Katie's Three!

For the past week Katie's been telling everyone she met that it's going to be her birthday soon.  She couldn't wait to be three!  For her, I think 3 means a whole new level of independence.  She's now potty-trained, can get dressed herself, do up her own carseat buckle (hallelujah!) and can't wait to be a big sister. 

The 3 words that best describe Katie might be precocious, enthusiastic and spunky. 

We had a playdate at the park with some of her little friends; 'cause the more people she could tell it was her birthday, the better! She wanted a purple birthday, so we kept it simple with a purple Barbie cake and balloons. Speaking of balloons, her talented aunt Jenny made this incredible balloon bike!  I wish my real bike looked that cool. 

What's better than a big sister and a cousin to help you figure out your new toys! 

Happy Birthday Katie!  You make the world a brighter place and constantly crack us up with your witty 3-year-old observations.  We love you!
