Braelyn Faith is 3!!!

Our little Miss B turned 3 today and has been telling anyone who would listen for weeks that this day was coming! She is always saying that she is "getting big like Mommy". The funny thing is she is still so tiny but love her little heart she has a big personality! She loves playing dress up and not just one tutu will do. She layers as many as she can fit on her little body and completes the look with bows, clips, shoes, necklaces, and anything else she can come up with. She loves playing hide and seek with Emerson and actually gets the concept of staying quiet when hiding even better than her sister. It is adorable to hear her count when Em is the one hiding and yelling "ready or not here I come!" Em has to hide fast because we barely get to 5 each time! You never know what she is going to get into next-things we never dreamed of "babyproofing" with Emerson, this one will get into in a heartbeat! She has definitely come out of her shell and is not nearly as shy around new people as she used to be. It still may take her a little bit to warm up but she does usually come around. She goes to speech therapy every Monday at 4 and loves her therapist. She has made a lot of progress since starting in March and it has done wonders for helping with the frustration, for her and us, of not being able to understand her. She says the funniest things now. The lastest one is "Wow, that's good"! Her favorite movies are Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and Frozen and she can sing pretty much all of the songs! She is 29 pounds and 35 inches tall. Her height was definitely low on the scale but the nurse practitioner explained that 3 and 4 is when genetics starts to kick in so it may just be in her genes to be a little shorter! She isn't the best eater so she suggested a multi-vitamin with iron every day to make sure that she is getting all she needs but otherwise she got a great check-up!
