Three.

My sweet sweet girl,

You are three years old today. I’m not going to say it’s bittersweet. It’s not really. I love you more and more every day so to see you turn three is just a celebration of how much my love has grown for you.

 As I nurse and snuggle Asa, it’s hard to imagine that my big grown up girl was ever as tiny. Yet, I occasionally get waves of memories about my baby Lydia. I’ll remember how your feet touched the rocking chair as I nursed you. I remember you stretching like a little rubberband when you woke up. I remember your hair, your ears and your little bitty mouth. And although I’d love to rewind time and hold my baby Lydia again, I could NEVER EVER be more excited about who you are today.

I adore every new word that comes out of your mouth. I cherish every minute we spend together. I’m excited about exploring each new day with you. I can’t wait to see how you develop and learn and grow at every stage. My heart is full as I see you learn to be a helper, a giver and a thoughtful girl.

I know you won’t remember your 3rd birthday. But I will. And I pray that the love your Daddy and I have for you will be a foundation to support and encourage you your entire life.

Happy Birthday to my sweet sweet baby girl. My new three year old.

I love you,
Mommy

    Sweet. 🙂 Wow, I’ve been reading your blog for a long time–I remember Lydia’s cute snowflake party last year. Are you having a party this year? I don’t imagine you have as much time to make snowflake marshmallows with the baby around. 🙂

    Well, if that doesn’t tug at your heartstrings! Amanda..that is precious!

    Happy Birthday Lyddie! You are looking more and more like your mother everyday 🙂

    Oh! Happy belated birthday!

    You might think this is silly, but I always have snowflake cookie cutters in the back of my mind when winter rolls around because I know you once wanted to use them for a party for Lydia but couldn’t find them. Someday they will be found!

    Happy belated birthday Lydia!! I can’t believe our little girls are three this month? Love that big smile of her’s!

    Happy Birthday Lydia! I can’t believe it – three years old. Where is the time going? And she is just the prettiest little girl, Amanda. You and Les will have to fight those boys off before you know it!

    Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  27. Beats By Dre Solo says

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Hi there!
