Lyla turns 3!!!!

It happened. As much as I didn't want it to, it happened. Lyla turned 3. I know every parent says it, but I just don't know where the time has gone. There are days that I look at her and think, "what happened to my baby?" But I also love this stage...no diapers, no nap time, she can communicate, it's great. We play and laugh all the time! Of course, with better communication comes demands, fights, and reasoning! Who knew that could happen! On April 15th, we had Lyla's birthday party at Pump It Up. She went to a birthday party there back in December and had a blast. I decided then and there that we would have her party there as well. It was so easy too. No clean up, no prep, the staff does it all. And all kids (and parents) are easily entertained. Lyla had a blast!!!! She ran and jumped and played the entire time. The two other times we've been to Pump it Up she wanted me with her every second, but not at her party. She was with her friends and having the time of her life! That being said, it was very hard to capture any pictures of her playing. So here's some from the party room. All the girls

And all the boys

Lyla and her sweet friend Lily. I just love this picture.

Lyla's actual birthday was Monday, April 16th. I decided to take the day off to spend with the birthday girl. I got to take her to dance class and then the two of us went to brunch at Peach Cafe in Boerne. I love this place and it was so much fun to eat on china and a "big girl" place with Lyla.

We then walked around down by the river before heading home to throw on our swim suits and play with her new water table.

Later on that day I took Lyla for her 3 year check up....no shots!! I think that was my favorite part. Lyla is 39.5 inches (75th percentile) and 29.5 lbs (20th percentile). Tall and skinny. Dr. Wood was very impressed with Lyla's verbal skills and her speedy development. Lyla sure did love showing off all of her talents. All in all it was a great birthday with my sweet three year old.
