My Birthday Boys!

Dean turned 3 years old on Friday and Ellis turned one today so I guess I better get my traditional birthday blog done. I now have a 3, 2, and 1 year old so finding time to do this was a little tricky. I am so grateful to be the mother of these awesome little men!

Deans turn: Here is your photo trip through the past year so you can appreciate them growing up right before my eyes-

Dean LOVES trains right now. He got a set for his birthday and Nana and I made him a train birthday cake and he was in heaven. He will spend hours watching that thing go round and round and has a melt down any time it falls off or one of his brothers messes it up. He will be getting out of church nursery and moving up to Sunbeams come January and I am still in denial that he is big enough to be there. He has started saying prayers by himself lately and they melt my heart. He loves music and sings and dances along to his favorite songs every day. Since he was very little he has liked things in straight lines and little has changed as he has gotten older. He is over all a really mellow kid but when things don't line up or behave properly it really gets under his skin. He can identify most of his letters and counts up to "eleven, twelve, fourteen, five-teen....".

Eli's turn: This little man is my sunshine everyday. He has recently learned how to walk but doesn't make it very far most times because he is laughing so hard. He is learning lots of words and mimicking lots of sounds but so far I recognize "No, bye-bye, Mama, ah-oh, ball, Dada, Nana, and more." He has 7 teeth and loves to play peek-a-boo and snuggle with his cow blanket. He adores his brothers and can hold his own really well if they decide to pick on him. Over all, he is just super cute!

Isaac has had a very hard time being the odd man out with the others having birthdays so I better not leave him out of this too. Here are a couple pics:

He is doing great with his potty training and loves to be going places and doing things. He talks non-stop and amazes me with the new language he comes up with on a daily basis. Full sentences including detailed directions on how I should do things and compelling arguments on why I should not make him do things are regulars out of his cute little mouth. He is a wiz at anything electronic and can teach me a thing or two about my phone, tab and computer.
