Happy Birthday KaeLee!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY KAELEE!!

So, I promise to have pictures from her party soon, with her "real" cake!  This was taken tonight, when she got to blow out candles AGAIN!  This time, just with Mommy, Daddy, and Hannah! 

I can't believe how big she is getting!  She is quite the talker!  But she is also quite the listener! (and not when you actually want her to be..... haha!)  She has quite the ears (reminds me of myself) and as soon as she knows you are talking about her, her ears perk right up and she is as quiet as a mouse....!  Shawn and I find ourselves making lots of code words to be able to try and talk in front of them without them knowing what we are talking about!  For example, if we are thinking of going to the "Y" (YMCA) to play racquetball, we have to say something like "hey, did you want to do the thing the comes after 'x' today?"  Otherwise if we say "Y", both girls will start jumping up and down with excitement!  They love going to the Y! haha. 

Speaking of getting so big..... funny story that happened tonight.....

The girls were in the tub tonight and Shawn randomly started talking about how big KaeLee is and how "OLD!" she's getting!  She immediately comes back with: "Yeah!  I'm getting so old!  I can have coffee now?!?!"  HAHA.  This made me really laugh.  Funny girl. 

We are so blessed to have KaeLee as our daughter.  Especially our oldest daughter!  She is so motherly and kind and caring and loves to help Hannah and teach her new things.  I can definitely see her being a great teacher and an excellent mother some day!  She is a very "take-charge" kind of girl..... as the first born usually is......!  And I love how blunt and simple she can be.  She is not afraid to say 'I don't know' or ask 'what are you talking about?'.  I can just see the wheels in her spins 100mph 24/7!  She is a curious little thing who asks about the details and then never forgets them!  But be careful!  Because if you show her the correct way to do something, she is going to want to do it that way EVERY time.  There are no shortcuts with her once you show her the proper way!  (example....... reading a book in it;s entirety and then later trying to paraphrase or skip pages...... she WILL notice and make you start over from the beginning..... hahaha! 

Our baby is not such a baby anymore......!!  Now she is fully potty trained, has no more bed rail on her bed, (and telling us she needs a bigger bed.....! haha) She can open the fridge (strong girl!) and get herself something to drink.... she can say her abc's and count to 20 in english and 10 in spanish.  She can also count backwards from 10! She is an amazing talker.....!  Not just sentences or paragraphs, but NOVELS!  haha.  The list could go on and on..... but I am afraid I need to go to bed! Night all!
