Happy 3rd Birthday Reagan,

Three years ago today, my life forever changed. You brightened my world and my love for you is unexplainable. I could try to tell you how much I love you, but it still wouldn't be enough. There are no words. 

You are beautiful, absolutely perfect. 

And there is nothing better than watching you grow. 

I wish I could bottle up some of your sayings. I could try to write them down, but it just wouldn't be the same. Hearing your sweet little voice and being in that exact moment is what makes it so memorable. 

And now you are three. 

You are every dream I ever had about having a little girl. You instantly became my best friend and continue to show me daily how much you love me. 

You became a big sister this year. A wonderful big sister. You are so nurturing, so loving, so attentive and I know you will always take care of your little brother.

You talk so well I don't correct you on the few words you say wrong. I know soon you will figure it out. So for now, I hold on to the few things you say incorrect to remind me you are still my baby.

You are loud and energetic at home. Yet you are also shy and quiet around people you don't know. 

You are so smart. You are constantly surprising me with what you retain and remember. You are in the "why" phase. Every sentence ends with why and as long as I keep answering you, you will respond with  another question. Inquisitive, yep I think so.

Your smile and your laughter is contagious.

You are full of joy.

I love to watch you laugh. Watch as your eyes disappear with laughter. That's how I know you are full of happiness. 

You have a love for music, just your Momma. And when it's on, you sing along as if you know every word. 

You light up when Daddy gets home. You meet him at the door with excitement. Jumping up and down, "Yay!! Daddy's home! Daddy's home!" I love the way you look at him, your bond, and how no one else could take his place.

You don't let me leave your site for long. We are always in the same room, if I leave you follow. You are so girly. Constantly copying me and always complementing me.

And when the day is over, we cuddle and read stories. Which will never get old. I love our nighttime talks, you tell me you love me and thank me for a fun day. And when you fall asleep I sneak out, only to sneak back in the morning before you wake. 

And I am proud. Proud of you and proud to say you are my daughter.

I am so lucky I get to spend my everyday with you. 

Happy 3rd birthday my sweet girl, my best friend, my first born. 

I love you, Mommy.
