Three years old!

Leah had a lot of fun on her birthday! Her Grandma Caine and Uncle Jeremy came to help her celebrate her special day! It was really cute -- she just seemed so happy and excited about everything the entire day. Here are some pictures:

Leah really loved all of her birthday balloons!

We went to Ballard Locks to watch the boats go through and check out the fish ladder (we might have seen one fish), and they had these fun wave sculpture things that Leah liked.

On the way to the park later, we stopped by the Fremont Troll. Leah wanted to climb to the top of the "scary monster", but it wasn't that easy to get her up even halfway, so this is as far as we got :)

Leah was so happy to open presents! She tried to share them all, too, and insisted that some of them were ours, even after she opened them.

Ever since her Daddy's birthday in October, Leah has insisted that she wanted a "blue chocolate cake" for her own birthday. We think she was referring to the blue box that the chocolate cake mix came in, but I thought it would be fun to frost it with blue frosting anyway. This was the first year that she blew out all of the candles herself!

We also had french fries for dinner (at Leah's request). Don't worry, we made hamburgers too, but Leah only had one bite of hers... oh well! It was her birthday, after all!

Yesterday was Leah's three-year appointment, and she weighs about 33 pounds and is about 37 inches tall. She is very healthy! She was sad at the end, when she had to get two shots ("the doctor gave me two owies"), but overall she was very excited to have her own doctor's appointment! (She came with me to Grant's six-month appointment last week, and has wanted to go back for herself ever since.)
