Ian's 3rd Birthday!!

A couple of weeks ago Ian turned 3! I know what you are thinking because, I myself was thinking the same thing, could this be. Yes, it is so,to my joy, and dismay all at one time. I know all parents feel the same way about their kids, so just bare with me as I brag on the most amazing little guy. He is such a joy to our lives. I remember the moment that Dr. Hager put him in my arms, I was wondering why he wasn't crying, if he was ok, she said he was perfect. He just looked at me, and seemed so content. I remember sleeping on the sofa with him for the first couple of months, and how he would sleep on my chest. He liked, and still does to this day like to cuddle and be close. I could sing to him and he would quiet down, or fall asleep. If I wasn't holding him he liked to be snuggled on the boppy pillow. For the first couple of months he only wanted to sleep in his car seat, and not in his bed, unless it was in the evening, then he did fine. This little guy of ours is so full of personality, life, energy, roughness, tenderness, wow, I am so glad the Lord give him to us! He lights up our lives! He likes to drum on everything, including walls. He will get his guitar out when music is playing. He sings to the top of his lungs anytime. I have to tell him in the stores to talk a little quieter, please. His biggest milestone to date, is POTTY TRAINING!!!!! Wow, I have been so blown away at how well he has done. We started last Wed, and he has done great! I am just so thankful! We are so glad we have been blessed with such a special, unique gift as our little Ian, thank you Lord for shining on us!

We had a family birthday party for Ian, the house was filled with family. Thomas the train is his favorite right now, so a Thomas the train cake, lots of presents, and love from family. We grilled hot dogs, and played and played. Ian got his first big boy bike, which he loved. We had such a great time celebrating our little guy! Thanks to all our family for coming!
