Happy 3rd Birthday Sweet Baby Nate

Singing to our Birthday Boy
Blowing out his candles!
Oh, Wow!
Could he be any squishier?
Birthday fun at the park! Handsome big brother!
Oh, my sweet little boy!
Going for the big climb!
Racing done the slides!
Peek-a-boo!
Song time at Chevy's
Daddy and Big Brother!
Joking around with mommy!
I love Nate!
Cat Cake!

Happy Birthday sweet Nate! How in the world is our baby 3? Oh, this little boy has been such a joy since the moment when knew I was pregnant with him! He is our miracle baby and we love him to bits and pieces. There is so much to know about Nate at 3:

  • I have never-ever met a happier/more easy going guy than Nate! He is completely sweet about just about everything! He is a go with the flow guy and we love that about him.
  • On the flip side he is PASSIONATE/STRONG WILLED if he gets his mind set on something! He has outgrown the terrible twos and oh were they terrible!
  • He is fun, fun, fun which usually translates into constantly on the go (running, jumping, bouncing, tumbling, etc...).
  • He is a numbers guy: He counts to 30 and beyond, and he can do some adding. He loves patterns and using pattern blocks, puzzles, and more.
  • He is a builder. Wow, can this little boy build. Lego's, duplos, wooden blocks, and lots of new fun things, magna tiles and zoobs.
  • He is addicted to playdough. It is like crack for Nate.
  • He loves to cook, cook, cook! He loves to cook in his pretend kitchen and he really loves to cook with me!
  • The boy is animal lover! He loves, stuffed animals, animal figures, pictures and books about animals. He loves cats above all things (poor milo).
  • Nate loves! He loves his mommy and daddy and brother! He loves deeply and sweetly. He hugs you close at night when you sing him songs!
  • He is destined to be a rock star!
  • Nate is a social beast. The guy runs with a pack of girls at preschool (Alex, Lola, Paige, rory, etc...).
We are so amazed by our smart little boy! He is a sweet, imaginative, creative passionate, loving little boy.

He had a fabulous birthday! We opened some presents, had cake for breakfast, took brother to school and then he and I came home and opened the rest of his presents! We then went to the pottery place and he painted an orange kitty! This was his first trip to the pottery place and he was so excited! After lunchtime and rest time we went to the Humane society to drop off the tons of dog/cat gifts our friends brought to Nate's birthday party instead of gifts for Nate. The boys got to go in to the cat visiting rooms and pet a ton of cats and they got to visit with the bunnies and dogs! We then went to the park for an hour of play time in our gorgeous 75 degree weather! Finally, we finished up the night at Chevy's! Nate at about 2 pounds of chips and salsa though he felt that it wasn't spicy enough. They sang to him and gave him a sombrero! IT was adorable!

Happy birthday sweet baby boy! I know you say your not my baby, but you will ALWAYS be my baby!

Happy, Happy, Birthday sweet Nate!

Gromma and PopPop love all these great pictures. I know you had a wonderful day, and felt pretty excited about singing the Happy Birthday song to you this morning.

Eli, You look so grown up sitting at the top of the slide. Are you sure you are only four?

I will dream of my big guys tonight!

Love and hugs,

Gromma

What a perfect birthday. You all look so happy. I don't know what was better the dog/cat cupcakes or the cat cake! Sammie you are just amazing. I love your tradition of birthday dinners at Chevy's. Love to all....Grammy
