I was not looking forward to Makena turning three. For me, it marked her leaving the baby stage and becoming a little girl. I want my sweet girl to stay a baby a little longer. She has the cutest voice and speaks almost as well as her big sis. It's been fun watching her develop her speech and communicate her thoughts and feelings. Lately she's been telling us, "You're a good mommy/daddy." I'm not sure why she says it, but we'll take it!
She loves to pray for dinner and often surprises us with the things she mentions. She loves her Bible story book and will often flip through the pages, talking about what the story is about (it's pretty fun listening to what comes out of her mouth). She also likes to make up songs, often retelling a particular TV show.

I love that she doesn't care what she wears (especially now when there's another girl in the house that is very particular about what she wears). Makena will grab anything from her drawer and come downstairs with the craziest outfits. I usually have to get her to change at least one piece of clothing before we go out.
She is still our little clumsy one. She'll say, "I'm okay!" after tripping or bumping into a wall. But she often gets bigger bumps and bruises.
She loves to eat! She loves breakfast and often eats more than her sister in the mornings. She's always asking for snacks. She doesn't love vegetables like Karis, but she'll eat them. At dinner, she tells me she likes everything and wants to eat that particular meal every day. Needless to say, she's not a picky eater.
She can be easy-going with where we go and what we do. She's happy just being with family and likes to be at home. She's okay with not going out every day. She loves playing with big sis and will follow her lead. Unfortunately, she's quick to copy unfavorable words and actions as well -- even if she doesn't know what it means.
She can get sassy and sometimes resists being disciplined. She's been testing her limits at bedtime, coming out of bed multiple times to see what we'll do. Karis went through the same thing but we don't remember it lasting this long!
Makena has been calling Kyle her best friend. She loves to play with him and always wants to watch him for me. Here's a little video of them playing together.
