Happy 3rd Birthday Ansley

 I scream, 

You scream,

We all scream 

for Ansley 

on 

her 3rd birthday.

Isn't it amazing how quickly 

a newborn grows to being

a little human being?

 

Day 1

to 

Day 1,095

goes by faster than a Lamborghini...

on a straight away.

There's so much a little human absorbs in 3 years

from family and the world around her.

And Miss Ansley is no exception.

She has learned a gazillion things...

to walk and talk 

not chew gum

sleep in a big girl bed, 

be a Manomet girl...

which means climb 107 stairs and 

"swim" to Flat Rock,

ABC's,

math (ok count), 

read (ok, the pictures)

sing baby shark ov'r and ov'r,

be flexible...

and silly, 

be a big sis...

-insert countless brags here-

but the most important thing 

Ansley has learned 

by far and beyond is that

 she is loved.

That is 

knowledge 

she can take to the Bank

that will compound daily, 

year after year,

and yield a fortune in the future.

Anywhooo...

Ansley's ice cream party was delicious fun...

no meltdowns...

just lots of licking good ice cream 

with every topping to fancy your taste.

(nice job mama)

My favorite  

was the 

Ansley a la mode 

sprinkled with smiles

Ben and Jerry has Cherry Garcia

but

we have sweet Cherry Ansley.

She will forever be the cherry on top

who makes our world a sweeter place.
