3

It is hard to believe, but Tank turned 3 this past week. We love having a 3 year old around here! He adores anything related to cars/trucks, spends a good majority of the day running around naked, can be quoted saying several times a day, "do you want to play with me for just a one minute?" while holding his index finger up, and always wants the "whole bag" or "box" or "bowl" of any food item (the other week he wanted the entire serving bowl of rice at dinner and was very distraught when the rest of us had the nerve to take a portion). We've got a pretty cute and sweet little guy on our hands!  

He blew out all the candles on his own this year and was pretty surprised when the fire went out!

hands

I love whenever I am feeding Bitsy she grabs onto my hands with all her little might.  

one tooth down

Bug lost her first tooth this morning! She is pretty excited and has big plans for the tooth fairy tonight.

visit

Papa and Grandma Duffin came for a visit! It was so fun having them here.

blessing

Bity's blessing day came and went. It was such a beautiful day spent surrounded by family. I love the tradition we have of gathering together for baby blessings. Bitsy was fortunate to have my mom sew her dress and Andrew's mom crochet her booties. And I love that her outfit was pink!  

  

little ballerina

Little Bug had her annual ballet recital last weekend. It was so fun to watch her on stage. When we first signed her up for dance, I was pretty sure it would not last. However, Bug loves to pretty much dance everywhere she goes, down the hall to her room, to the car, in the grocery store. Everywhere. It is pretty sweet. I guess for the time being, we have a little ballerina. This year she was also doubly lucky to have both grandmas, papa and a bunch of little cousins come to see her dance. 

big brother

Tank does a great job of being a big brother. Quite often I catch him "checking" on Bitsy while she is sleeping, find his matchbox cars lovingly placed by her or on her tummy and will often find his beloved blanky on her. Lets hope he keeps this up when she becomes more threatening and can actually grab for stuff.

lots of love

Bitsy is never want for company. 

prairie dog look

This is how Bitsy usually has her arms. Whether eating, sleeping or laying on the boppy, they are generally tucked in like this. I had to snap a photo of it before she stops doing it. It reminds me of a little prairie dog.

My favorite little people.
