Susan - I am always delighted to find some blog activity! Anxiously awaiting the beautiful weddings too (no pressure though)! LOVE the bedroom and best thing is she actually has great sleeps in there!

bree is three

i’ve turned into one of those moms, the ones who think their child is the smartest, funniest, and most amazing at everything they do. i feel as though it is completely warranted though;-)

bree is hilarious, she keeps us laughing all the time with her funny voices, one liners, dance moves, and general great sense of humour. she amazes us daily with her memory, storytelling, and inquiry into everything around her. she is wise and extremely cautious and in the next breath wild and best friends with a new acquaintance. she loves fruit, gum, candy, chocolate, and anything sweet and can throw a pretty impressive tantrum when not allowed one of the aforementioned treats. she has truly made us better people and her giant jumping hugs, smooches, and “i love you’s” make our hearts smile bigger than we ever knew they could.

here are some images from her third birthday portrait session. it lasted all of about 10 minutes- goodness, i hope one day she will love having photoshoots with me!!

and for the sake of keeping it real, here are some of the last frames from the shoot, you can see why we stopped!!

i saw this idea on pinterest to interview your little one every year around their birthday and keep a record of their answers in some sort of scrapbook idea. i upped the anty and filmed her interview as well. bahahahaha, so good for a laugh. she can be such a cheeky little thing and some of her answers are so on purpose silly it has us laughing (and the camera shaking). i have linked to it here if you want a peak at it too, just please ignore my horrible manual focusing on a moving three year old (i am just getting started learning video)!
