That is an intense face! The flame actually came back after she blew out the candles. Uncle Nick had bought them, so we thought he bought trick candles.

Selah was so tired she almost didn't finish opening her presents.

Last Saturday we had a Backyardigans themed birthday party for our girl, who turned 3!!! It was a wonderful day filled with much love and laughter from friends and family. Selah was given some great gifts that she is enjoying very much. It was extra special, because my dad and grandma were there. My dad and I recently reunited after 7 years of not speaking. God is good!
A couple of days later we went to the zoo, as it seems to be an annual tradition to go around her birthday. It was also $4 Tuesday! Selah said her favorite animals were the hippos.
So, what is Selah up to these days? Selah loves books! She could probably look at books all day long. After receiving even more for her birthday I've decided we need to get her a bookcase all her own. My goodness, the girl completed the Summer reading program for the library in a few days. Selah has a great imagination, and is always making up adventures for us to go on. She is very intelligent and speaks well for her age (I'm not just saying that because I'm her mom either). Selah is so funny! She has great comedic timing! Selah is musical, and can take a tune to a song she already knows and make up new lyrics. Lately she has started earning money (just coins, no dollars) for various things, such as putting away her toys, throwing her garbage away or putting dishes in the sink, and putting her shoes in the closet. She is loving this new found sense of responsibility. She is very kind and loving to her baby brother. Every night she gives him a hug and kiss and says, "I love you stinker!" That is just a little bit about my big 3 year old girl!
My precious daughter,
What a joyous year it has been watching you grow and learn. I am amazed by you! You are beautiful, so funny (hilarious, actually), and very smart. You have a very caring nature about you, and I am thankful for that quality in you. You are a great big sister and bring so many smiles to your brother, as well as to daddy and I. You are a beautiful child of God and a great blessing in our lives. We love you!
Oowees and Kissies,
Mommy
