Happy Birthday Merrick

I cannot believe my baby is three years old! His birthday was Thursday {July 7th} and he had a great day going to Central Park, eating ice cream and then having cupcakes to celebrate! Time really does fly by. I remember the day I had him, driving to the hospital, shaking when they told me he would be here in an hour, holding him for the first time and feeling instant love for a tiny little baby. He has grown into quite the charmer and has the cutest little smile. His personality is so funny. I love that I get to spend my days with him laughing and doing our favorite things. He is into all things boy...baseball, scooter rides, trains, tractors, water and sand, junk food, kissing girls and loving his momma! He has finally figured out the art of staying up a little longer by asking for water, stories and songs. He loves to act like he is calling his cousins on the phone. It goes like this..."Hi Tousins. What are you doing? Ok. Bye." He is the only one allowed to push the elevator buttons and has to wait for all of us to be there. He likes to climb into our bed during the night and cuddle. He will always let you kiss his cheek. His favorite part of the week is waking up Sunday morning and finding out its the day to go to nursery with his friends. He probably has more friends than I do :) I love this little boy and am so amazed at how much he has grown and brought our family together!
