Sydaleigh at 3

30 lbs. and over 3 feet tall
potty trained (whaaa hoooo!)
loves all things princesses
still crawls into bed with us every morning after she wakes
loves to have her back rubbed
is a follower
tad on the clumsy side
serenades us daily with everything from "I just can't wait to be king," to "Mamma Mia-here I go again"
tells me "Mommy stop singing, that's my song"
incredibly affectionate
loves to learn and do "school" with Mommy
counts to ten, knows her alphabet, shapes, upper and lower case letters, still gets confused with certain colors from time to time, and is learning to write
does all kinds of jumps and acrobats around the house
wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a professional stunt woman
loves gymnastics
calls the hoods on her jacket a "helmet"
has the cutest little kid voice ever
still twirls her hair
still takes her beloved paci at night (that's our next obstacle)
says her l's with a slight y sound
precedes everything these days with beautiful, "can I have some beautiful juice?" or "I want some beautiful ice cream" she just said to me
loves to fix her lunch, help with dinner, help with laundry, help with Marvelly, the helping never ends, which I love
is very matter of fact these days
talks in a rambling made up language when speaking on the phone because she's trying to talk fast like an adult
never sits still
extremely animated
asks to wear her while beautiful dress almost everyday
has yet to master taking her shirt off because her elbows always get stuck
loves to ride her bike with training wheels
what we do with Marvelly she reminds us instantly we must do with her
keeps us one our toes, has us scratching our heads, doing double takes, laughing up a storm...everyday we can't believe how big our first baby is getting
