4??? Are you sure?

Today my baby is 4. I can't believe it. I keep thinking she's only 3. I have to say I'm quite emotional about the whole thing. I'm just not ready to have her be 4. I feel like I didn't treasure every moment, because I thought we'd have at least one more. So now that it looks like we aren't, I feel like I've missed so many things. Lewlew is so different from Austin and Emma. She's quite her own. She's also different when Austin and Emma aren't here. She's much more clingy and less whiney. I love the time we have alone. She LOVES flavored chips. I think Dorito's are her favorite, but it might be Pringles. She LOVES chocolate milk. She has MANY Polly Pockets and plays with them everyday. Her lastest "phase" is Strawberry Cake - a.k.a. Strawberry Shortcake. She likes doing things with her hands. Lately she's loved puzzles. We put together puzzles several times a day. She likes Darby, Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet, Hannah Montana, Scooby Doo, and playing the "puter." Her voice sounds like she just took a hit of helium and she talks really fast. She's really sweet and I'm so thankful to have her.



Here are a few pictures of Lewlew through 2009.

She is such a cutie pie! I'm in total denial that my littlest is growing up too. Too bad they can't stay 2 or 3 for just a few more years, eh? Such a fun age! Hope she had a happy birthday!
