Guess who is 3!?!

Yesterday we celebrated Megan's 3rd birthday. I can't believe she is 3 years old already, I know I say this every year, but this past year went way too fast! Here are some of the fun things that Megan learned/experienced in the past year:

• She has learned how to sing her ABC's and count to 20 (give or take random numbers at random times)
• She has mastered climbing a ladder and sliding down slides.
• She moved into a beautiful new house and it never even phased her.
• She is willing to say "hi" to anyone that will look at her (slowly starting to become less shy)
• She can peddle her tricycle like the best of them!
• She can follow directions and says "please" and "thank you" most of the time without prompting.
• She has been potty trained for a while and is very good at letting everyone know when she needs to go potty.

So as you can see she has learned lots of useful things this year. Can't wait to see what new skills she will discover next.

Her 2nd birthday

It looks like she has grown a little bit in the last year.

1 month old

Aww, my sweet little tiny baby. Megan has been pretending to be a baby lately and she wants Mark and I to wrap her up like a baby, only problem is her baby blankets are all too small :(
Such a happy 3 year old. Love love love her to pieces! Mark and I love being her daddy and mommy and everyday we say "She's cute!" Happy Birthday sweetheart!

Moo-moo Cows!!!

While at a family reunion, Megan got to take a tour of the Marvin family Dairy Farm. She was super excited to go see moo-moo cows up close. This was the first calf Megan met at the farm. As you can see, Megan was a little unsure, I think she always forgets how big cows are in real life. (This little calf was very cute, he had freckles all over his nose and butt)

Megan saying "hi" to all of the cows. I believe all of the cows in this barn either just had babies or were about to have babies.

Maria was showing Megan that calves will suck on your finger because they think it is a bottle. Megan did not want to try, but I think a couple of calves licked her when she got a little too close.

Megan wanted to show her moo-moo cow to the real cows. Maria was very excited to learn that Megan brought her own cow with her to the family reunion. (Side note: At the fair Megan had to find Maria to show her the 2 new stuffed cows she got)

"One of these things is not like the other" Megan found a spot in the middle of the calves where they could not reach her.

Megan and Grandma Schutte taking formula to the calves. The calves drink their moms milk for the first couple days but then they drink formula...who knew!?!

After drinking the buckets of formula dry, the calves will lick the formula off of their neighbors mouths. It was funny to see. These cows REALLY like their formula!

And then at the end, Megan was trying to feed the biggers cows hay. Too bad she kept finding the shortest pieces of hay and the cows just couldn't grab them. But she tried and had lots of fun. I think if Megan ever needs a summer job, she could work at the Marvin Dairy Farm, and she would love it!
