He is...

- - turning 3 today.

It amazes me how 3 years have passed since this photo.

- - my snuggly little one.

- - such a heartbreaker. Those blue, blue eyes!!

- - so helpful, always putting his shoes by the door. And putting his plate & silverware in the sink. Without being asked. He just turned 3 for Pete's sake! His wife is going to thank me someday. haha.

- - such a good brother.

- - one of the kindest little guys- - always sharing. Even his potty training treats.

- - so determined to do what he decideds to do. In example, potty training- he just woke up & told me that he was going to start going in the potty. And has done so ever since. And sleeping without a bedrail, and dressing himself, etc... he just all of the sudden tells me he wants to do these things, and then does them. Wow!

- - a basketball FANatic! His first word was "ball". Followed by a 3-syllable word- - "ba-kee-bah" (That's basketball in very small baby talk- heehee).

- - so loved by me, his Mama. I can't begin to describe how his adorable, sweet smile can break your heart. How his tender little soft voice speaking these big words, and long sentences amazes me. How his "Hold Me!" cries for attention melts me, and makes me stop & realize he needs me still, even though there are 2 other small kiddos needing me too. I'm so thankful that he is my son. Happy Birthday, little buddy!

He had such a great day for his birthday, too.

Bikes!

Bouncy houses!

So many, many treats!

Lots of fun presents!

What more could a little boy ask for? :)
