Birthday Girl

Piper turned THREE last Saturday! Thanks to Netflix, she has completely fallen in love with Kipper the Dog. She has been informing me for months now that for her birthday she would have KIPPER CAKE! So we had Kipper, Pig and Tiger cupcakes.

Piper got lots of love via the mail! Thank you for all the cards and gifts! She loved all of them!

Some of my favorite things about our little Piper:

• Her singing. She does it all the time. She sings songs she's learned as well as little ditties she's just completely made up. It's precious. I have tried to get it on video but as soon as she realizes I'm recording her, it's all over.

• Her imagination. Piper can sit for hours and play in her imagination-land. She creates characters, stories and situations with her Polly Pockets, Polly's CLOTHES, her stuffed animals, her brother's Ironman figurines...there is no limit to her ability to play!

• Her tender heart and feisty spirit. As Piper grows, I am realizing these two things go together. Because as feisty and fiery as she can be, she can just as quickly feel compassion, joy and love for someone...someone she loves, or even a stranger. I believe these two characteristics of her personality were given to her by God with intent to compliment each other in her passions.

• Cute Piper-isms: "I can't found it!" "I want peanut-hutter-jelly-and-goldfish." "Beebee & Woongie" "Hangled" (Instead of "Tangled") Her lamb named "Neigh" (instead of Baa) The way she adds "Momma" to the end of her sentences. "Skeetie-o's" (mosquitoes) "Oopsie-doo!" "I do NOT! Goodbye!"
