Happy Birthday Caylin!



I hate that this is a late post, but I am just glad I got around to doing it before too long. I can't believe that my little buddy is three years old. She has changed my life forever in ways I'm sure I don't even appreciate yet. She was the happiest little baby and has grown into a spunky toddler with lots of personality and a definite opinion of everything. She is so smart and amazes me every day. Just recently she has picked up left hand and right hand, and I'm not completely sure where from, but she can tell you which one is which. Caylin loves chocolate milk and pop tarts at the moment, but is still a pretty horrible eater. She stands her ground when she does not want something to eat and is willing to give up basically anything and everything as long as she doesn't have to eat what she doesn't want to. Today Caylin ran around all day as "Purple Timkerbell" and has a very vivid imagination. She loves princesses and everything girly. I love her so much, even through the stubborness and am so proud to be her mommy. Happy Birthday Caylin!





I look at this picture and cringe, but am reminded that she wasn't easy from the get go - those 70 pounds took a lot of work to get off (but so worth it)!

now my big princess


Caylin was spoiled this weekend with lots of princess things. We had a family party Sunday night and she had a party with her little neighborhood friends on Monday.

Caylin got "running clothes" from Grandma Jill and Papa Fred and that was the first thing she wanted to put on when she woke up on her birthday.



Daddy took her on a special "date" to get breakfast at McDonald's

all the princesses and their knight in shining armor (Caylin's little boyfriend who she has already kissed under the Christmas tree!)

Caylin chose where we went for dinner that night - no surprise she picked "Old McDonald's" for chicken dinos. She even got an ice cream cone afterwards!



I love you!

My dear Caylin ~ You have brightened up my life more you may ever know. Thanks for going with me to see Princess and the Frog and for sitting with me when it got a little scary. I love you my best friend.

Happy Birthday ~Mimi
