Beautiful three year old!

In the morning, dad and I opened our birthday presents

 

Then we all went out to lunch together and
dad and I shared a birthday flan

 

I brought birthday cupcakes to my daycare to share
with all my friends

 

I felt pretty special having my friends all sing
happy birthday to me

 

After my nap, my parents surprised me with one
more present – a bike!

 

I had lots of fun paracticing riding my new bike on our patio

 

Afterward, I helped decorate my birthday cake
by adding lots of sprinkles

 

Didn't it turn out pretty?

At my 3-year checkup, the doctor told me I weigh
29 lbs and am 35.5 inches tall – I'm getting big!

 

I love the park

 

Since turning 3, Adeline has been much braver at the park, going on all the big slides, climbing ladders, and hanging from the bars

 

Adeline had her third birthday party at Rock
Creek Park on May 3rd

 

Nine friends and their parents came to celebrate with her

 

There was hula hooping, bubble blowing, coloring, playing with balls, and lots of running around

Fun in the sun at the park

 

Because I've been having so much fun at the park lately,
mom and dad have been taking me to play a lot. This time,
we went to a new park and I had lots of fun exploring.

 

This park had a fun tunnel for crawling through

 

Dad had fun playing with me too. He's so silly!

 

He helped me "drive the firetruck"

 

Just playing
