"T" turns 3

Time flies! 3 years ago today I became a mom. My baby has grown too fast! This was our first photo together. He was just a minute or two old.
This is my "T' today.
(this is the most recent photo, but its not too good) He is huge! He has grown into such a sweet, smart, happy little boy. Here are a few things that I love about Ty:

If I am hurt, he always kisses me better.
He love music and loves to sing. When he is in his room for naptime, he sings at the top of his lungs until he falls asleep.
He is a motor mouth. He is always talking and asking why?
He loves to ride horses with daddy.

He loves to go on walks and hikes and loves to explore and hide and scare daddy with me.
He calls a motorcycle a "Cydermichael."
He says the sweetest prayers and always wants to say the prayer.
He is ALWAYS smiling!

He likes to "cuddle up."
He loves apples and can eat a whole one in one sitting.
He loves vanilla ice cream from "nielsen's."
He loves to read. He is very polite and says please, thank you, your welcome, and I sure can most of the time. ;)
He says he wants to tell me a secret, and then gives me lots of kisses, and then says, "that's daddy's secret."
He loves to help me make dinner. He loves his baby brother, but hasn't quite learned how to share.
He always holds Cody's hand when we go for a walk.
He loves his Book of Mormon stories and can recite the story of Abinadi.
He doesn't like movies, but he LOVES Blues Clues and carrying around his "handy dandy notebook."
He has an incredible memory and will tell me about things that he remembers from over a year ago.
He loves stamps and gives everybody one on each hand every day.

Those are just a few. He is and has been such a fun boy to raise. I'm just sad it is going by so fast. For his birthday he has asked for a new stamp, a walking train whistle, and bubbles. So far he has gone pretty easy on us. Happy Birthday Ty! We love you!
