I cannot believe my baby girl is three!!! We were still eagerly awaiting your arrival at this point and just wanted to hold you in our arms. You were making your appearance into this world a little early and you had us nervous. By 8:30pm we knew you were as strong as could be even if you were little. That strength has continued and sometimes you can be a tad stubborn:) You know the way you want things to be and aren't scared to let us know it. I know this will be a great strength as you grow. You are a true princess (that's your favorite thing to watch/play) and we love you.

This year has been full of discovery as you are really understanding what goes on around you. You began school and absolutely love it. You are learning so much and you make us proud. You have a funny sense of humor and can always make us smile. We love to hear you giggle and it is normally contagious. You and your brother have discovered the fine art of sibling rivalry...sometimes there just isn't enough of mommy to go around. You both know how to push each others buttons and you can really get under his skin. But there are also those super sweet times when you guys play well and watch out for each other. You both know when the other one needs you and those can be some of the sweetest moments.

Our prayer for you, sweet girl, is that you will continue to grow into a beautiful young lady who loves God and her family...knows what is right and follows her heart...always tries her best and knows when to ask for help (we all need it sometimes)...looks out for others and follows the path God has layed out before you.

Happy Birthday Baylor
