Happy Birthday Myles!

We celebrated Myles' 3rd birthday in Florida with family. It's hard to believe he is three! 

Myles - you are full of spunk! That red hair will probably serve you well but give us headaches :) You are walking, and you can almost run! You love to kick a ball outside with your brothers. You'll do anything to keep up with them... even if it's stand at the backdoor with your hand glued to the knob yelling and yelling and yelling for someone to notice that you want out!

You don't have any verbal words yet, but you have many signs and can almost tell us anything you need. You are just now trying to mimic some sounds. Some of your favorite signs are ice cream, ice cream, drink, and ice cream :) I'm fairly sure (and I'm not joking) that you'd eat an entire container of Breyers if we'd let you.

You finally have figured out how to crawl out of a pack-n-play. You have a love/hate relationship with Tessa... one minute you are hugging her and stroking her hair, then the next you'll pull her hair and shove her over. She's putting up a good fight when you take her toys so you better watch out!

 Many days, you have us baffled as to what you are doing or saying or wanting... you like to play tricks like pull your high chair over signing 'eat', but then the minute we reach for you to put you in it, you run as fast as you can and lay face down on the floor with your hands tucked under your tummy. This will happen several times until we chase you down. Sometimes it's cute, other times it's not :)

Your love for others and sweetness is a blessing to us always. Everywhere we go you smile and wave with your hand up by your chin. You get LOTS of compliments on your red hair and the freckles that are growing!

 We're not sure how much you understand about God yet, but you love going to church and singing and praising God with others. We sit in front of the sign language interpreter and you do signs and wave your hands around and sing without refrain. At bedtime, you always sign 'Jesus' and want to sing Jesus Loves Me.

 You are an incredibly special little man!! You are loved much!!! We look forward to the next year!
