Hood #8 turned three today… I can not believe three years have passed since this happy little guy arrived in our home!!! I have to say I feel a little nostalgic… My babes grow up so fast and while I am excited about them growing up and moving on, I feel a little like: “It all went so fast…” How could all that delicious baby-ness be over – for reals…
Tradition has it that on your third birthday you have your haircut…
And underneath those baby curls is a little lad… who went out for birthday breakfast…
And discovered the world of gifts!!!
And I think he may have enjoyed those candles…
Just a little…
May all your wishes come true…
To our lover of blueberries…
And painting…
To the boy who can… undo the plumbing faster than you can say plumber…
To our fiercest pirate…
To the sharer of stories…
And lover all things beach…
To the man that likes to stay up late and catch cat-naps on the couch…
To the guy who loves piles of books…
And puzzles…
And speed…
To the best little brother…
And the breaker of legs…
The extreme athlete…
The runner of races…
I just don’t know how you grew up so fast!!!
But keep on laughing…
And laughing…
And napping!!!
We love you so…

Hi, I have just realised I must have been following your blog for over 3 years!! Congrats, may the Lord bless your last Hood.
Hi Lesley… Three years is a long time to be reading a blog indeed!!! I know I have blogs that I started reading before we even began blogging and I only realise how long it has been when their tiny babies aren’t tiny babies at all anymore!!! Thanks so much for your loyalty and the birthday wishes… hope you have a fabulous week!!!
Aah the great day and the pictures have been long awaited in our house!! What a little lad under all the curls indeed! And no baby left in the house … bittersweet! I bet you do not regret any minute you held/nursed/rocked little ones! Here’s to joy in a new era!!!
Happy happy birthday blessed little man! May you continue to be such a source of delight!
Lots of love from us all!
Oh Corli… You can’t hold these little ones back they grow and grow so fast… bittersweet indeed… oh to catch that flowing hair dashing along the beach again… not to be!!! He must get on with the busy-ness of life… and boy does this little guy know about getting on and catching up with his siblings just as fast as he can!!! Hope you all have the most brilliant week!!!
he still looks adorable!!!!!! to another wonderful year, with al our love!
