My sweet and silly little girl turned 3 years old this week - cue the tears! Amaia Ruth is absolutely one of the best things that has ever happened to me and it was so much fun to celebrate her this week. She thoroughly enjoyed all the birthday celebrations this year and it just made me happy to see her so excited and loved and happy. It was a really special few days for me too.
This was the first year that I didn't really plan a themed party for her and she enjoyed herself the most - go figure :) My sister and her husband were in town and stayed with us for a few nights over her birthday. So we went out to dinner with family, had cake and presents, sang to her, spent time with family and kind of did it all over again the next day.
A few things I want to remember:
She was SO proud of herself for blowing her candles out all by herself. She kept telling me : "mama, I did a really great job blowing my candles out!"
She is definitely a dessert lover like her mama. When asked what she wanted for her birthday she pretty much always said "cake".
At 3 years old she LOVES to dance and sing. The most common thing we hear throughout the day is "Dance with me!" I got her a dancing ribbon as birthday present this year.
She loves the alphabet too and it really starting to figure out how to sound out words. She is constantly asking us what different words start with and doesn't usually need help to figure out the answer.
She is in the 90-percentiles for both height and weight!
