HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNSHINE!

Our little Sunshine turns 3 today! I can't believe our youngest isn't a baby anymore. She's grown up so much faster than the other two did. It's probably because she has to keep up with them. Let me tell you a few tid-bits about our little girl:

• A few days after she was born, she had to spend a week at John Muir Hospital because she had jaundice. That was a real tough time for our family.


• On the doctor's chart she was always at the zero percentile even though she nursed and drank an 8 oz bottle of formula.


• She still wasn't gaining much weight even though she ate 2 jars of baby food and an 8oz bottle durine ONE feeding! That's why we started feeding her table food at 6 months. Since then her favorite hobby has become eating.


• She has a chipped tooth from running after Daddy during a "chase" session.


• She's just as clumsy as her momma.


• I love this one...she potty trained herself in ONE DAY! I still can't believe I'm not buying diapers.


• She can be the sweetest and stinkiest little girl all at the same time.


• She hates it when there's dirt on her. Of course she doesn't realize that her whole face and hair is covered with the food she's eating.


• If she spills something she has to clean it up with every clean kitchen towel I have. She's doing better, though, she's using paper towels now.


• She drives her Daddy crazy when she talks in full sentences. He just has to gently tackle her and squeeze her for about a minute.


• Every few minutes she'll come up to me to tell me that she wants to tell me something. So I bend down and she whispers, "I love you so much." I hope she never stops this. I love it!

These are just a few things that our little baby does that's super special to us. We love her so much! Happy Birthday, Sunshine!
