Happy Birthday!! Gunner turns 3!

 Lucky Gunner, got to drive home for 7 hours on his birthday. It was a pretty good day, especially because it started off with Nanny making him some breakfast in bed.

 I know he is a little "nakie" in this picture, but I loved the surprised look on Gunner's face. He was getting ready to get into jammies but I knew he had pajamas to open for his birthday.

 Cute "woody" sporting his jammies. He also got a woody doll with a pull string that I miraculously found on craigslist (along with a big buzz and an RC).

And... the birthday cake. Gunner was on a big kick about wanting a monkey cake. It wasn't very pretty, but it passed for a monkey and we called it good.

My 3 favorite things about Gunner:
1) He is really polite and says thank you. He also repeats things back to me. If I say, "Gunner, you are a really special boy", he'll say, "Thanks mom, you're really special too." I love it.
2) He is getting to a great stage for learning and soaking up information. I'm getting a lot of questions and talks almost daily about how he will be going to pre-school next year.
3) He loves to tease his sisters. The other day I asked him to share a cookie with Gracie. He split it in half and said,"who wants the big piece?" Gracie said, "I do". To which he replied, "Nope, you get the little piece." He likes to tease Maisy too, which is really cute when he isn't too rough or tormenting. He also likes to tease me in a  cute and playful way.
