Sophie Clare's Birth-DAY

Yesterday was a fabulous day even though our plans were messed up by the weather. We had plans to take Sophie Clare to the zoo and all of the sudden WINTER arrived. So we ended up eating lunch at McDonald's and going to the mall.  She loves the mall so that was right up her ally!

When she woke up, I started  saying Happy Birthday. I am not really sure she really knew it was her birthday but when it came gift time, she was ready.

While I was getting ready, she wanted to play in some old make up.

Sure why not..............

Isn't she beautiful??

She was so please and was very excited!

How could we not just laugh and take a pic.

As soon as we got to the mall, she wanted to ride the horses, next stop was Santa, then to Learning Express, A yummy cookie and Books a Million which she LOVES. . 

We had a great day spending time with our sweet little girl. The celebrating is not over yet.........We will be celebrating with family and friends this weekend.

Next up Santa pics.

She's 3

Happy Happy Birthday to our sweet Sophie Clare.

We had a wonderful day and I will share all about that tomorrow. We made her a BIG cupcake Sunday night after church and planned to ice it today............Well it fell apart. So Jamie had to run to Wal-Mart and get a cake (any kind of cake).  Not much to choose from so he got her a red velvet.  I have taken her pic for the past 3 years with her cake in her birthday outfit. She did not mind at all putting on her birthday outfit around 7 at night. haha

She has grown so much in the past year and talks non-stop.  She is fun, kind, sweet, adorable, beautiful and is full of life. I do not even remember what life was without her.

So what is she up to??

She weighs 27 lbs and is 36 inches tall.

She is potty trained and has been for a while now.

She wears a 3t mainly but some are a little big.

 Her legs are most def a 3t but her arms are more a 2.

She loves wearing her t-shirts when we are at home.

 She loves to play with her babies, do puzzles, read books, play ball and anything to do with arts and crafts. She sings all the time. Her favorites to sing............Jesus Loves Me, O How I Love Jesus, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baby Bubble Be, God Is so Good, ABC'S and so many more.

 She is full of life.

Sophie Clare is not my picky eater at all. She loves chicken, fish, pizza, rice, Mexican............there is rarely anything that she does not like.

What is her favorite??

That is hard to say unless MILK MILK counts. haha

Enjoy the pictures of her blowing out her candles and singing Happy Birthday!

I can not believe she is 3 and how much she has grown. I know that my sweet baby is going to turn into a little girl over the next year. So, if I hold her  during every nap, sleep with her every night, ignore the house work because she wants to play........................

well it just means that I want to take in every moment I possibly can.

Happy Birthday Sweet Sophie Clare!!

We love you more than you will ever know!

She Is Almost 3

I can not believe my sweet angel will be 3 tomorrow. I am very thankful that I have had the opportunity to stay at home with her and hold her through thousands of naps. She is such a sweet sweet girl!

Tonight in bed I read her the story

How Do I Love You

by P.K Hallinan

How do I love you ?

Let me count the ways.

I love you on your very best.......

and your very worst of days.

I love to see you laughing and dancing in the rain.

And even when you loose your shoes, I love you just the same.

I love to hear you singing.

I love to see you smile.

I love the way you take each day in your own unhurried style.

I'm happy when you're happy,

And I'm sorry when you're sad.

And even though it may not show, I love you when you're bad.

 How do I love you??

Well, now, let me see......

I love the way you act so brave whe you fall and hurt your knee.

I love to watch you sleeping, tucked away in pleasant dreams.

I love to hear you whisper

all yoiur giant plans and schemes.

I love the way you wear you pants with the front part in the back,

and the ways you walk around sometimes

with your head inside a sack.

I love to see you in deep thought.

I love to watch you play.

And though I'm sure you'll never know,

I LOVE YOU MORE EACH DAY.

How do I love you?

It's impossible to say.

For if I had a million days

and time enough for all the praise,

I couldn't tell you all the ways.........

I LOVE YOU!!

We love you unconditionally Sophie Clare and so blessed to be your parents!!

We are looking forward to spending the day with you!!

A New Header

Good afternoon blog land.

It is a rainy chilly day!

 We had a special service this morning at church. A harpist came to play and give her testimony.  We really enjoyed it. After church we ate at Momma Goldbergs which was oh so yummy. Then when we got home, I thought it would be the perfect day to get a few pics of Sophie Clare in her nativity dress for my blog header. Now all of you know she has had a camera in her face since she was born but she was being so silly today.  I just thought I would share with you all her cute faces she just had to make.

Why are her eyes rolled?

I have never see that before.

She closed them and would not open them.

Pouty lips.

Sweet tongue

Big Cheese

I love her eyes!

silly face

Finger in nose

Night night

This one is  my favorite of her smile but her daddy's leg is in the way!

May just have to crop it anyways. ha

So we are going to just pratice everyday till I get one! hehe

She makes my heart smile!!

I can not believe that Tuesday she is going to be 3!!
