Celebrating Jocelyn

THREE YEARS AGO TODAY, Jocelyn was welcomed into our family. All 6 lbs 7 ounces of pure joy! (Joy that she was finally in our arms just 3 days past my due date and joy that I was no longer on bed rest!!) It hardly feels like it's been three years already. Here's a little walk down memory lane on her BIRTH day:


And here she is TODAY on her 3rd Birthday:




She really is a delight to have around! Always making us laugh and ALWAYS keeping us on our toes. "Happy 3rd Birthday sweetie! We all love you so much and are so glad you are ours!" :)

So I don't forget how much she's grown in the last year, I'm going to "jot down" how her last year has gone:

* Shows interest in wanting to play soccer like her big sis.
* Recently started potty training and doing excellent wearing big girl pull-ups.
* Attached still to her favorite blanket.
* Loves to: read, get dressed by herself, put shoes on by herself, paint, blow bubbles, make us laugh, play with playdoh, play with blocks and legos, dress up, playing with her baby dolls, coloring, get magazines in the mail and "helping" mama find recipes, take pictures with a disposable camera, playing on the playground, help put groceries away and load and unload the washer and dryer (How can I decline HELP?), watch from the window to see if Daddy is home from work, help cook and set the table.
* Foods she enjoys: carrots with ranch dip (has to have dip or you can forget it!), pasta, rice, zucchini, mandarin oranges, peaches, crackers, chicken nuggets, olives, applesauce, chips & hummus, turkey & cheese sandwiches, dried strawberries, waffles & pancakes, eggs, cheese.
* Foods she continues to dislike: milk, tomatoes, lettuce, pineapple, chicken (except for the mentioned chicken nuggets that she loves), mashed potatoes, broccoli - more LIKES than DISLIKES. Thank goodness tables are finally turning. She used to be very picky!
