Big brother and big sister are thrilled with their new sister.
She was walking like a pro by the time she turned 1.
At age 2, she already knew how to pose for the camera.
She loved owls before owls were cool...age 3.
Every 4 year old girl loves to dress up.
By age 5, it was obvious she loved to draw, inheriting her artistic abilities from her dad.
By the time she turned 6, she had lost her first tooth.
The kids spent the day playing their new game they got for Christmas. Little A chose what to eat for lunch and supper then we had cake and ice cream while we watched The Polar Express. It was a nice relaxing day.
Here are a few A-isms:
Age 1 - After I closed the oven door she would come blow on the door to cool it down.
Age 2 - In order to get my attention, she would say, "Mommy! Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo!"
Age 3 - When I was trying to get her to use her words instead of whining at me to get something she says to me, "Word."
Age 3 - Both of our faces were sunburned so I asked if her face hurt. When she told me it didn't, I said mine was killing me. She then says, "Nah, you're alive!"
Age 3 - As we were heading out the door to go somewhere, Little A informed me she wasn't quite ready to go..."I need underwear!"
Age 3 - While swimming, Little A is tracing the numbers on the side of the pool 6 - 3 and saying them as she traced, "6...mustache....3"
Age 3 - When she was having issues with the computer, I came to her rescue. "Mommy, you did it! You're a hero!! Thank you, Mother!"
Age 3 - One morning, I told her that her hair looked really cool because it was standing up all over. She responds, "No, hair can't stand up. They don't have legs!"
Almost 4 - While eating quesadillas, she gave me a kiss, then laughed and said, "I put cheese on your face!"
Almost 4 - Little A finds a recipe card I had thrown away. She brings it to me and says, "Mommy, this isn't trash. It has your writing! It says, 'you have to make food forever.' "
Age 4 - She pointed to my hat in church and asked, "Where's my quiet hat?" I gave her one of my lacey head coverings and she says, "This is my quiet hat."
Age 4 - When Seth asked her to say her "ABCs" she says, "A...C....phlegm." (Thanks to Achmed the dead terrorist and Jeff Dunham)
Age 4 - I had told Little A that I came downstairs for some peace and quiet. As I headed back upstairs she says, "Are you going upstairs for some peace and loud?"
Age 4 - My cell phone was beeping because the battery was dying. Little A was telling me it needed to be plugged in, but I wasn't in a rush to do so. She says, "But it's saying 'please!' "
Age 4 - After praying with Little A because of bad dreams, she tells me that God took them away. I said, "Isn't God awesome?" She responds, "God is cool like a rock star!"
Age 5 - I made a comment about being so tired that my brain was melting. Little A replies, "Your brain melts when you're too close to the TV. Duh!"
Age 5 - Little A follows me into the kitchen and says, "I'm hungry as a human!"
Age 5 - K asked how people make 3D paintings so Little A answered, "With 3D paint!"
Almost 6 - Little A was concerned that I was catching her cold so she asked if I was getting what she had. I told her I probably was. Very apologetically, she says, "I'm sorry for breathing."
Happy birthday, Little A!! I love you!!!
