Lucy LaRue where are you!?!?

Well, that may seem like a silly question!  I know where you are!  But where is my baby?  My sweet. sweet. sweet little baby.  My baby girl that looked just like her big brother for so long!  My baby that now has a look all her own.  I can see Delaney in your cheeks, I see Garrett in your smile, I see Daddy in your eyes, but mostly I see me in your heart! 

You are such a big girl now, it's hard to imagine we're gearing up for THREE!  How can you be turning 3 in March?!?!  Part of me is so proud to see how big you are and how grown up you've become.  You are independent, smart, hilarious, kind, creative, sweet, tall, skinny, silly, friendly, adventurous, and free sprited! 

Here are some fun/sweet things you've said lately:

Mom, I farted-Not sure why this is so funny to you, or why you feel the need to share.
It's okay Dyna, calm down Dyna
I'll feed Dyna, you feed Dyna every single day when the big kids whine about who's turn it is you'll jump up and run in the kitchen and start scooping out some food for your pal!
I love you sooooo much!  <3>
You're my best fren (Best friend)
I'm gonna party with Pappy
Let's dance.  If a song comes on that you like you will grab anyone in the house and make them hold your hands and dance with you.  You love to bust a move! 
You're not my boss, MiMi is! Ha!
I'm sorry-you'll say I'm sorry for just about anything to try to get out of just about ANYTHING!  You are smart for being so young.  You know just how and when to play your cards!
Every night you say sweet dreams, goodnight, I love you...EVERY night. I love this time!
You love to read and you make up the stories as you go.  The other night you were reading in bed and you said And the Princess ATE the Dragon!  Oh, your imagination! 

You are such a special little girl one that I don't know what I'd do without!  I am so glad that you blessed our lives nearly four years after we had your brother!  I am so excited for Christmas with you this year as you seem to finally get IT!  I love to watch you grow and learn, just know that it's okay to be little, just because your big sister is 6 years older than you doesn't mean you have to try to keep up!  Be yourself, laugh out loud, be kind and give your whole heart to all that you do,  I love you Lucy LaRue!
