Marlee is 3!!!

3 years ago today our family became complete when the most perfect combination of sassy and sweet was born.  She melts my heart daily and I can’t wait to continue to see her grow.

Marlee fun facts:

• She loves to start her day with strawberry/chocolate milk. A concoction her Daddy introduced her to and she can’t give up.
• She is rarely seen without her Minnie Mouse blanket, purple Marlee blanket, pink bunny and Minnie Mouse doll.
• She LOVES to read and reads all the time. She likes to read out loud and hold the book up like she’s the teacher reading to a class.  When you are reading to her, she also must have her own book and will pretend to read that while listening to you read.
• She’ll only wear dresses and used to only wear nightgowns to bed. But has recently switched back  to feetie pajamas (following her big sisters lead).
• She is Victoria’s little copycat. Victoria has been known to mimic her as well.
• Her best friends at school are Aayla and Maddie.  Of course Victoria is her absolute favorite too.
• She LOVES the Barbie movies. Her current favorite is Princess and the Popstar. She sings along with her microphone and guitar.  She insists on watching it daily.
• She likes to listen to Bob Marley’s Buffalo Soldier while driving in Daddy’s car or Daddy’s song 1941 (about her Grandma Bettianne).
• Lately, she likes to sneak in during the middle of the night to snuggle and sleep with Mommy and Daddy.
• She likes to dress up in her waitress costume, take our orders and cook at her kitchen.
• While she loves all Disney Princesses, her favorite is Belle.
• She likes her nails painted and sits so very patiently for them to dry.
• She loves coloring – with her LEFT hand (like her Momma).
• Her hair is getting so long and her brown curls match her brown eyes.
• She is frequently heard clopping around in her high heeled dress up shoes or whatever she can steal from my closet.
• She’s very independent and stubborn and insists on doing everything herself. And given enough time she CAN do it all pretty well J
• She’s been potty trained for a few months and even taught herself how to do it.
• Gymnastics and swimming were some of her favorite things this fall. She’s anxious to start dance classes with big sister next year.
• She likes to carry around purses and wear jewelry.
• Marlee mother’s her baby dolls.
• She’s a Momma’s girl.
• Marlee is frequently found writing, coloring and “teaching” at her art easel.
• One of my favorite things about her is her giggle when she’s excited.

Thank you Marlee for lighting up our life.  Our life wouldn’t be complete without you!!!

When Daddy is away these two always manage to sneak into my room for a sleepover :)

Afternoon With My Baby

Victoria has been asking to go ice skating for FOREVER! Today, we finally went.  She was a natural!!! She held my hand for a bit, followed a chair for a bit and then went by herself. She fell a few times, but other then that did AWESOME! Now we just have to get her to glide vs "walk" on the ice :)  She said she LOVED IT and wants to go again and AGAIN!!!!  I also made her go with me downtown to snap a few quick pics of her in her adorable new hat and jacket :)

Lunch Date

These two goofballs were the perfect lunch date for burgers and malts :)
