Big Boy Hyrum!Hyrum is 3 years old today! I love this little guy. Just in the past few weeks he seems to have been out growing the terrible two stage and has become my sweet boy again (for the most part)

This is Hyrum sometime within the first month or so after he was born
After his first birthday cake
Turning 2
This year we went up to the Detroit Auto Show, and we decided we would do it for Hyrum's birthday because he is very much into playing with cars at the moment. He loved the first 30 minutes but then wanted to go home! He was still a trooper and enjoyed sitting in the driver's seat of as many cars as we would let him sit in.


Doesn't Jeremy look at home in this orange Viper?


Per Hyrum's request, this is my very sad attempt at a happy spider cake...with only 6 short legs
He has yet to actually taste the cake part but he has definitely had his fill of the "chlocklate" frosting-that's my boy!
According to tradition we went out to eat at Red Robin for a free meal, icecream sundae, balloon and Happy Birthday serenade by the employees. I think Hyrum was a bit embarrassed by the attention.
I love how he always wants to give his brother a hug and a kiss and is always asking 'Where is that little baby Mommy?' if he can't see Hunter or if he thinks Hunter is being funny 'What's that little baby doing?!'

I love how he is always telling me 'Good job Mommy' for all sorts of things

I love his curiosity and questions about everything

I love how he thinks it's so funny when he rhymes words, for instance he calls Hunter 'Hunter-Bunter Boy' and he is 'Hyrum Byrum'

I love how we will hear him giggling in his room before he falls asleep and I've never been able to figure out why

I love that he loves to tell us jokes and stories (sometimes they are very long ones)

I love how fun it is to tickle him and I adore his laugh

We love you Hyrum! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Hyrum! I'm glad you guys are well in time for b-day celebrating. I'm jealous if Hyrum's "sweet boy" stage is back at 3. However, I wouldn't be surprised, Hyrum does sound like he is a super, fantastic sweet boy!
