Happy 3rd Birthday Sutton and Avery!

I came out of vacation hiding to post about my two favorite little people because TODAY is their birthday. Happy 3rd Birthday my sweet twins. I still can't believe they are 3. Don't we all say that about our kids every birthday? They grow up so fast.

Dear Sutton and Avery,

Wow, what a whirlwind of a year it has been. Last year you two didn't have much interest in opening your birthday gifts, but I know today will be different. From what I saw on Christmas Day, I know you will open your gifts from us in seconds. Just like you do with everything in life. You two go in full force and enjoy every second of it. I know I can learn a lot from you two.

Your vocabulary has exploded. I was a bit worried that you two wouldn't talk much other than in your own twin language, but you two talk non-stop. You definitely get that from me. You two surprise me daily with the things you say. I often wonder where you came up with some of this stuff. My new favorite thing about you two is when you say oh my goodness. It is just soooo sweet.

You two have grown so much in the last year. You are taller than most of the kids in your class. You both love to eat, but are so picky. You love chicken nuggets and you must try mommy's spicy Indian food, but when it comes to fruit, you often pass on it. But if I give you anything with dip (ranch) on it, you will eat it up. Especially broccoli.

Sutton, you were my first born and you have always tended to be a mommy's girl and I love that about you. You are the most caring and sweet little girl. You love to dress up, have your hair put up like a princess, do mommy's hair, give the biggest hugs, take care of your babies, climb, jump, dance and sing. I can't wait to see what your future brings for you. I find it so sweet when you caress my face and tell me you like my hair or my necklace. You are such a gentle soul. You are such a daredevil when it comes to trying new things. You will climb up any play structure or will go the fastest setting on your new Jeep.

Unofficial stats (we have your 3 year appointment on Tuesday):
Height: 37 1/2 inches
Weight: 32.6 lbs

Avery, you were my second born, but only by seconds. You my dear are a total daddy's girl and I love seeing the bond you have with your dad. But the second he is away, you turn into my arms and I love it. Avery you are a fireball, but in the best way. You love to talk and tell me all about your day. You are a total instigator and often ask your sister to get you your things. Do I see a future CEO? Maybe. You have the best personality and you are sooo smart. I can't believe the things that I see you doing and learning on a daily basis. You have such a sweet side. You love taking care of your baby and making sure she is ok because she often gets sick. You love wrapping her up and are going to be such a great mommy.

I love you baby girls. Even though you are in the middle of your terrible twos and going onto your terrorist threes, it is such a blessing to see you grow and learn. I love sharing our lives. Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy. I am so blessed. Cheers to 3 years old and hundreds (to living forever) more.
