Arabella Ann Leighton - Three Years Old

I can hardly even believe that my beautiful baby girl is already three years old. It seems like just yesterday we were swaddling her every night for bed and debating whether or not we should start solid foods. Here are the facts about Arabella at Three:
Her favorites are:
Foods - Cheese and Fruit
Movie - Snow White
Book - Just One More Swim by Caroline Pitcher
Game - Candy Land
TV Show - Super Why and Dinosaur Train
Color - Purple
Song - Yankee Doodle
She is exactly 36 inches tall (10th percentile) and weighs 27.5 pounds (25th percentile)... She is still just a tiny little bean! She wears a size 24 month shirt and size 18 month pants - can you believe it?!
Bella wakes up between 5 and 6 mostly every morning, no matter what time we put her to bed. She's definitely an early bird! However, she does wake up with a smile every morning! She loves to cuddle in the mornings - those are some of my favorite times, sitting on the couch cuddling with Bella while she drinks cocoa and I have my coffee. :)
Arabella is very girly at times but also loves to get dirty... much to my dismay, Arabella loves playing in the sand and the dirt... eww! She loves to run and roll in the grass, but she would dress up in princess clothes everyday if we let her!
Bella is very excited to be three... she now has chores at home because big kids need to help out around the house. She feeds Mondavi every day. She also sets the table for dinner and helps me with laundry. She is so responsible, often remembering to do her chores without prompting.
She is a really fun little girl... but she is very strong-willed (not quite sure where she gets that - LOL) and the terrible two's that didn't actually happen are carrying over into the terrible three's! We'll get through it by the Grace of God and a little patience... hopefully!
I'll post a few pictures tomorrow, too tired tonight! :)
