3!?!

Before my little Olivia turned 3 there was one thing we had to do...

...take away the binky!!! (I know BAD picture)


Jared's mom gave us this great idea to take Olivia to Build A Bear and put the binky inside the bear and that way she will always have it.

Three days before her birthday we took her to Build A Bear and picked out the perfect pink bear. We stuffed the binky inside gave her new bear a bath, picked out an outfit and printed out a birth certificate with her bears new name "Binky".

And it was that easy! NOT we had two very hard nights with lots of tears, but after those two sad nights things have gone back to normal. And we love our bear.



For Olivia's 3rd birthday we went to a children's science museum.

In a big bubble.



Playing with our daddy.

This year we decided not to have a big birthday party and celebrate as a family with our big 3 year old!





Where has the time gone it feels like Olivia has been with us forever and at the same time I can't believe she is 3 already! I'm so excited to see what the next year will bring for my little Olivia.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!!
