Happy Birthday Baby Girl

Dear Julianna Mae,

Wow.  My baby is 3 years old.  Where did the time go?  I remember your birth day like it was yesterday.  It was a long day but well worth every ache & pain I had...not to mention the lack of food on that day.  You finally made your appearance into this world on February 25, 2009 at 8:55PM via C-Section.  Two days past your due date.  The doctor told me I had a little "Buddha Baby" as he pulled you out of my belly.  The sweetest sound I've ever heard in my life was the sound of your first cry.  You were perfect.  9lbs 11oz of perfect baby.

You have grown so much over the past 3 years...in size as well as in personality.  You truly are your Momma's child with splashes of Daddy mixed in.  You are such a jokester.  You love to make people laugh.  You love talking on the phone to Granny & Poppy...even calling them sometimes when Mommy isn't paying attention.  Thank God you haven't dialed 9-1-1 yet.  Although it wouldn't surprise me.  You love to play Call of Duty with Daddy on his X-Box 360.  You also love playing Viva Piñata.  You are so smart.  You know what you want and you know exactly how to get it from just about anyone.  You can be shy sometimes too.  You love your dogs.  You call Roxy your sister.  You are so very excited about having a baby brother.  I know that you will make a fantastic big sister.  You kiss Mommy's belly every night before you go to bed.  You still take 2+ hour naps and sleep 12+ a night.  You are stubborn.  You do not give up.  You are eager to learn new things.  You love playing outside and throwing the ball for Roxy and the stick for Midnight.  You love riding your 'Dora' battery operated quad.  You love watching Disney Junior...Little Einsteins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  You love Snow White & Lady and the Tramp. You still love Mac & Cheese.  Corn Dogs.  Steak.  Green Beans & Carrots.  Corn on the Cob in the summer months.  You love to swim.  You have no fear.  You love the beach.  You love Puzzles and Bedtime Stories.  Especially the Dora book.  You love painting.  Sidewalk Chalk.  Bubbles.  Most recently you love Dance class and your tutus.  It is normal for you to come down in a different tutu and leotard every day & night.  You love stockings.  Shoes, especially your high heels.  You love when Mommy puts make-up on you.  You love Christmas & Santa.  I actually had to explain to you today that your birthday is different from Christmas.  You receive gifts for both but Santa only brings you gifts at Christmas.  Mommy & Daddy and your friends bring you gifts on your birthday.  You are so incredibly cute.  Such a firecracker.  So kind and giving sometimes...and greedy other times.  Spunky.  The perfect mix of Mommy and Daddy.

Thank you for being you.  Thank you for making us parents.  Thank you for making us proud.  Thank you for making us smile & laugh each and every day.  Thank you for loving your baby brother in Mommy's belly.  Thank You for sleeping so well.

We love you so very much baby girl.  You mean the world to us.  Thank you for being ours.

Love,
Mommy & Daddy
