Once again, you’ve brought me to tears. I remember so many of those photos, so many favorites over the years. But how can she be THREE? How can that be? I think back to when you were first pregnant and so worried about everything and now I watch you with such pride because you’ve grown into your own through motherhood. You’re a talented mom with a delightfully adorable little Bug, and it’s been a blessing to watch this journey though your blog.
Happy Birthday Bug! For a minute I freaked! I saw that second picture and thought you cut her hair for her birthday – too funny! Can’t wait to hear more about what year three has to offer.
She just keeps getting cuter! The time really flies doesn’t it? I’m sure she had a great birthday … how could she not with such a fun and creative mom? You guys seem to be great parents. I know parenthood isn’t perfect, but it’s perfectly great just the same.
In December, my oldest son turned 6 and my youngest turned 2. Still hard for me to believe.
Hey, you used one of my photos! Thanks! :-) Now I feel all special and stuff. Also, I see why you asked me if I’d had a chance to watch the slideshows!
I discovered your blog about a week before you gave birth to Bug and it’s been so much fun following along for the last three years! Happy birthday, Baby Bug and thanks for sharing so much, Mom.
Happy Birthday Bug! Goodness, I can’t believe she’s three….I’ve been reading your blog since about the time of your Paris trip and that seems not so long ago.
Wow, time flies! Happy Birthday to Baby Bug! The party prep looked like so much fun! I miss refridgerator boxes… ~sigh~ anything was possible with a sturdy box.
I can’t believe how fast the past three years (well, four, if you count pregnancy) have gone by! Heck, the last year went by for me in about ten minutes! Happy Birthday Bug!
Great collection! I think I’ve said it before, but Bug is going to love looking through your photos.
It strikes me that some of the earliest Bug pics are the same picture I have of my little girl (9 weeks old). And some are shots I now see I’ve missed and wish I’d taken! We’re in England though, so some of the sunlit shots and especially beach shots were never in our potential portfolio. :)
Such different baby girls, but in ways, so similar. The whole-being delight or discontent, the cheeky smiles, the steady gaze, some of the contents of the toolkit used to take apart the childless person and put her together again somehow equipped to be a Mom.
…Don’t mind me. Postnatal hormones, you know. I never used to see what was so engaging about babies. Although the tendency to blather on once I’ve started typing is not new…
Your pictures and stories give hints as to what’s in store in the near future for us.
