Happy Half-Birthday Hyrum!!!

Hyrum wanted a cake for his half birthday so we put frosting on his brownie, it became the brownie-cake and he was in heaven!

Here are some favorites about Hyrum these days

He is getting so brave (sidenote:Hyrum is an extremely cautious kid)One of his fears has become one of his most favorite things to do-- riding his trike around in the basement or outside. He has also started to love going down poles at the park and trying out the monkey bars

This kid LOVES to talk and honestly he is a motormouth ;) and it's so cute when he really gets into what he's saying, he starts pacing in circles and up and down the room until he's done (I think he gets that from his Pa!)

If he doesn't know a word for something, it never stops him, he just makes a word up and keeps going. Also, if he doesn't understand how something works he just makes it up-his explanations make for some very entertaining conversations

He has started having imaginary friends and they are all baby animals but they're not the typical cute and cuddly types. His favorites have been spiders, scorpions, caterpillars and lions. They always play with him during his quiet time

He makes the best silly faces and loves to make us all laugh, whether it's intentional or not

He loves when I tuck him in at night and we cuddle and I sing him a lullaby

He can be running around like crazy and jumping off couches and then all of a sudden it's silent and he's picked up a book and spends the next 30 minutes looking at books. This kid has the longest attention span when it comes to books-we usually read for 1-2 hours a day

He asks questions non-stop and is so curious about everything, especially animals. All I have to say is he is going to catch up with me fast and I'll have to start studying up for the answers soon

He is a super big brother and is always giving Hunter hugs, kisses and telling him he loves him and always apologizes for the times he kicks, shoves or snatches :0) They love to chase each other around and around and around and laugh together

Hyrum has started making up songs and I love to hear his little voice singing or humming throughout the day

He loves to help clean up the house and make food with me and proudly wears his apron in the kitchen

We love you Hyrum!!!

Wow! He has a lot of the Turner traits!! I think he looks most like his Daddy, but, he sure has a lot of Turner traits too. Can't wait to see you soon.
