Malia turns 3!!!!!

 Malia Joy to the world Schilling is now 3!!!  In many ways we were joking that she really should be turning 4 based on her maturity, height and abilities, but 3 is just about as perfect as can be:)  We love 3 so far!!  We celebrated this little princess with a myriad of fun parties- at preschool, with her friends at a Princess tea party, with our family at a Fancy Nancy Fabulous night out and then with our little family:)  We love you Malia!! You are the funniest, spunkiest, smartest, cutest, and bestest little 3 year old we have ever known!

 Malia's favorite book series is the "Fancy Nancy" collection so we decided to celebrate in style and everyone was so obliging to our little princess:)  We got out the tutus, accessories, boas and all manner of fabulous-ness and dined out at Ruby's in San Juan.  What a hit (and scene) we made there!

 And then we couldn't forget the fact Malia IS a princess so we invited her little girlfriends over for her 1st real birthday party with dress-up, crafts, tea party-ing, and even a visit from Cinderella herself!

 The girls were in heaven with dancing, singing and twirling around in all manner of girly-ness.  Having a girl is like the best thing ever, am I right?!  Well, I know nothing different so for me it's the greatest:)

At Malia's 3 year old check up (as expected) she measured up at almost 42 inches tall (that's tall enough for Space Mountain and Tower of Terror you guys!) and weighed in at 36 pounds.  Basically, she is off the charts for her height and really should be a 4 year old:)

She is excelling in Ms. Dianne's ABC preschool this year with the other 4 year olds that she is good friends with.  She loves learning and going to school and being with her friends.  She is such and social little girl and is always up for adventures and activities.  I get so worn out managing her social calender! :)

So there you have it!  Malia is now 3.  I really can't believe it and swear I was just looking at that pregnancy stick imagining if I would ever have a sweet baby girl.  I am so blessed and we sure love you Princess Malia!!
