I told Anna Kate when I was a little girl I looked just like her.  And she said, “Now you’re a big Mommy named Melissa!” 

Anna Kate loves fruit and yogurt parfaits from McDonald’s.  She calls them fruit and parfaits.  I can’t correct her, because I love to hear her say it… too cute!

From Rose’s journal: Noelle said about you at lunch, “She’s eating with a spoon all by her baby self!” Aww, you have the biggest cheerleaders in the world! Your sisters love you very much and celebrate all of your accomplishments with you!

From Anna Kate’s journal: Last night you came in our room at 3AM and when Daddy asked you what was wrong, you said, “I’m upset at the dark.” So… of course we let you sleep with us for the rest of the night. Stinker, why ya gotta be so cute!?!

From Noelle’s journal: When you are in distress, have just fallen or hurt yourself or really need me (those times when you are in tears), you call me Nahnah. I don’t know where it came from, but when you really need me, that’s what comes out. You call me Mom and Mommy the rest of the time. It makes me feel really special.  I’ll always come running to you!  I just love you to the moon and back girlie.
