Happy 3rd birthday Sweet james

  Wow, my baby is 3!! It is so hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that his infant and toddler years are gone and he is now an actual kid.*insert tears,lots of them* I even looked up toddler online the day before his bday wondering if I could get by with one more year of thinking of him as a toddler. Leave it to google to smash that thought down with a hammer. Nope it's confirmed, he's a kid a little boy now, a 3 year old! And what a sweet joy he has been in our lives for the past 3 years. This pic was on my timehop app yesterday. Oh my goodness how little and adorable is he. I remember sitting there watching him and snapping this pic like it was yesterday. In awe of my perfect brand new baby boy. He would smile and giggle like that in his sleep really young. He was only like a week old here. "So beyond blessed" is the only words that come to mind!

Then and now: yep this is a pretty typical james face. He's totally bummed because I told him he could eat his crayons any more.
**
**
These two LOVE each other and I LOVE that!! Best buds.

This is james on his bday enjoying his birthday doughnuts daddy picked up!

He also got a new (to us;) loader and boy is that a hit! He loves pushing all his toys, and his sister, around with the bucket.

On his actual bday we went out to tanners again with all james people. Aka both grandmas, his aunts and cousins. That was definitely a hit in his book. He kept telling me he was just so happy! Added bonus we also got to see his aunt Paula and cousin Noah by surprise!:)

At lunch time we went to see daddy and then came home for late naps. Then that evening james choose to go swimming! Him and his sissie LOVE to swim!
