Playing Catch up: T is 3

Better late than never! Teanna (soon to be officially changed to "Tiana") celebrated her 3rd birthday on August 3rd with a Dora party at Grandpa Cance's beach house!


The four of us


VERY excited for the party to begin


Mommy's best attempt at Dora cupcakes


Enthusiastic present opener!


She even reads the cards


Afraid of fire and loud noises...


But NOT afraid of cupcakes! Happy Birthday!

Dear Tiana,
Sometimes it is hard to believe you are 3 and not 23. You amaze us every day with how smart and grown up you are. It seems like you have gone from a toddler to a lady overnight. You've been working on writing your name, and you can recite the months of the year and days of the week. You tend to memorize your library books within a few days of getting them. People always comment that you are a bookworm just like Mommy! You are always surprising us with your memory when you talk about things that happened a year ago or people you've only met once. It is so funny hearing you sing along to songs on the radio. Your current favorites are Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson. You are also a classic oldest child who is a stickler for rules and loves to let Mommy and Daddy know when your little brother is breaking them. You've also been showing us some budding athleticism at gymnastics and dance class. Daddy and I have no doubt that you will excel at everything you invest yourself in. You are our little superstar!
Love,
Mommy
