"Happy Dirpy to Ian"

Today is Ian's 3rd birthday
(around here, otherwise known as a "dirpy")

I'm having a hard time believing that my baby is 3.
Oh, I shouldn't call him a "baby".
After all, babies wear diapers and Ian wears "unnerwears".
Babies sleep in cribs and Ian sleeps in "my own  bed"
(even though he'd much prefer to sleep in Mommy's own bed).
Babies can only coo and cry, and Ian has SO MUCH TO SAY!

We are blessed!

Here is a never-before-seen baby picture of Ian
(we didn't even see this 'til we picked him up in Vietnam):

And here he is yesterday - checking out his "dirpy cake":


Can you see why he's my favorite boy?!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IAN!
WE LOVE YOU!
