CAMPBELL is THREE!

Where has the time gone that my first-born is 3 years old now? We had a fun weekend celebrating her birthday with lots of friends and family, and then yesterday, I got to spend some one-on-one time with her with a trip to the Sealife Aquarium, lunch, and shopping!

A little bit about Campbell Grace:

She weighs 32 pounds 6 ounces (73%) and is 38.8 inches tall (87%). She is healthy, active, and we are so thankful for this!

Campbell enjoys her friends, especially Liam, and playing at the park! She is always wanting to be outside! She will sit through any movie...she loves to watch them! She is a singer, and dancer...and always asks her daddy to dance with her when one of the singing competition shows is on! She loves her daddy!

Her thing the past month or so has been to stand on the coffee table and announce: "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present..." it's anything from her sister and her, to every member of her family, to something silly! She has quite the personality.

She is also getting some attitude. This has been a change lately, and I'm not liking it. Throwing fits, and being a little dramatic....I know it's normal for this age, but we don't have to like it!

She is such a good big sister! She always has a smile on her face when she sees Callan every morning! She hugs and kisses Callie, and watches out for her. She also helps me out with her...which makes her seem even bigger than she is!

Campbell loves arts and crafts. She knows her alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes....She talks like such a big girl....it's hard to believe. She loves to have books read to her before naptime and bedtime! We visit the library frequently!

I know there is so much more, but I'll stop here. I'll end with her yearly questions and answers and photos!

Happy 1/2 birthday baby girl... 2 1/2 to be exact...

So I want to remember the little things...with my girls growing so fast and my "mommy brain" constantly forgetting EVERYTHING...I am trying my hardest to remember and document the everyday, sweet, personal things that make my girls who they are. Campbell Grace turned 2 1/2 today. Hard to believe in 6 months I will have a 3 year old! 

I took a few pictures of my first born this morning, totally in her element...in her princess pj gown with her "baby dolls" (any and every stuffed animal we own), and with her favorite book. I also got a video of her singing and just being random. I love this age...she cracks me up and tests me every single day. I'm so glad God chose me to be her momma. She is one of my greatest joys!

I asked Campbell a list of questions...hopefully I can keep doing this every year!

And here are some other things I want to remember:

She always says she "needs" to do something, especially to watch a show. She is repeating and mimicking everything, especially other little kids. She has a fascination for trains and firetrucks. She is such a great big sister...always tries to comfort Callan saying: "it's ok baby sister." She loves to sing and dance. We frequent the library these days and she insists on reading before nap and bedtime!  She is proving to be left handed. She loves to paint and play with play-doh. She finishes almost every sentence with OK or K. She is mostly potty-trained. She always has to have her blankie. And "hold you" has officially turned to "hold me"...this shows me just how much she has grown and matured over the last 6 months.

And here's her video: typical Campbell Grace!

Campbell is my rainbow baby! She shines so bright! She brought a new love into my heart I never thought I could know. Campbell...I love you so much!

Your momma
