belated birthday blog

A little over three years ago, the world was graced with the arrival of a new little spirit in the form of a giant baby boy. Since then, he has been growing even bigger and continuing to brighten the lives of his parents and brothers and basically anyone who comes within ten feet of him. Words could never sum him up, but some that describe him are: affectionate, silly, agreeable, pure, eager-to-please and open. He wears his heart on his sleeve and isn't ashamed of it. He still cries whenever I go anywhere without him and as soon as I return, tells me, "Mom, I'm so glad you're home!" Even if I just went to check the mail. He is ever so gracious and will say, "Thank you", for any compliment or positive comment he receives.

"You took a great nap!"

"Thanks."


He is sharp as a tack and creative, too. His brown eyes flash with intelligence and love. He never holds a grudge. And I'm constantly surprised at how easy going he is. When I tell him it's naptime and expect an objection, instead he'll say, "Okay, Mom."

If he had been our first-born we would have been in for a shock with the second two since most children are not nearly as "manageble" as our littlest guy.

He loves to make-believe: vacuuming, mowing, and now cooking. His favorite birthday gifts: a tiny BBQ pit and dish set. He had a Dora birthday party and did not even care about the teasing his brothers gave him. As he was opening his Dora book with a magic wand included it seemed he was oblivious to the taunts coming from behind him. But as soon as it was out, he whirled around, waved his pink wand and said,

"I will disappear you all!"

According the The Birth Order Book, babies of the family are typically entertainers and often end up taking life easy, sometimes too easy. They often have a harder time managing money and finding direction in life. But if he ends up living in our basement until he's 40, that's okay with me. My life wouldn't be the same without him.







Happy 3rd Birthday, Baby!

What a cutie! You can just tell his personality by that grin too.

What you're not in Chi-town with your sister? Ah...you get to be jealous of she and Tam, just like me! HA!

This one makes my uterus hurt. He's so very cute, and I love hearing all your thoughts about him. You're so very lucky, and it's cool that you appreciate it.
