Hannah Kate is Three!!!

I can't believe my girl is three years old. It has been the most rewarding, challenging, joyful and at times overwhelming three years of my life.

Hannah is such a fireball. She is so fun and says the funniest things all the time. Her little brain is a sponge right now and she's learning new things and changing daily.

We celebrated her birthday on Sunday (her actual birthday) with a Mickey Mouse party. It was a lot of work, but it turned out so cute. I'll post pictures soon. For now here are her stats.

Here is what HK's up to at 3 years old:

• Weight & Height? 30lbs & 37.5" tall. 50 percentile for height and weight.
• You have curly blonde hair and beautiful hazel eyes. I still haven't cut her hair. It's pretty wild at times. Her eye color has also changed in the last few months to a gorgeous hazel color.
• You wear 3T clothes mostly.
  
•  You wear a size 5 diaper. I'm still frustrated that you are not potty trained yet. It's been one of the most stressful things about parenting. HK just doesn't get it yet. Hopefully it will happen soon though and we can throw away the diapers for good :)
  
• You are really outgoing around most people, but can be very shy around some. 
• You wear a size 7-8 shoe. You have a very narrow and flat feet.
  
• You go to bed around 8pm and sleep til about 6:30-7:30am. You still love your big girl bed, but getting you to go to bed some nights is nearly impossible. You make up every excuse to get out of bed. You also sleep with about 20 stuffed animals every night. Ha!
  
  
• You eat pretty well and completely feed yourself with a fork. Some nights you can be pretty picky, but that's okay.
• You don't drink milk at all. You prefer water over anything.
  
• You love your daddy so much. You do everything together. He's your best friend
• You love your momma too. You need me to hold you and console you when you are sad or sick. 
• You have gorgeous teeth, but hate having them brushed. 
• You talk all the time and say the funniest things. Your are very dramatic expressive.
  
  
• One day your foot was hurting and I asked you how it was feeling? You said, "it's special." 
• The other day daddy had you in the bathtub and you we arguing whether the painting in the bathroom what a snake or a tree. Daddy said it was a tree and he was right because he's 33 and you're just 3. You said, "No, daddy, I'm perfect." 
• You like to think you know everything. You argued with me today about being a "big boy" I said, "no baby you're a big girl." You said "no, Hudson's a girl, I'm a big boy!" Silly girl ;)
  
• You pray with us at night before bed. Some nights prayers are pretty straightforward. "Thank you Jesus for family, friends, Mommy, Daddy, & Hudson." Some nights you stray and thank Jesus for your clock, tea parties, cup, and other miscellaneous items :)
  
• You count to 15, know all your colors, most animals and their sounds, and can sing your ABCs. I'm going to start working with you on your letters and writing and spelling your name.
  
• You probably watch way too much tv & movies. Your favorite shows are Veggie Tales, Caillou, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Dora the Explorer & Thomas and Friends. Your favorite movies are Tangled, Lion King, Finding Nemo and Peter Pan.
• You like to sing, play in the bathtub, play with baby dolls & stuffed animals, read books, watch movies, and play outside.

• Your life changed a lot with Hudson coming into the family, but you love him and are such a good big sister. It's so sweet to see you interact with him. 
  
  

Hannah we love you so much. Life is so much more fun with you in it. You make me so happy. I can't wait to see what this next year will bring.
