Millie turned 3 at the end of September. As I found some of my favorite pictures from the last year, I couldn't help but think how quickly that year has passed.
Millie has grown so much, learned so much and lived so much.
She can count
to 10.
She recognizes the first letter in her name.
She loves to play pretend and when she plays with dolls she uses a high squeakily voice.
She holds up 3 fingers when people ask her how
old she is.
She loves all
things pink and sparkly.
At her 3 year check-up she weighed 29 pounds 2 ounces (33rd percentile) and was 36 inches tall (26th percentile).
She says her own prayers at night and almost every time prays that "Mommy go away from me." I think she is praying that I will be safe at work. She also prays for each member of our family.
She is a good eater and will at least try most foods.
She is SPUNKY! When she is determined to do something on her own we have learned that it is better to stand back.
She LOVES dresses and getting herself dressed.
She also loves getting wet. When we go on walks she runs through sprinklers. When we swim at the pool she gets Seth to take her down the slide OVER and OVER and OVER.
She is an early riser and the first kid to be awake.
She watches everything that Phin does and wants to do just what he is doing. She asked that I take a picture of her on this rock...after Phin had his picture taken on this rock. She even copied his pose.
She took dance lessons over the summer and LOVED having something that was just hers.
She became a BIG sister this year. She is the first to let me know when Silas is crying and often says "baby needs milk."
She is officially potty trained...WOOHOO!
She does a great job with her Puddle Jumper and can get anywhere in the pool that she wants. She flips over onto her back and just kicks her feet away.
She is a ray of sunshine in our family and we are so grateful she is ours.
