THREE

Three! My big boy is already three, and he couldn't be more excited about it. I just want to know how my tiny baby boy grew up so fast! Those feet started big, and still are.

His birthday week was a great time. We celebrated twice, of course. First Jeremy took the day off so we could just do exactly what Hunter wanted to do, which included eating our favorite buckwheat pancakes and playing with every single toy he owns.

Last night of two:

Then Nana and Grandaddy came over along with the cousins from down the hill to eat and play on Saturday. The cake had to be truck themed, which turned out easier than expected when I broke a chunk off accidentally while flipping it out of the pan.

  

Some of us burned off the cake with tackling practice (or rather, Jackson let the little ones knock him down and pile on top of him)...

  or following instructions on how best to fit inside small spaces (thankfully Nana took this one on).

 

Little Hunter is kind and generous, shy in crowds but never stops talking at home, creative and thoughtful, full of energy and determination, and he might have gotten a little stubbornness from an unnamed parent. He's sweet and funny and survived at least the "terrible twos" without a public meltdown even once. He loves to jump and throw things, and is terribly good at both. We are truly such lucky parents :)
