And just like that, my baby is 3. I have no idea where the time has gone! This girl loves makeup and frilly dresses just as much as she loves playing in the dirt. She's learning how to play with others and share. We've got part of potty training down but still working on number two. She loves to help with everything from cooking to gardening and everything in between.




She still loves her Little People but is playing more and more with Barbies. She loves to take pictures so now she has her own camera (VTech) that also has educational games (we'll talk about that in an upcoming post about screen time). She's learning to ride a bicycle (12") and would spend all day in the backyard on her new swingset. Her favorite foods are chicken nuggets, tacos, and spaghetti. She also likes to each chili which blows my mind.

Probably the biggest development of the last year was Alexis being diagnosed with asthma. Most children outgrow it, but her daddy's side of the family has a history of asthma so we'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime it has changed our day-to-day life, not drastically in the scheme of things but enough to make a difference.

So here's to another year of being mama to this smart, independent, sassy toddler.
