Happy 3rd Birthday Charlie!

Dear Charlie,

Today you turn 3! This past year has been a busy one for you, in April you moved into your big girl room you were the one who made this choice when you started climbing out of your crib, in May Mommy started maternity leave and we were able to spend lots of time together going to the pool, walking, shopping, potty training and in June you took on the role of Big Sister amazingly. We spent the summer taking day trips to Sundance lake, exploring at the zoo, and took a vacation to Tie Lake, you also took in your first Stampede parade with Daddy. In the fall Mommy & you took music class every Wednesday and Daddy & you took swimming class on Thursday nights. In November you started ballet which is unparented the first few classes were a little hard for you to leave Mommy but now you can't wait to get in there on your own. Christmas was lots of fun this year, you were brave every time you visited Santa cause you said "you needed to show Reid that it isn't scary", you loved the dollhouse Santa brought you. The beginning of January brought your first day of Preschool, you LOVE preschool, you wish you could go every day instead of just Tuesdays and Thursdays.

You had your 3 year check-up last week you weigh 31.9 lbs and you are 37 inches tall, this puts you in the 50th percentile for your age. You eyes are good, your speech very good it is crazy how we can have a full conversation with you.

You are beautiful, smart, sassy, sweet, stubborn, funny, energetic, and no question about it know what you like & don't like. Mommy & Daddy think you are amazing!

Happy Birthday Charlie! We love you so much!
