Happy 3rd Birthday T-Bone!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Tatey Bob! It is so hard to believe that he is 3 years old today! Some special memories I have of my sweet boy...

• The scariest pregnancy ever! Having to take heparin shots in my stomach twice a day for 8ish months!
• Seeing your beat up, black and blue face for the first time. You looked like you got in a fight on your way to earth! But you were (and are) BEAUTIFUL!
• 3 weeks early and weighing in at over 9 lbs?! That ain't normal, sweetheart.
• Your blonde curls. Where did they come from?? Obviously you look nothing like your mother!
• Your beautiful blue, blue eyes.
• Thumb sucking
• Uncle Dave's wedding. You were less than a month old and you were the quietest kid at the ceremony.
• Auntie Tina's visit to meet you
• EXTENDED maternity leave! (Yeeeeehawwww!)
• Florida, Disney, and Vistana when you were 5 months old.
• FINALLY...A calm infant (We were owed this after your brother!!)
• Screaming during your bathtime
• Wanting to be like your big brother.
• Tatey Spanish!
• The look on your face when you kicked your sister in the head during your first interaction with her. You thought we were ruining your life at the time. You ended up being a wonderful big brother to your mei mei!
• I want to snuggle for "two minutes"
• "I pooped just a little bit."
• Potty training "fun"
• LOVING Grandma Dani....not loving Grandma Dani...depending on how you are feeling
• Sleeping in your big-boy bed at 18 months old! (You stayed in it all night, back in the day!)
• I'm going to sleep in my own bed "All night!" (Yeah, right!)
• Sleeping 5 deep in our queen-size bed for nights and nights on end.
• "Mama, you are my best buddy!'
• Your fixation with brushing your teeth and washing your hands...Or do you just like to play in the water??
• "I eat!" (at 2:00 in the morning from inside the pantry)
• Sparring with your father (already!)
• 3 years old...46 lbs. (WOW!)
• A bullhead ALREADY!
• "Let's go to the mall!"
• Wanting to go ANYWHERE but home.
