This Season's Color

The color for spring is lively lilac, at least at our house.  Katie rang in the first official day of spring with an outdoor pedi and mani.  I wish I could reach my own feet as easily as I can reach hers and I'd have lively lilac piggies too.  Jon has one toe, and I do mean toe, painted in an effort to support K's creative endeavors.  Such a good dad!

Pregnotated (28 weeks plus a few days)

We've got a new blog name in the works since we will soon be posting more about Baby Bundt.  These future posts may or may not include Katie or Abbey.  This is just a small taste of the changes to come.  In this post, Katie will only be mentioned and not featured in any photos due to her refusal to wear pants (or dress, or skirt) this evening.  

The belly at 28 weeks.  Yes, it is as heavy as it looks.  Not really sure where 11 more weeks of growth is going to go, but really looking forward to seeing just how big a belly can get!

According to the very scientific baby books I've been reading, Baby Bundt should be about the size of a large acorn squash at this point.  Assuming I can find an acorn squash this time of year, and can then get Katie clothed, and willing to hold the aforementioned squash while I snap a picture, I will edit this post to include it.

Found one:

3 years old

3 years ago today, we met this little cutie for the first time.

We love the little girl she has grown to be.

Saturday, we celebrated three years with a princess party for our princess, family, and friends.

Her love for princesses and fanciness is only rivaled by her love of sweets!  Put the two together for a very happy girl.

Today, we celebrated the official b-day with birthday traditions!  

Tradition #1

Take a picture of the birthday girl 1st thing in the morning.  I imagine this will be more and more fun, at least for Jon and me, as she gets older.

Tradition #2

Eat birthday cake for breakfast!  Yum!  

Tradition #3

Do something really fun - like go to the zoo with your friend that shares your birthdate.

The Ides of March Girls in very cool shades.

Forget the animals!  The best part of the zoo is the candy store!

So tired, but her grip on the lollipop holds...

And last, but certainly not least, the newest tradition for birthdays at our house is...

Tradition #4

Birthday girl selects the dinner menu.

Katie's Choice Menu

Bug Shaped Mac and Cheese

Strawberry Applesauce

Baked Cheetos

Garlic Bread

French Fries and Ketchup

I have to admit that it was a pretty awesome dinner and maybe the first time EVER that Katie cleaned her plate ;)
