Happy 3rd Birthday Campbell Grace!!

Today I woke up to my baby girl yelling, "Mommy" which happens most mornings, but this morning was different. I walked into Campbell's room and the first thing she said to me was "It's my Birthday! I'm Three!". I think someone was a little excited. While I was a little sad. It just does not seem possible to me most days that Campbell could possible be three years old already. I really did just bring her home from the hospital yesterday, right?

In the past few months she has grown up so much. She is talking all the time about everything. She has also given up her paci and been potty trained all on her own:) Counting is one of her favorite things to do, she can count to 25 which I think is pretty good since I have not worked on it with her much at all. She is convinced that she can read, really I think she just has most of her books memorized but we let her think she is reading like her Big Sister whom she adores so much. Her love of baby dolls and dressing up in anything princess continues. She is definitely still a Mommy's girl:) I just love to see what her little personality will develop into next. We love you sweet angel!

Since we are not having Campbell's Birthday Party until next week we decided to go to Chuck E. Cheese as a family to celebrate together. We all had a good time. Campbell of course would rather ride the rides than worry about tickets. I think her two favorites were Bob the Builder and the carousel. It was so much fun to watch her face light up over all the fun sounds and actions. Kaylee on the other hand is old enought to know that it is all about the tickets. After about an hour and a half of fun we picked out prizes to take home to finish the celebration.
Once we returned home Campbell was all about opening her gifts. She was thrilled to get a princess chair, a Mommy's Tote book, and a BBQ Grill so that she can cook like Daddy. It is amazing to see how much more they enjoy opening the gifts in just one year's time. After gifts we ate a little cake and put the ones that needed assemblying together. Happy 3rd Birthday Campbell Grace!

Campbell,
We are so blessed each day by your sweet smile and spirit. You do know how to pitch an occassional fit but luckily you usually stop as quickly as you started:) We like to refer to this as a "strong will" which will suit you well in life at times. You love to laugh and make others laugh. It is so much fun to hear you and Kaylee laughing together at different times during the day. Kaylee is your best friend. She is the one you ask about each morning and the last one you want to kiss "goodnight" when it is time to go to bed in the evenings. It is so cute to watch the way that you "Mother" your baby dolls. I know that one day (in the way distant future) you are going to be an amazing Mother because you have already had so much practice. You also give great hugs and kisses to your family and friends. Social butterfly does not even begin to describe the personality we have seen in you over the past few months. One of your favorite things to do is to sing songs or hear stories that have to do with the Bible. We pray that you always have this affection for the Lord and walk with Him daily. You are our angel and we are so proud and blessed to have you as our daughter.

We love you,

Dad & Mom
