Happy 3rd Birthday John Henry!

Three years ago, this little guy was born!
He has had a couple of celebrations already:) We gathered all of our family together a couple of weeks ago to celebrate both of the boys' birthdays. Here is a shot of some of the decorations...
We had a few special guests. One of them was Liam--one of the newest members of the family:)
 And Uncle Gabe & Addison...it was such a good picture, I had to share it!
Here is a picture of the happy birthday boy opening a gift...
And...one of the favorite gifts for both boys...Socker Boppers (no idea if I am even spelling correctly)...basically, all you need to know is that they are inflatable boxing gloves that they go to town beating each other with! 
The next celebration was a Sprinkle Party at a local cupcake shop.  Here is a before pictures with Kenny's cupcake:)
And a shot of each one of the boys, decorating their cupcakes...

John's finished cupcake...
And it's time to dig in!

 Y-U-M-M-Y!!!
As far as John's actual birthday goes...we've spent time at home together. The day started off with the traditional birthday donuts. We've played with our new toys too:)

I can't believe how quickly the last 3 years has gone by. I remember them going by fast with Kenny, but they seem to be even faster with John! He really has grown from a toddler into a little boy in the last few months! I'm happy to report that he is just about potty trained!

Other things he is up to lately...
--He loves anything & everything about animals. One of his favorite toys right now is his Little People Zoo!
--John has a huge imagination. Just the other day...he was playing with the Scooby-Doo van. Inside the van, a penguin was driving around a tiger.  He also loves to play with his puppets...putting on a show just for himself:)
--He can count to 20, say his ABCs, knows all of his colors.

Both boys will be going in for their annual check-ups in a few weeks, so I'll be reporting back on how that went soon!
