Our baby is 3...

...and no, I don't have baby fever!  :)  Juliet will always be my baby and as for now, do know that I treat her that way and don't feel bad for doing so.  She will always hold that special place in my heart as the baby we wanted to get our family to its perfect number.  She is the baby who went right back to sleep after I'd nurse her in the middle of the night and has the least amount, yet the blondest hair of all my girls.  She is very opinionated and has physically accomplished many things quicker than her sisters, but I know that is because they are her role models.  She's also got a mouth and attitude like her older sisters and coming out of her 25 pound body, its quite comical even at times when it shouldn't be.  She's independent but doesn't like not having her sisters around.  She likes to dance and do gymnastic-like moves, she loves to color and stays in the lines quite well.  She knows just about all her letters.  I know, for being 3 she should know them all, but I know that in due time she'll know her letters.  She is still severely attached to her blanket and is a girly girl-dresses, head bands, bracelets and sparkly shoes.  Her special job is helping me with laundry.  She gets to put things into the washer and dryer and push the buttons to start the machines.  

For her birthday, we went home for the weekend to have a party with family.  The girls like their friends, but they LOVE being with family.  I guess being the only grandchildren on both sides has them quite spoiled and loved.  I know I'm repeating myself, but we will take advantage of being only a 5 hour drive from family as often as we can!  No birthday sharing this year.

 I'm 3!


 Her gift from her grandparents.  :)


 She wanted a crown cake, so I made her this.

~A few of her funny faces!~







 Sissies


 Her special Tink balloon.  
Sadly, Tink only hung around until the next morning because Kylie and Ava's fighting over her made her unexpectedly fly back to Pixie Hollow.


 Great Grandma Bobbie is either very intrigued by a story, or telling the girls "no" about something, I'm not quite sure.


 Kisses for Granka


 Some of her new bling.





 Juliet and Maddie heading to the bouncy.  Maddie is 9 months younger than Juliet but is the same size as my peanut.


 Juliet and Ollie-2 1/2 weeks old.


 Maddie and Juliet dancing.  
Maddie's mom and I went to high school and college together and she was in our wedding.  That is her sweet little man in the picture above.


 She insists on making goofy faces for the camera so I had to tickle her to get a smile!


Daddy's turn.


 On their way to IHOP for breakfast.


Figuring out the stomp rocket from Uncle Jeffery-always sends the girls great gifts even from Iraq!


Action shot!
