she is three!

dear baby girl,

the day we found out you were a girl was one of the best days of my life. daddy was a little bit in shock at first but came around in the end. but for me, the moment i heard the word "girl" i could see it all flash before my eyes. i was going to have a mini me. a little bit girly and a whole lot of tough all wrapped up in a cute outfit and a hair bow. oh, and a ton of stubborn thrown in. i don't think we ever knew how much our family needed you till you arrived three years ago kicking and screaming (there was a lot of screaming). unlike either of your big brothers, your entry was on time and so "normal". something none of us had experienced yet. i even had time to take a shower and put on make-up before you arrived! we were early to the hospital and had to wait for the doctor to get there something that had never happened before with your brothers. we were determined that nothing would go wrong. and you were just perfect. all 6 lbs 14 oz of you. every day since then has been some sort of adventure, lately dressed in a princess dress and heels. thank you, miss shelby cooper for choosing us and completing our family. we couldn't imagine doing life without you!

so typical...trying not to smile when i ask her to
