! That number always seemed like an eternity away, and now its here!", I swear, i feel like it was just yesterday that i was laying on the floor with her trying for hours to get her to roll over for the first time, and now she is starting gymnastics on Tuesday! I used to find it annoying when everyone would say "enjoy your time with them while they are little, they grow up so fast".... now i say it to my friends who are new moms!

Grace has changed my life in so many ways that its unbelievable. Not a day goes by that she doesnt make me smile, laugh, scream and want to cry all within the same day. Since day one she has been a drama queen. I believe she thinks the world revolves around her and i'm not sure she'll understand it doesnt until she gets out into the real world. She loves to give hugs and kisses and recently she does it even more when she knows she has done something naugty. I find myself saying "what did you do wrong" after she hugs me. She refuses to sleep with the covers on, no matter how cold it is. She talks a mile a minute and has the greatest imagination...but when we get around other people she gets really quiet and hardly says a word. She adores her baby sister and doesnt like to go anywhere with out her. She knows her doctor by name because she has been there so many times with ear infections. She asks why to just about everything, and i honestly do my best to answer everytime, but seriously, sometimes i dont know why!! Tonight she asked me "why is sponge bob a sponge?" I have no idea why!! I also have no idea how she knows who sponge bob is....i'm pretty sure we've never watched it before.

well, thats enough about Grace for now....she is my world (and her sister too) I love being home with her everyday and watching her grow and learn new things! Nothing makes me happier than waking up everyday knowing that i get to spend the day with my kiddos! Happy Birthday Gracie, you are my sunshine!!
