Daniel is 3!

 Last month my baby turned 3.

He enjoys the simple childhood pleasures, like olives on your fingers.

'Me' 8 to 10 years ago would totally cringe about how much cereal this kid eats.  Being kid number 5 is a lot different than being kid number 1...there are only so many battles I'm willing to engage in, so cereal it is. 

This boy is the sweetheart of the family.  Good natured and full of fun... and when he isn't, we all forgive him because he is the little guy.

He spent the first 3 years of his life sticking right by my side, but he is discovering a new level of independence... running with the big kids.

A birthday in 2020 for us means low key with immediate family... he doesn't even like cake, so we just stuck candles in something Justin picked up, and I made Daniel's favorite - cookies!

Sometimes I hear Daniel start to scream in agony and I rush towards the trampoline to see if he got hurt... but he is usually just crying because an older sibling is done jumping and he doesn't want to stop :).
