Mia's birthday

Mia turned 3 on Election Day. Ryan and I both took off the day to spend with her. We started off at Krispy Kreme for her birthday breakfast. Then we took her with us to vote. After a nap, she had to go for her 3 year check-up. She was 40 3/4 inches and 38 1/2 pounds. Yes, I have a tall girl! That night we met Mimi, Papa, Emily, Brian, and Baby Nicholas at Chucky Cheese for some birthday pizza and fun. As you can see, she had a great time!
She is so entertaining and amusing at this age! She is very quick to correct anyone if they forget their manners - which i must say makes me very proud! She loves to sing, she loves gymnastics, and she loves her big girl school. Her favorite toys right now are baby dolls, moon sand, trucks, her jambox, and her pink jeep. She loves to mimic her teachers and have "storytime" with us. She is very quick to hush us if we aren't paying attention to her story! Her favorite cartoons are Wow Wow Wubzy, Dora, and Blues Clues. Her favorite foods are pasta, "treats", green beans, corn, and most fruits.
She doesn't like having her hair towel-dried after a bath, getting dressed, being told "no", and not being able to do something on her own. She is very independent and very quick to tell me that she is not my baby, but a big girl! At the same time, she is very loving - always has time for kisses, hugs, and "I Love You's"!
