Leah is 3!

Leah was so excited for her birthday. She has been talking about it for months. It got to where she wanted to know how long it would be until her birthday every day. So I helped her make a count down chain.

She was so happy when her birthday finally arrived!

I took some pictures for a fun little birthday photo shoot. She hammed it up! So cute.

My mom and dad came down to spend some time with her for her birthday. They gave her some Cinderella dress up stuff. She loved it! Then we went to the park to play and eat pizza. Leah just wanted to play with her Grandpa the whole time. Back when we were staying at their house my dad introduced Leah to and gave her a proper appreciation for Disney's Robin Hood. So she of course loves it now. While they were playing at the park, they pretended that Leah was Robin Hood and my dad was Little John. My dad called her "Rob" all afternoon. Leah ate it up!

For her birthday, Ross and I gave her a new bike and helmet. She was so excited to try it out.

Next we went to Farr's for some yummy ice cream. All the excitement of the day had worn his little birthday girl out.

Having her Grandma and Grandpa all to herself was the best birthday present. Leah loved every minute they were there.

After my parents left to go back home, we took her to Provo Beach Resort to play on the playground and ride the carousel (one of her very favorite things to do.)

Then we went outside so she could play in the splash pad.

At the end of the day, we sang "Happy Birthday" one more time and then shared the last cupcake left over from her friend party.

Our little girl is getting so big. It is hard to imagine that she is 3 already. At her annual doctor check-up she was 36 1/4 inches tall and weighed 28.8 pounds. I recently did a post all about her, but I did want to mention a few more things about her at this age. She is getting to be a bit of a girly girl. She likes to wear skirts and dress up in dresses that she can twirl around in. She also loves to get her fingernails and toenails painted. She's developing quite an imagination and likes to pretend more when she's playing. It is fun to see the creative things she comes up with. We love this little girl so much. And I'm glad we could make her birthday such a special time for her.
