Our Little Cowboy is Turning Three!

It's hard to believe it's almost been three years since we brought our bundle of joy home from the hospital after ten days of praying, hoping and waiting for him to be healthy. Instantly we were in love! From making it through Aydon's days in the hospital, or of constant spewing, to his giggling and laughter, and his rambunctious all-boy spirit, every moment with our little man has been a blessing!

This year we are celebrating Aydon's three years of life with a cowboy carnival at Grammie and Papa's saloon! We are so excited to reminisce with friends and family, as well as to look forward to the beautiful times to come in our precious son's life together. Aydon enjoyed dressing up as a cowboy and having his picture taken for his invites, especially being able to carry around a BB gun!

Aydon has brought a new chapter to our lives. He has been a "mind maker-upper" from the time he could let us know what he wants and how he wants it. He loves trucks, cars, and especially horses. He loves his sister and oftentimes wants her by his side. Although, those moments can change on a dime. :) He adores his cousin, Antonio, who he refers to as "No-no" and requests to visit him often. He has always been way above the traditional growth charts, and continues to take after his Daddy, wearing a 4T in clothing and a size 10 in shoes! He loves the outdoors and playing with Sadie, Gizmo and Bella. He is potty trained, can dress himself, and even put on his shoes. Unlike his Sissy, who took forever to get rid of the "baby cups," he can drink from a big boy cup all by himself. Although he is notorious for making messes with pretty much anything he touches, he insists on doing it all himself! His vocabulary is amazing and he can count to at least 10 and sing his ABC's. He melts our hearts with all that he is, all that he can do and all that he'll ever be!

The thought of his turning three leaves me in disbelief and a hint of sadness, but my excitement, awe and wonder for what is to come overwhelms all those feelings! My baby boy is growing up and he has the world awaiting him!
