Where has time gone?

You know how you can suddenly stop and wonder "How the heck did time go so fast?" Yeah, I'm at that point. Three years ago I looked like this!



And then after 26 hours of labor I got my best birthday present ever, my little baby girl. So in honor of that day let's have a little picture tour of what Danica looked like the last 3 years at this time.

Here she is voicing her displeasure at being unrapped. She was a fan of swaddling.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Danica from the early days. She was just all snuggled up and sleeping so cute.

And the first birthday arrived so fast!
At that time she didn't know what cake was so she wasn't impressed.

And then all too soon the 2nd birthday came around. She still didn't quite understand what cake was so she just kind of poked at it. That's what happens when you don't give your kid cake ever.

And this was about as messy as she got that day.

I still can't believe that Danica will be three tomorrow! We will be having a little birthday celebration for her on Sunday. Her Grandma and Papa Ryther will get here on Thanksgiving day to help celebrate that and birthdays. I have a feeling that the cake will be a much bigger hit this year since she definitely knows what is is now.
