July 4th has become a split holiday for us…first half we celebrate our Lainey’s birthday and then we switch gears and do the red\/white\/blue thing.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s hard!\u00c2\u00a0 I wonder if she’ll eventually want to have her birthday on the 3rd.\u00c2\u00a0 Must be that much harder to have your b-day on Christmas or Easter!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s how she started her day:<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7842\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Does that look comfy to you?\u00c2\u00a0 After I turned her table top fan off (which always wakes her up INSTANTLY), I got this:<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7844\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stretch, yawn.\u00c2\u00a0 Smile.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re blessed, she almost always wakes up happy as a clam.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, a girl has to begin her birthday clean, right?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7856\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rinsing her hair with a butter tub.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s right, we’re high class.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next part of the day was spent riding to the dealership to pick up Randy’s car (it had been there during our vacation for oil change, etc.) and then some errands.\u00c2\u00a0 Including Target, where we bought Lainey a new booster seat.\u00c2\u00a0 We call it her big girl seat. :)<\/p>\n

After lunch and a nap, it was time for cards and presents.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7903\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She was jabbering away with the card, and then the $$ fell out.\u00c2\u00a0 As you can tell from the pic, she was shocked.\u00c2\u00a0 She jumped up and started handing out her money to each of us.\u00c2\u00a0 lol… We gave her an Aquadoodle mat and a toy camera and THEN we had dinner.\u00c2\u00a0 This is all riveting, huh?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

How old are you, Lainey??<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7930\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Carvel ice cream cake!\u00c2\u00a0 She was so excited to BLOW out her candles (she’d been practicing), but didn’t quite have the air pressure to do it (darn fistula).\u00c2\u00a0 Daddy ended up helping a little.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7936\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We devoured the cake, I changed her into her 4th of July shirt, and we headed out to watch fireworks at our friend’s parent’s pier.\u00c2\u00a0 Lainey heard the first one, promptly buried her head in my neck, scared to bits.\u00c2\u00a0 I took her home…we had some “rock rock” (rocking chair) time and I put my big 3yr old to bed.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’ll have her updated weight\/height after her well check up next week.\u00c2\u00a0 Until then, here are a few things we learned about Lainey on our vacation.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

1.\u00c2\u00a0 She loves spicey wasabi peas.\u00c2\u00a0 She called them daddy’s brown food.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

2.\u00c2\u00a0 She prefers fast carnival rides over kiddie rides.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

3.\u00c2\u00a0 She has zero fear of heights.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

4.\u00c2\u00a0 In the car, she loves to call your name over and over and over.\u00c2\u00a0 Then, once you look at her, she says “ummmm” and trys to think of something to say.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

5.\u00c2\u00a0 She hates loud noises.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

6.\u00c2\u00a0 She’ll only pee in the woods if you sing Itsy Bitsy Spider.\u00c2\u00a0 Sounds weird, but it worked.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

7.\u00c2\u00a0 She loves rolling down a grassy hill.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

8.\u00c2\u00a0 If she has a choice of color for something, it’ll always be blue.\u00c2\u00a0 Light blue to be exact.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

9.\u00c2\u00a0 She all of a sudden started actually coloring a few days ago…not just scribbling on the page, but actually trying to stay in the lines.\u00c2\u00a0 What a big girl :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
