Today is Hayden's 3rd Birthday! She has been waiting for this day for many months now. For the past few months any time she saw something she wanted she'd say "maybe for my birthday party." I've heard this every day, usually multiple times a day. She cracks me up. Here are a few pictures that have brought us to this milestone....
Hayden's Birth Day-
Her 1st Birthday-
Her 2nd Birthday-
Her 3rd Birthday-
We aren't actually having her party until Saturday. But she got to choose her birthday breakfast. Which was "regular pancakes." (as opposed to egg pancakes or hootenanies) Cole got to share in the birthday breakfast with his first sampling of pancakes.
We let her open her present from us before Ryan headed off to work. She was very excited and has already had a tea party this morning, complete with Cheerios.Here are a few things about her at this age-
She loves nursery and is very eager to go each week. It amazes me how much she actually learns there. Every Sunday she'll tell me what her lesson was about. About the picture- She had some milk that she spilled and was playing with. I told he we don't play with milk and she needed to clean it up. Then she said "but Mom, I made a Temple." I stopped and looked and it really does resemble a temple. How can you be mad about that ;)
She loves to ride her bike! I got her a bike at a yard sale last month and she is always asking to ride it now. And she's actually really good at it. She loves to be outside and loves to get together with friends. She's very social.
She is a Daddy's girl most of the time. She loves building tents with him. She runs out to meet him every day when he gets home from work! She also loves being a big sister, aside from getting her hair pulled. She loves to kiss, hug and hold Cole. She is a very loving little girl. She doesn't usually like to cuddle but she gives great hugs and kisses.
She is silly! She loves to laugh and loves to make other people laugh. This face is often seen around our house. However, she can also have a major attitude! For example, a few months ago she was getting something out of a drawer in the kitchen. I opened the fridge and accidentally bumped her. Full of attitude she said, "Excuse me. I'm trying to do something here!" Also, we just taught her her full name. If we call her a princess or baby girl or something like that, she'll say "No, I'm Hayden Karen Woodland." So many of her replies are just laced with attitude! Oh boy. We're in for it ;)
She has a lot of energy and is a little performer. She likes to to gymnastics and loves for me to take her picture while she does. She does flips off the couch, somersaults, jumps off of everything, etc, etc.....
One of her favorite thing to do it DANCE! We had her in a dance class last year, which she loved. We are going to sign her up again soon because it's so fun to watch her. Every time we go to 6 Flags we have to see the Wiggles Show. And everytime she's up front dancing right along with them! I love it. I think she has a future career as a Wiggles dancer.
That's just a little bit about our Haydie Babe. She makes us so happy!
Happy Birthday Hayden!! We love you!
