Tay's FOUR!

...and we had a BLAST celebrating her BIG DAY!!! 

Miss Tay, 

You are such a SWEETIE! How is it possible that you are already FOUR years old?!? You are definitely a big girl now. A big girl who loves dresses, string cheese, and singing. In fact I think you spend more time singing than you do sleeping. You not only sing your favorites like You are my Sunshine and ABCs, but you LOVE making up your own songs and serenading us all with your ukulele. The CUTEST. You are a pro at going with the flow and are a chocolate milk guzzler. Your quite the little lefty hitter & would hit front toss all day long if you could! Dribbling a basketball on the "field" (aka court) is your jam. Your brother and sis absolutely cherish the ground you walk on and your Daddy & I tag team reading you book after book each night before tuck up time. You light up our lives and amaze us all with your huge vocabulary. You make a new "best friend" everywhere we go and are all about sharing! You are kicking butt in the writing your name department & just can't get enough of the learning centers at preschool. You are the puzzle queen and have the determination of a champion. You are thoughtful and caring and patient!!!

We are so proud of the sweet little girl you are and couldn't imagine our lives without you. Live you to the moon and back and back again and back!!! 

Hugs & Kisses!!!

Mommy

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY, Peanut!!!

My Lefty!!

Miss Tay is definitely a lefty & LOVES hitting off the tee!!!

Look at her go!!!

Nice rips, Peanut!! I cannot believe how big you are getting!!!

Love you bunches & always love hitting with you!!! Here's to lots of fun years of ball!! 

XXX's & OOO's!!!

Tay's THREE!!!

And, it has happened.

The THING I said would never happen...the thing that goes a little like this...

"By the time the third one comes, you get so behind on life that there are not as many pics and/or her scrapbook never gets done." 

So, as I sit here waiting for my hair (which has been neglected itself since November) appointment, I'm going to right my wrong and get my third cutie's birthday  covered...

And, Miss Tay!!! I DO NOT want you thinking that I've "forgotten" about you because that would NEVER happen. But, it's true...I posted about Trey's 8th birthday before your 3rd birthday, even though your birthday happened first!!! Agh! 

I love you munchkin...please don't take the timing personal!!! 

And, for the record...we all celebrated your birthday THREE times because you're so darn sweet!! 

First stop was Maw-Maw Cindy & Papa Steve's for your Pink & Purple Party...

Then we were off to Great-Grandfather's to see the Meier Crew...

Finally, after a sweet visit full of celebrating & barbershop listening, we headed home & celebrated again...

Dear Tay-Tay,

You have to be the sweetest little three year old on this planet!! You're happy, laid-back and miss independent. You are talking up a storm, using big words, and love to end your sentences with "actually." It's the cutest thing EVER!! You were an absolute breeze to potty train and haven't had a single accident since you said good-bye to diapers. You love to help put away dishes & snuggle with Ellie (the blue elephant) and Ty's bunny baby blankie. You LOVE blueberries & string cheese and almost never turn down an opportunity to color. You have really been into Peppa Pig lately and the rest of us get a kick out of listening to you belly laugh at Peppa's little piggy brother, George. You just think he's the funniest!!! You love bath time & playing dress up, especially with your sis. And, fact is you are the best at playing with your dolls and fairies and getting caught up in your own little imaginary world. You really are, by far, the least needy toddler out of all three. Your little blonde locks are getting so long that it's hard for me to remember that you really didn't have any hair until you were almost two! Jumping in puddles is your favorite and you could swing on the swing set all day. You give the most precious kisses on the cheek with those sweet little lips of yours & say, "Wake me up in the early morning," every single night after books, tuck up, and hugs & kisses time. In fact, I can't remember the last time I went to bed without hearing that out of you. You, without a doubt, light up our world, and want you to always know how special you are!! We wish you a very happy 4th year and are so excited to continue to watch you learn and grow!!!

Love you BUNCHES & BUNCHES, Peanut!!! Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

XXX's & OOO's

R.I.P

are the three letters that we use as we say farewell.....

Farewell to the CRIB, HIGHCHAIR, LITTLE POTTY, & PULL-UPS!!!!!

We have officially reached a new milestone in the Weite House...no more highchair in the kitchen (after 7 years), no more crib in the house (after 7 years), no more little potty by the big potty, and no more diapers or pull-ups. It's big girl and boy undies for everyone!!!!!!

Our third and final baby has definitely outgrown all of the "baby" items and is saying good-bye without looking back. And, over the winter break we decided it was the best time to make the transition. We figured if we were going to conquer one, why not conquer it all?!?!

So sad to see the highchair go...yeah right!!! Although we definitely got our use outta this one. It was a gift at Trey's baby shower!

Tay excited to be sitting in her spot at the table...

Yay!!!

Taking off a side of the crib & turning it into a toddler bed....not a king size, but she'll get a bigger one when Trey finally gets the nerve up to move to the downstairs bedroom. Right now, the girls are sharing the 3rd bedroom on the main floor, which doesn't have room for two full size beds....

Good job, Daddy! This whole transitioning was his idea! I just couldn't take the step...knowing that when it's all said and done, my baby days are over!

Sporting the new bed with big sis!!!

YAY!!! I'm so excited!!!

Way to go, Miss Tay!!! We are so proud of you and cannot believe how quickly you are outgrowing everything baby. You are such a big girl for only two years old!!! The night we put you in your toddler bed, you also said good-bye to pull-ups and haven't had one accident! Yay!!!! Keep it up!!! You are the best!!!

The first night....success!!!

We LOVE you BUNCHES!!!!
