Happy Birthday Barrett!!!


I can hardly believe that my baby has just turned three years old.  It has gone by so fast, but he has grown and changed so much already.  Since his birthday fell on a Thursday this year which is a piano lesson and swim lesson day we didn't do much to celebrate on his actual birthday.  He got to play with his cousin Nathan at his house in Salt Lake while Grandma babysat.  After the girls got home from school we took him to pick out a Cars mylar balloon.  After his swim lesson and a shower he got to open up his presents from Justin and me.  We planned a family party for Sunday which will be featured in my next post.  He had a much better birthday than last year when he came down with strep throat.  It was the sickest he has ever been and his glands were so swollen and his throat so sore that he couldn't even swallow his own saliva.  We are happy to have him in better health this year.

He was a tiny little guy at first.


He has always loved a bath.


With his sisters on his blessing day.
  

With his fangs, shortly before his first birthday.
(His eye teeth came in before his incisors on the top
 so we called him our baby vampire.)


On his second birthday.


The very next day with his glands all 
swollen from having strep throat.
He doesn't even look like the same boy!

Have you ever seen a more pitiful face?


Opening his presents after his swim lesson.


Brynne, Barrett and Blythe.
