HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE LITTLE BOY!

We've loved every minute we've had with you and are SO grateful to have you in our family!

 This year we improved the candle-blowing experience with a chair and clothes on :)

 Caleb has been talking about his birthday for a month and his only request was "blue cookies".  He LOVES helping make cookies more than anything, so that's what we did! He's gotten pretty good at the mixer--if I walk away to get an ingredient, he'll usually turn on the beaters himself and give them a whirl...which isn't always a good thing, but makes him feel very helpful and grown-up :)

 Evie was at school so he got both beaters to himself and thought it was sooooo great!

And here they are--very blue and very delicious!

 

 Fun times with his birthday balloons--running all over the house and laughing hysterically!

 My adorable big boy!  Whenever I say "smile" he usually gives me this cheesy grin :)

 This face looks like the "smolder" from the movie Tangled.  Mr. GQ :)

 

As Caleb turns 3, he has as much energy as ever!  He absolutely loves to run around in the backyard with Truman and Evie.  He kicks balls, rides his scooter and trike, pretends to mow the lawn and loves to fill up cups and bowls with water and dump them on the ground.  He is talking a ton and says "um...maybe.." before almost everything.  He also loves to contradict with the phrase "no it not".  He LOVES music and dancing around and tries to sing along with his favorite songs.  He still loves to clean--something he's had a knack for since he was really little.  He can get most things spotless with a clorox wipe--and is so proud when he gets the job done. He loves his friends Briggs and Brogan and looks forward to playgroup each week.  He's a momma's boy through and through but is happy to play at other houses as long as he knows I'm coming back.    His favorite toys are planes, cars, the train table, and his vacuum.  He has a really funny sense of humor and loves to make everyone laugh, especially his sister--who is a great audience :)  He's brought so much joy to our lives! We think about his birthparents often and are so grateful for them.
