Three

Tomorrow Adeline is turning 3 years old. CRAZY how the time flies. I have been watching her a lot lately and thinking... "she is a kid now, not a baby!" I forget all the time that she has already grown up into a little person. We will be waking up at about 4am on her birthday tomorrow to drive to the airport and fly home to Utah. Wish me luck... I am once again flying by myself on a 5.5 hour flight.... yuck!

At Adeline's 3 year check she was:

**25 lbs (barely)- 3rd percentile
**Her height may have been 34 or 35 inches... can't remember already, but it was in the 20% percentile

She is just a little tyke!!

Some things about Adeline at 3 years old:

*LOVES to dance. When she hears music, she immediately wants to put on a dress and dance. Loves "So you think you can dance".
*Loves singing. She seems to always be singing lately and makes up her own little songs. As soon as Norah starts crying, she starts singing a song really fast to try and cheer her up. Favorite songs: Bumblebee, Child of God, sleeping beauty song, 12345/fish song, twinkle twinkle
*Every night
*Loves riding her horse, playing with blocks, playing with her tea set, riding her tricycle, loves dora, Olivia & princess, dolls, Strawberry shortcakes (aka strawberry cupcake)
*tells really funny stories and loves hearing stories
*Has lots of facial expressions
*Is scared of animals in her room at night... still not sure if this is from a bad dream or what
*Loves pushing Norah around in the little car and entertaining her
*Loves when the Star Spangled Banner plays on base. If she is inside the house, she will purposefully run outside so she can stand there and put her hand on her heart. Cracks me up every time.
*Loves both sets of her Grandparents and talks about them all the time. Loves to skype them.
*Starting to say pretty good prayers all by herself
*Loves going to Nursery
*Starting to learn how to play soccer
*She points her finger to you when she talks. Makes me realize I probably do this to her too much :)

Adeline makes us laugh all the time and is so much fun to be around. She has way more energy than me and keeps me on my toes. We love you so much Adeline. Happy Birthday!!
