Jax's 3rd Birthday

My babes is 3 today!!! It's such a bitter sweet day for this momma. Honestly it's killing me a little bit!!! But let's take a moment from a momma's grief (separate post) to brag about the boy. I am so incredibly grateful for this fun, high energy, loving, curious, crazy, sweet, sassy, naughty, tender, wild and amazing boy. It has been wondrous to grow with him this last year and I could not be more proud of the little boy he is today and continues to grow into. Love celebrating my little hooligan babes! He's my fav!

Here's a little more about of infamous hooligan babes....
*Favorite song remains Silent Night. Which we sing nightly to him. He also likes Popcorn Popping, Bunny Fu Fu, I Am Child of God, Monkeys, Sunbeams, Baby Mine and a recent addition, I'm All About the Bass (haha!)
*Loves to pick nose and pass gas. He thinks both things are HILARIOUS. His mom does not agree!
*When he asks where something or someone is, he always says, "where are we?". I won't correct him because it's stinkin cute!
*Loves music. He sings, and when he does, he tries to sing every word. He also loves to dance.
*Has more energy than I've seen in most kids.....combined. :)
*Favorite cartoons are Mickey, Curious George, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, with a side of Wally Kazaam and Paw Patrol
*Can count to ten really well and fifteen if he's really feeling it.
*Knows his alphabet but will only sing it on his term. There is no coersing him to do it. Sometimes he will sing it in the car. Sometimes he will sing it in the tub and sometimes he will sing it while brushing his teeth.
*Loves cars, airplanes, trains, motorcycles, tools and animals
*Loves treaty treats. Asks for them morning, noon, night and every time in between. His favorite treats are root beer, mike and ike's and gummy bears.
*His favorite regular foods are chicken and rice, hot dogs, tortillas, avocados, watermelon (well really most fruits).
*Loves to "play" (really he watches Jon play) Mario Cart
*Thinks it's hilarious to jumpfrom the top of his crib rail into his bed, creating the best bottom buster I have ever seen.
*Totally ready to potty train but keeps telling me know (I'm tempted to let him poop his pants till he is forty since he already has man poops)
*Outgrew his corn allergy!!! Wahoo!!! One down, 4 to go!
*Prefers to be outside always and loves the water.
*Now a cruiser on his wiggle car, ruining tons of shows and socks in the process.
*Likes to mosh pit dance with his cousins
*Thinks everything that is dark is scary
*Gets out of his crib in the morning by himself. He comes and finds me and then snuggles for 2 minutes and then is ready to start his day. We talk about what he wants to do for the day (usually go to Aunt Shauna's or go see the animals).
*Loves his people, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas, grandpas and especially mom and dad
*Now goes to nursery with a smile and is sad if he can't go
*Cannot sit still to save his life
*Still the bossiest little dude
*Loves the blow dryer
*Thinks its funny to hide in Jon's shoe pile in the garage
*Is a very coordinated little guy but sometimes looks clumsy because he is so extremely busy
*Loves to help me work in the yard or clean or cook. He is my little helper.
*Loves coins and loves to count them
*Loves presents and now asks for them daily
*Still rocks the cheeser smile as his only on command smile and even that is work because it means slowing down
*Loves his two baseball hats (Yankees and Dodgers). He gets stressed if you try and put a different hat on him. If we go somewhere, he immediately asks to wear his hat.
*Has favoite lovies (baby george, bunny (take the cake), doggy, giraffe, Mickey)
*Loves buggies (rolly pollies,  worms, grasshoppers, etc)
*Fascinated by spiders, tells flies to shoo
*Still not the biggest fam of brushing his teeth but has gotten better
*Loves to jump on the bed
*Still super ticklish and loves to tickle people as well as being tickled
*Calls me Aunt Lyss when he wants to get my attention
*Points out every digger, semi truck, pick up truck, garbage truck, animal, etc.

I'm sure there is so much more I'm forgetting! His 2 and half year post has a lot of stuff too!

(Get ready for a picture overload!!!!)
His birthday morning started with one of my favorite traditions for him. Hallway of balloons......
Then it was off to presents.....
Pretty sure we scored with the scooter present! Wahoo! Happy boy, life of joy! (well at least for 2 minutes.....squirrel)
Cars he had been wanting for a month from Costco. 
Between tools, cars, Curious George movie and a couple extra little things, we had one beyond happy  and spoiled little guy. 
My boys! :) 
All the joy of one boy! This mom's heaven :) 

After presents we headed to a cute little pumpkin patch in Riverton. Bubs was in heaven with Mater, Dusty, mini wheel barrels, tons of tractors, old trucks, corns mazes and lots and lots of pumpkins. 
After lunch and nap it was off to ice cream (well sorbet for the bubs) at Cold Stone. his fav! 
And to end the night, bubs had a glow stick bath.
Happiest birthday to our most favorite boy!!!! :)
