life so far with her.

I know my posts these days are long but I just had to talk about our Bentley girl on her 3RD birthday.

She only weighed 2 1/2 pounds when she was born and spent 7 weeks in the hospital.
I hated leaving her behind every day.

Holding her was the highlight of my life!

First night home.

She was such a little doll.... but seemed so big after 7 weeks.

Six months later she chunked right up.

At one she loved to get into mischief.
But we couldn't get mad at that face!

Her daddy was in love from from the beginning.

At two she was still naughty but still our little angel.
We just love her to pieces!


The things she values most in life is her BINKY and BLANKEY.

She has always loved being out side no matter the weather.
Here she wanted to be cool like the boys and pee in the trees while we were up the canyon.

Now she is three and I can't wait to see what she becomes. This year I am excited to see her personality shine even more as her speech progresses.
Maybe she will even grow out of her naughtiness... (maybe!).

For her birthday breakfast we made her favorite food... pancakes.
(Who doesn't love carbs and sugar?)

Bensy we love you so much!
