My Favorite Spice turns 3

This milestone has meant big things for our family.  Nobody in diapers for the first time in 10 years.
That's a lot of diapers.  
For the past 10 years, we've always had someone under the age 3.
Of course it won't last long.  In fact I bought some newborn diapers today, opened up the box and had to show all these big sisters how small and cute they were.
I got ooh's and ahh's from all the girls, just the reaction I was hoping for.  
Clover immediately wanted to take off her panties and try them on.  Bad news.
Her sisters went thrift style with gifts for her birthday and found some of their old toys to wrap for her presents.
[This is why she has her own personal cake. ;)]



We ended the day by trying to teach her how to do summersaults outside.
Sporting her new haircut, Azure did a great job of showing her, but landed face first in the dirt.
What a good sister.
Happy birthday, Cloves.
You are one cute chaos creator.

  22. I just started reading your blog after seeing it linked on one of my other favorites, and not only do I love your style, but we seem to have similar taste in children's names. My Clover is 2 and a half, and she was almost an Olive. Hehe. Azure was also on the name list for our 10 month old Violet. Looking forward to cruising through more of your blog!

  24. Happy Birthday to Clover and congrats to you! How did you come up with your girl's names? Are they based on favorite colors? Well, with Clover you mentioned it's your favorite spice. Just wondering....

  26. thank you all for your kind comments about this ever growing belly of mine and our newly turned 3-year-old. she loves holding those 3 fingers up for everyone and anyone to see.

    Blogful-they are wensleydale with apricot biscuits!

    wwager-the shoes are about 3 years old and falling apart, but thank you :)

    Mommy of 3-we like meaningful names, so they each have symbolism behind them, not just colors ;)
