THREE!!!!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!



i can't believe that you are already 3!

you were supposed to be my baby that didn't ever grow up ...
did you get that memo?!

apparently not because you are getting SO grown up!!

you are fully potty trained ...
you can count ...
and you even wrote your name for the first time this week ...

you are such a fun, and quirky, kid.
you know exactly what you want and won't back down until you get it.
you are either completely hilarious and loveable or really crabby and stubborn - there is no in between.
you say the funniest things and you know exactly when to say them.
you absolutely ADORE drew and ben -
and are completely lost without them.
you have become a little sponge and copycat -
which is a bit scary at times.

you love ...

hot dogs,
backyardigans,
chipotle,
chewy,
candy,
chocolate milk,
mickey mouse,
adison,
cars,
the trampoline,
cocoa puffs,
and
me (a lot)

i am loving watching you grow
and seeing how much you change each day.
although i remember and LOVE thinking about the 6 pound baby that i brought home from the hospital 3 years ago ...
(well the HAPPY side of that baby) ...
i wouldn't change where we are today.
you are loving...
you are loveable...
and you are the PERFECT littlest brother for this family.

we love you SO much baby alex .... or um ... 'regular alex'
happy birthday, buddy!
