Little Miss August Turns Three!

On Tuesday our Tessa turned three. On one hand it seems like such a short time in our lives, but on the other hand, we have a hard time remembering our life without our silly girl. She is growing to be a very good big sister, helping Nate often. She is speaking very clearly and often says the darn-dest things. We went for her three year checkup on Wednesday where she is now weighing 33lbs.  We call her our little hypochondriac because she asks to go to the doctor all the time. When we left the office this time, she said her pediatrician was her "best friend". We will be going to the dentist for the first time soon, and she is already excited about it. She asks every day "can I go to the doctor tooth, please!"  

 She has also become quite the little fish this summer. She used her floaties for about two weeks at the beginning of the summer, and now she will have nothing to do with them. Even when she has been playing for a while, she still is determined to swim "all by myself!"

 Her favorite things are still turtles. She also loves to play the game "I'll dress myself with as many items as I can find in my drawers." She will come out with socks, flip flops, mittens hats, multiple shirts, sunglasses and pants...all at once. Usually she isn't willing to have the paparazzi take pictures of these moments. Maybe she wants to keep this fashion craze all to herself. 

We are so blessed to have Tessa in our lives. She has been such a joy. Happy birthday sweet girl! We look forward to many more years of your silliness!
