Happy 3rd Birthday Mallory!

Mallory Moo turned 3 on June 2nd!  That girl had been anticipating and talking about her birthday for months.  When the day finally came, I woke her up singing "Happy Birthday".  Her eyes got as big as saucers and she said, "Today is my birthday?!"  I told her it was and she said, "I am 3?!"  I told her yes and she was sooooo excited!  We had a special day- she chose pizza for her birthday dinner, so we went to LaRosas and then to Toys-R-Us.   She was just beside herself that Geoffrey the Giraffe called her earlier in the day and wanted me to call him back so she could talk to him again.  I told her he was busy at work, so she wanted to see him at the store!  No Geoffrey there, but she was thrilled to get her bday balloon and crown.

She was 28lbs at her checkup- tall and skinny.  She is the most independent child- she will never let you help her do anything.  She is always on Mallory time- very slooowww.  She is obsessed with clothes and shoes- still only dresses and fancy shoes.  She doesn't like to wear tights anymore and will insist that, "This dress covers my hiney".   She has a little mean streak, but usually she is very sweet and cuddly.  She is definitely Daddy's little girl and the other day she asked him in the sweetest little voice, "Daddy will you please marry me?"

She and Elise go back and forth.  One minute they are "best friends" and then "not friends".  I tell them it doesn't matter because they are sisters, so they don't have a choice!  Mallory calls us Brian and Beka or Missy Mae at random times- very funny.  She has a make believe baby named Nya, who is sometimes in her belly and sometimes in her stroller or being breastfed.  Oh, and Mallory loves anything purple and princesses (Belle is her favorite and she calls her Princess Beauty)!

Happy Birthday Mallory!  I could go on and on forever about your cute little self!  I love you!!!!
