32 months!

baby girl!

You are 32 months today...

we'll be planning your THIRD birthday party before we know it.

We've decided everyday with you is a new adventure...

a simple day of doing things around the house

or running errands turns into songs,

questions about everything,

and more and more reasons to love every little

thing about you!

You're quite independent and are sure

to let me know how you feel about things.

When I told you to do something the other day

you said, "no mommy. but thanks though."

You know what you like...and what you don't!

Tonight at dinner you couldn't get enough of

garlic bread -

but you just ate the top gooey, garlic part

leaving the crusts.

When daddy asked you to finish them you said

"Nooo, I can't eat crusts daddy, they're scary."

I don't eat my crusts either baby.

You are so excited about Christmas and today

helped daddy work in the yard and get the decorations out.

Poppa has told you about Santa's little birds out

watching and you can spot them a mile away

"mommy, there's santa's birds!"

Just a couple more weeks until your very first

dance recital and we BOTH can't wait!

You love dancing with all of your heart and have

a perfect point.

Mommy is so proud of you and everything you do.

Daddy and I love you oh so much.

You make us laugh everyday...

eventually!

You are the smartest little girl I've

ever met and I'm astounded at your

vocabulary - very Fancy Nancy!

This close to three is so exciting but

also makes mommy's heart ache a bit.

I know you'll always be my princess baby

but time just flies a bit too quick lately.

Thank you for being our daughter -

our little miracle,

mommy's little curly haired pixie

and daddy's forever treasure...

love you Luce!

p.s.

Thanksgiving was the perfect mix of

deliciousness, laughter and

relaxation!

Thanks mom & dad
