Three. She's THREE!

How did this happen? Guys... I truly feel like my life is slipping away way too fast. Every year she gets older, I age like 5 years faster. I don't know how that happens, but it is happening.

For Amelia's 3rd birthday, we didn't throw a big party. Our house at the time, was too small to hold a bunch of toddlers and parents while still keeping my anxiety in check. Can you believe our townhome felt more cramped than our NY apartment? The layout was horrible just horrible. Good thing we moved!

We let Amelia decide what she wanted to do for her big day. We planned to go to the Shedd Aquarium, Shake Shack hot dog, and a Magnolia Cupcakes.
As per tradition in my family (and Anthony still does for me!), we decorated the house with balloons and streamer and woke her up by singing Happy  Birthday. she loved it and nothing makes me happier than seeing her THAT happy.



 Her favorite gift was her balance bike. Who knew these existed? It is AMAZING how fast she picked it up. I am certain that she will go straight to regular bike with no training wheels. 
 







For weeks we led up to her 3rd birthday telling her that she would be getting rid of her binkies. So the day finally came and we "Shipped them to Baby Cale" and never looked back. For a girl who was OBSESSED with her binkie, it was amazingly better than I had ever dreamed. Hoping the same thing happens with the crib/bed transition. (YES she is still in a crib. I'm not fixing what's not broken...)
