Today my baby girl turns 3! It has been such a treat to watch Hannah grow up. She has gone from a baby that will come out of her mom in her own time to a sweet, content baby that would sit on the floor and play and when she got tired she would just tip herself over, pull the blanket over her face, stick her thumb in her mouth and fall asleep to a baby that waited until she was 11 months old to crawl to a toddler that waited until she was 15 months old to walk to a sweet little toddler to a 2 year old with an attitude to a sassy little girl that can stand up to her big brother to a three year old girl that has a princess complex with a touch of her mother's stubbornness. It is always so bittersweet for a mom to watch her kids grow up. I mean we want them to grow and mature, but we always long for the days when they were babies and totally depended on us and we could hold them and snuggle as long as we wanted. Almost makes a mom want to squeeze one more out...almost. Do you think it was a coincidence that Josh asked me today, on a day when I am a little sad that my kids are getting so big, "Mom, how come we didn't have three? I want a brother."? I don't know either. I guess I will just continue to appreciate the two kids I have and leave the rest to God.
Happy third birthday to my sweet little princess Hannah Liz!
Here she is just yesterday

What Josh said is so precious, it brought a tear to my eye.
