chase holding Ollie for me so I can cook dinner...Riding her bike fast!!

Pushing Ollie on the swing...

being KOOKY!
chillin with her lil brother..
at the beach when I was pregnant.. look how little she is !!
It's hard to believe how much she has grown in the past year. Inches and all~ but so much more. When Ollie was born in December, she was still in diapers. How quickly all that changed, she just grew up when he was born, amazing. And she has gone from my little 'tote' into such an independent, ever learning little girl. A really big girl. She is so beautiful! WAAAAAH!!!! I can't believe the changes in the past year... language, knowledge, I can't even begin to describe how much she has grown. I can't imagine there will be another year that shows so much fast change or growth.... here are some pics to remember her 3rd year of life, as she's about to embark on the big FOUR. She's already talking about five, and six, and TEN!! AAAAAAA!!!
There are so many amazing changes in her, and how independent and smart she has become. She can spell lots of words, Mama, Chase, Ollie, Gran, Cat, Dog, Stop, and she is starting to read books with a little help. She retains her common sense above all, and is such a help to me with Ollie. If you miss a week, you can bet she's become bigger and smarter than the last time you saw her.
Today she explained condensation and vaporization to me. She is a sponge!!! (with all the weather, i talked about it..guess she was listening)
And when we read a new *big* book today, she told me she already knew that dolphins were mammals and that a group of dolphins is called a pod.
OK! Yay Chase!! Birthday's coming soon!!
