G is 3

Hard to believe my little baby girl is already past the 3 year mark.  I just haven't had a chance to stop and do a little photo shoot with her.  Thankfully, she is probably the most photographed member of our family, so there is no shortage of pictures of her!!  I typically like to shoot in the evenings, but it's getting dark so early and our evenings are just busy busy.  The other day it was overcast and the perfect weather for it.  Totally last minute when I should have been making lunch for my hungry brood, I took her outside and grabbed a few shots.  She's such a dear, she loves getting her picture taken and was no shortage of smiles.

Sometimes it's hard for me to discern Greta's personality in all the craziness of her older siblings.  In so many ways she is such a mix of Claudia and Morgan, yet she really is her own little girl.  She is more quiet, does not have much to say, though she has no trouble expressing her opinion!  She loves to giggle and be silly.  She loves to be outdoors, really and truly would stay out there all day if someone was with her.  She has even started to go by herself some, just to ride bike on the driveway.  She is a very happy playmate with her big brother, going along with whatever he has in mind for her.  Greta loves to run, and I love to watch her run.  She always runs with a smile with her hair blowing in the wind.
She has her sister Claudia's blood who loves all things pretty and loves clothes.  Greta could dress herself long before Aaron could and does so all day long.  She is very particular about her clothes and hair, though there is no rhyme or reason to it.  Her latest obsession is purses, she LOVES to carry around a purse (or two!!) full of her little treasures.  Thankfully, there is no shortage of them laying around, leftover from her sisters.  She does not know or care that they are hand-me-downs!
One of my favorite things about Greta is that she loves to snuggle.  Though that translated into a very high maintenance newborn who never wanted to sleep on her own, it is now quite sweet.  Steve and I never tire of getting a chance to snuggle with our G.
We love this girl, she's such a sweet treat for our family.  She is really and truly adored by her siblings and we are so happy to have her!!
And yes, we really do call her "G"!!

I got this dress for Greta for $1 at a yard sale and it was her favorite this summer.
