Three

Today our little Brooklynne turns three. It sounds so cliche but I just can not believe how fast it has gone by. It feels like one moment we were longing to hold her as lamps kept her only four pound self warm and the next moment we are chasing her around and laughing at all the new things that come out of her mouth daily.

At three Brooklynne is one amazing little soul. She is kind, funny, sassy, and timid. She is a big daddy's girl, he is the first person she asks for when she wakes up. She has an intense love for her brothers already and is so protective over mommy. Art is her favorite followed very closely by singing and helping me in the kitchen. She could spend all day outside, especially if she is with her granddad (who will do anything she says).

I look at her and my heart swells. What an honor to raise this girl. To watch her thrive and grow into her own. To see her learning and grasping new things is truly a gift that I am determined not to take for granted.

To my sweet girl,

I can not begin to tell you how much I love you. My life would not be complete without you. You are one amazing little girl. Sometimes I just watch you in wonder. My favorite is watching you figure things out with a determination in your eyes, you do not like to give up and I admire that. You are a gentle soul that is always asking me if I am okay even if I just cough, may we all have a heart like yours. I can not leave out that spunky attitude of yours, often daddy and I are fighting back giggles as we have to get on to you. We are so proud of you dear and can not wait to see you blossom as you become a big sister. Happy birthday boos.

Love,

Mommy and daddy
