Emma's Three!

Emma's birthday fell on a Sunday this year, so we were able to have a nice family birthday-day together. WE went to church, went out for a special birthday lunch, and came home and opened presents. She was super excited about her birthday this year.  I think this was the first year that she started to understand what was going on, and it was really very cute.  
She can be pretty darn stubborn, but gives in fairly easily.  She loves doing everything by herself.  Emma is more of a dare-devil than Lilah, and no where near the rule follower Lilah is.  I often find her standing on the arm of the sofa and jumping into the middle.  She'll sit back down while I'm reminding her to stay on her bottom, but then she's right back up again.  She learned to peddle her trike in the past few months, which she is very proud of.  She still shouts, "See!  I'm peddling!" every time she rides her trike.  She says funny things all the time and I need to write more of them down.  Every night at bedtime she asks what we are going to do the next day.  If you ask what she'd like to do, she almost says she'd like to go for a hike.  Emma is such a sweet big sister to Jonas Henry.  She loves to give him hugs and kisses, and he equally adores her.  She calls him "honey" most of the time, and it's so cute.  If he's fussy she says, "No fuss, I'm right here, honey!"  So sweet!!
As for her well-check stats, she's pretty tiny as my kids go.  She weighed in at 29.5 pounds (40%) and was 36 1/2 inches tall (30%).  She didn't get any shots, and was a pro at sniffing the flu mist vaccine.  She didn't cry once for the doctor (an Emma first)!  We also saw the dentist a few days ago and she cooperated and didn't cry there either.  Maybe three has made her a big girl!  I couldn't have been more proud.
