Ruby Belle is 3!!

(Note: this post is 1 month late! I've fallen behind!!)

 

I can hardle believe my first born is 3!  It seems like yesterday that I woke up at 2am and told my husband that I thought we needed to go to the hospital.  She has been such a beautiful, fun, little spit-fire of a blessing!!!  Always keeps us going and smiling! 

3 yr stats:

Ht: 35 inches (10th-15th percentile)

Wt: 29lbs (15th percentile)

 

 

Ruby Belle, we LOVE LOVE LOVE you!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! You are beautiful...inside and out! You're such a tiny little thing! But there's SO much fun bursting out of that tiny stature!!

Birthday morning...balloons and sprinke pancakes (didn't get a pick of those!)

 

Your birthday was celebrated for quite a few days, but first we woke up to balloons and sprinkle cake pancakes, spoiled you rotten and went to church.  Then we had a birthday lunch w/Mimi and Pops, complete with cupcakes made and decorated by you and Mimi!!  Then we had cupcakes with your friends at school.  Then we had a birthday party for you and your friends at Acrosports!  You and your friends ran around, did the obstacle course and played in the ball pit until you were red-faced! 

the pink ("for the girls") and blue ("for the boys") cupcakes you picked out! 

 Ruby Belle, we LOVE you!  You keep our days & nights interesting, keep us laughing, and keep us learning!  We love to see the world through your sweet 3 yr old eyes and LOVE see your personality bustle through.  You're a picky eater...but we're working on that.  You usually wake up with a smile on your face asking for "sunshine" (aka Raisin Bran cereal - you all know the sunshine on the box!).  You love your "treats" and are learning (sometimes unwillingly) to learn more vegetables than green beans.  You love to play outside.  You don't watch much TV, but your favorite show is Chuggington's.  You love princesses, dress up and purses.  You always want your own version of what mommy has (if I have a scarf, you want your scarf, need to carry your purse when I carry my purse, etc.)  You LOVE your school/day care and your teachers and friends.  Every day I ask you, "what did you do at school today?" and you always reply, "Play and Eat."  You LOVE LOVE LOVE your little brother and try SO hard to teach him right from wrong and help out and you adore playing with him!  You really like to pick out your own clothes, but still want me to pick out your panties most days!  You love to read books before bed and say your prayers.  You are beautiful, tough, tiny, strong-willed and sweet.  We cannot wait to continue to love on you day and night and watch you grow!!! 

Like I always tell you, You're my favorite little girl, Ruby Belle!!!
