Brylianna is 3

We had the funnest family birthday party for Brylianna on labor day. We did a fair/carnival theme because everynight in her prayers she says grateful for when the fair was open when we went 🎠🎡🎪
It was complete with funnel cake (Pat made) , a popcorn machine , a hot dog roaster machine, hamburgers, hot dogs, games, prizes, a photo backdrop, a circus "tent" ceiling, face painting, and a 5 layer homemade merry go round cake 😃🎠 I decorated the night before til about midnight while blaring the Greatest Showman soundtrack or course 😂
We are so glad we could be close to family and cousins this year to celebrate. They made it a fun night!
For games we had sharp shooting (squirt guns), bean bag toss, pick matching floating duckies, ball toss, bust balloon dart board, and guess how many candies in some containers. Yes I counted out 470 mini chocolate chips.
One of my favorite parts was how cute Pat was in being helpful and understanding when I was staying up til midnight decorating and how he just had a great attitude about it. One of my favorite things about Pat is that he pretty much always has a good attitude and always goes out of his way to help other people. It is so fun to see him be a dad 😃 and be helped with the kids so I could take 2 hours and make Brylianna's merry go round cake 😂 love him ♥️♥️♥️
Brylianna's big present this year was a bike that we got for $5 from a neighbor's yard sale and she is so excited to learn to ride it 😃
Other than that I pretty much got Everything else from the Dollar store or made. It was awesome! I love the dollar store 🙂

You are just the cutest, smiley, sweetest boy there ever was. You love being outside, crawling up stairs and sliding down them, your binky, food, mom, dad, sister, grandma and grandpa. 😃 I love that you are snuggly. When you are tired, right before naps/bed you want to be held and then you tuck your arms by your tummy and turn your head to one side, put your binky in, and just snuggle. And most the time fall asleep while I sing to you. We usually read a book in the green chair and then sing songs by your pack n play. You still get one bottle at night before bed (about 5-6 oz) you are a champ at eating and drinking whole milk.
You point where or to what you want and go uh, uh in a cute little voice. You say ah oh when you drop stuff. You have adorable babbles. You love metal spatulas with wooden handles.  You love Grandpa Buhr. You also love mommy and daddy and pretty much everyone. You are at a mommy stage, or at least when we went to Alaska you were super clingy and cuddly and just wanted mom to hold you all the time and it was hard at times but adorable.
He loves to rapidly breath in and out and scrunch his nose up and have people do it back to him and smile. He loves going down slides on his tummy and swinging. He is walking while holding onto things, working up courage to do it by himself. He will stand for a couple seconds at a time.
I just got him and Brylianna a little play kitchen used for $20 that came with all sorts of things and a little blender and coffee pot and mixer that all use batteries and are adorable. They both love playing with it, it is so cute.
He growls at the cat. He loves cords and electronics,.and all things food or cooking.
You are so smart. I taught you a couple things and you stuck at it til you got it. Like a huge connect 4 thing on the cruise ship, I taught you how to slide the things into the slots.
You love music and do a cute little wiggle dance to it .
Says: Mama, Dada, up, wow, ta-da, oh, and growls at the car and waves bye bye. You fold your arms for prayer and when someone says amen and smile so cute.
Sometimes you put your spoon in your mouth and make a super huge grinning face and think you are so funny. You use silverware like a champ ever since our cruise.
You love music and dance and wiggle and wave eyour arms to it .
Eats: anything, such a good eater it is soo nice! You didn't like mashed potatoes at first but now you do.
We love you so much!
(I realize I went from saying he, to you but don't care enough to change it lol)

You got your first sucker at your year checkup. We waited for 2 hours at the Drs and it was during naptime. You were so good though. You had to get shots too 😥
