From this...
...to this, in three short years!
On Millie's 3rd birthday, we started the tradition of eating cake for breakfast. Syd was thrilled!
Our favorite Momofuku Milk Bar birthday cake, with some extra pizazz (Syd requested a purple cake!)
Officially 3 and almost 5!
This was the absolute BEST day. Syd woke up super excited and stayed in the best mood all day! The entire household was jolly that day. It was so fun to watch her have a special day and enjoy it.

When daddy got home from work, she got her present...
A super cool kitty cat helmet and a purple scooter of her very own! She was thrilled!!
We have cracked up at her non-stop...every time she rides, she gives it some extra flair. Twinkletoes, indeed.
chewing gum, baby dolls, barbies, playing outside, scootering, camping, playgrounds, following Millie around, wearing dresses (will NOT allow pants or shorts because they don't twirl), shoes (all of them), wearing a braid in her hair, accessories, treats (all of them), scooby doo, hot dogs/corndogs, wearing sunglasses, Walter the Farting Dog book, toddler time at the library, iPad games, roasted marshmallows, princess pajama dresses, singing (baby beluga or bringing home my baby bumblebee), cheese sticks, swinging like a big girl (no more baby swing seat), routines, trampoline park, acting like her baby dolls or barbies are walking (see pic below)
Syd's least favorite things:
vegetables, going poop in the potty, wearing pants or shorts, listening to the swim teacher, taking a nap (it's turned around lately...I expect she'll drop her nap before the end of 2016)
Syd is just a smidge below where Millie was at 3 years old! Dr appt stats: 39.8 lbs (97th percentile in weight), 38.75 inches (86th percentile height). Dr Averitt said she's healthy and a bit advanced in what she can do at this age (thanks to having an older sister), but she also said it's time to start cutting down on portions and treats. We should be seeing her drop some of the fluff and she's not. Admittedly, this is my fault. We've been eating out way too much and gotten into terrible habits of Sonic slushes and treats after meals. Nothing to worry about, just need to trim it back. I'm on it, Piddy (might need to change your name to something other than Piddy Poundcake)!
Look at this sweet girl. I cannot believe she's already three! Birthdays are kind of emotional as a parent; I had no idea. My baby is no longer a baby. She still loves me though and is definitely still a momma's girl. I love how our hands just find each other as we are walking. I love how she still wants me to carry her upstairs. I love how she twirls and prances and twinkletoes everywhere she goes. I love how she gives the best kisses and won't go to sleep without a hug and kiss for everyone. She's a sweet little momma to her baby dolls, and she's so caring with her big sister. She's very girly. This year has been so fun to watch her gain confidence at Little Gym and Mother's Day Out and on our outings when Millie isn't around. She's had to be brave, and she stepped up...I'm proud of her! She's definitely not a wimp. She's a typical stubborn Taurus and can give us a run for our money. She's particular about clothes and shoes, who buckles her seatbelt, what's in her purse, and who reads her books/puts her in bed. She's really in the phase of wanting to do things herself (it can be so exhausting). She asks every day for a big girl bed, which I'm certainly against...we'll never be able to keep her in it! However, she's happy every day and finds such joy in the small things. It's good for all of us to have her (and her hilarious cackle) around. We love you, Piddy. We love you as much as you love cake!
