Chase Parker Turns THREE!!!

Chase Parker celebrated his birthday on July 25th.  I can't believe my baby turned THREE years old!  We celebrated his birthday about a week early this year because Zachary and I were going to be out of town on his big day.  That made me very sad but I was glad that he was home with his Daddy to enjoy his ACTUAL day.  Zach and I headed to Tennessee for Kelsey's wedding but we called him on his birthday and sang to him.

He did have a big time at his family birthday party on July 14th.  He loved all the attention for sure!



















He has grown up SO much over the past year.  This time last year he wasn't saying much. . . BOY has that changed.  He says every word in the dictionary now it seems.  Such a vocabulary!  He is a typical boy - always testing my limits.  But, he has the most loving personality.  VERY VERY lovable.  He will come up to me and say, "Momma, I haven't gotten a kiss from you in awhile!  Let me give you a kiss!"  He wraps his little arms around me constantly.  I love love love how affectionate he is.

He is still infatuated with heads/hair.  His favorite thing to do is run his hands through our hair.  So hilarious.  He's into riding his plasma and tricycle big time still.  I think he's definitely ready for a bike this Christmas.  Following in his brother's footsteps, he loves loves loves trains big time.  Of course he goes on all the train adventures with Papa and Grammy now and has a blast.

He is doing so well in school too!  He goes three days a week and apparently is very well behaved.  ;)  How do they do that at school lol????

It hit me the other day that I will probably only have one more year of "babyhood".  He's still small, he's still overly affectionate, and he still loves and adores us more than anything.  That won't last long.  He's my last one ya'll!  That made me sad.  (But not sad enough to have another one!)

I recently did a "professional" photoshoot with him.  He was PERFECT for me!!  You can see his full shoot here on my business site:  http://elizabethbirdwell.com/my-big-man-turns-three/

Here are a couple of my favorites from the shoot:





I love my little dude so much - so proud of him!!
