Well, Annaliese Sadie Bigler turned 3 on November 6th. We had a little family party and dinner, and she had a great time. I got a Rapunzel cake from the bakery (had a free coupon) and Annie got some new barbies, a cute sleeping bag, and her favorite gift of all, green hand soap in a frog-shaped pump. That girl loves playing with soap and water. 
Also, the Bottle Fairy came and took her bottles to give them to other babies who actually need them. (Don't judge!) We had our reasons for letting her keep the bottle til now (at bed) and 3 was the perfect time to be done with them. She transitioned pretty easily, and loves her new tea seat that the bottle fairy left.A few things to remember about Annie at age 3:
She still cannot have any dairy, but she loves her almond milk.
She gets a crazy bum/lower back rash from eggs and peanut butter, so avoiding those too.
She is my most emotional child, and feels thing intensely, much like her mother.
She can throw some major fits, and when she gets super mad, you can almost see the steam coming out of her ears. She clenches her fists and squeezes until her whole body shakes.
She also can be the sweetest, most polite little thing, which is what side we see more often.
She has a tiny little voice, and she LOVES to sing, and she's great at it.
She likes to play with her doll house more than Kalia did, and is more of an independent player.
She LOVES makeup and having her nails painted.
She still prefers to take an afternoon nap, although most days I will make her stay awake so that she'll go to bed early with Kalia.
She loves to sing Taylor Swift songs, and "If I Die Young" by the Band Perry. She knows almost all the words.
