Happy 3rd Birthday Nolan Henson!!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my adorable, silly, funny, stubborn baby boy!!  I cannot believe I have a 3 year old child.  It really hit home last night how grown up Nolan is becoming.  Bill and I were sitting at the dining room table talking to Nolan in full conversation about different subjects.  It's amazing how smart he is and how much he understands!

This morning Nolan awoke to a personalized home-made pancake, courtesy of daddy!!  Daddy was thinking of Carter and myself too because we had a stack of flapjacks awaiting our forks.

After our pancakes were devoured, Nolan and I went to have his 3 year pictures taken.  Papa and Aunt KK came down to watch Carter, so Nolan and I could spend a few hours hanging out just the two of us together after his pictures were taken.  Nolan's pictures went good and Nolan chose to go to the Children's Museum.  Nolan loved playing with all of the different stations!  Nolan was a fireman, banker, and post master all in one day!

Nolan really liked building with the magnet tiles and slapping the sandals on the different pipes to make music.  Nolan even busted out his beat boxing skills, while slapping the sandals on the pipes.

Nolan worked up quite an appetite from all of the playtime he had.  Papa, Aunt KK, and Carter took us out to eat for lunch at Bread Co.

Nolan is independent more than ever now.  He wants to do everything himself.  Every night we read books before bedtime.  After I've read three books to Nolan, he rereads the books to me.  I'm sure most of it is from memory, but it's neat to see how excited Nolan is because he is "reading."  Nolan really enjoys singing too!  He is just like me.  I sing even though I don't know all of the words. ;)

Nolan is very stubborn, like his daddy, but has the kindest heart!  Nolan is growing into an amazing little boy and I know he's going to do big things in the future!

Happy 3rd Birthday Poot!!  I love you very much.
