Hip Hip Hooray...

...Pyper is THREE today!

It is hard to believe that this tiny, squishy thing has turned into.....

this jabbering, rambunctious, Dora-loving little girl!

It has been so much fun to watch her grow and see how her personality has developed. She most definitely lets us know what she thinks of things, whether good or bad! I love all her kisses, hugs, and most especially, being told, "You're my BEST FWIEND!"

Here are some things you may not know about Pyper--

1. She is CRAZY about Dora the Explorer (OK, so you all know that one, but I couldn't leave it out!)

2. She hates loud noises, always has. She freaks if a big truck drives down the street. She doesn't want to get "guished." We have pointed out on MANY occasions that the door is much smaller than the vehicle. Each time she just gives a very unsure "Oh, it can't get frew?"

3. She was 9 pounds 4 ounces when she was born, and weighed 14 pounds at 1 year old. We called her "Tink" cause she was so tiny! She has about caught up in the height department, but she is still a skinny thing!

4. She wants to be a mermaid when she grows up.

5. She doesn't care for chocolate milk or ketsup.

6. Her favorite color is purple and has been for a long time!

Pyper, you are such a special part of our family. It would not be the same without your "gweezes and moochies", or your temper! I love the way your eyes light up when you have accomplished something that was hard for you. You are stubborn, loving, snugly, and have a mouth that NEVER turns off--and I love you for it!! Don't change a thing! Love, Mommy
