Charlie Dean is THREE!

Our sweet little boy is THREE! How did he get so big so fast?!

We are obsessed with this little man and his big personality! He is 100% all the time with all of his feelings (like his mom) and his constant need to go go go go GO (like his dad).

He talks so well and in sentences so he'll say things like, "Mama let's go downstairs and watch Hotel Transylvania." (His latest obsession. He loves all things Halloween!) It's crazy to hear him talking just like a kid. He's so big!!!!

He loves music and loves to sing! His favorite songs to sing are "Remember Me" from Coco while he  plays Landon's guitar and "We Will Rock You." He loves The Beatles, Queen, and Dragons (Imagine Dragons). When we're in the car listening to music and it's not loud enough he'll say, "I need it BIG Mama!"

He plays so well independently and loves any car from Cars, PJ Masks, and his Moana toys. He has such a cute imagination!! One of his favorite things to do is race his Lightening McQueen around the coffee table and he makes the best car revving noise before he starts the race and then crazily races the car around the table as fast as he can and then of course reenacts a big crash. He is very dramatic and creative and we just LOVE watching him play!

He is very opinionated and wants things done in a very specific way! If it's not done to his exact specifications, he'll definitely let you know about it, Mr. Bossy!

He has an AMAZING memory. Last summer we hiked a waterfall with my sister Ali and he brought a rock home. It sits on his shelf and he hasn't seen/held it for months and months. He saw it sitting on his shelf the other day and asked for his waterfall rock and then started talking about Ali and the bear in the cave (that's another story for another day haha). He also knows everyone's names in our families, which is saying a lot considering I have a HUGE family. The other day I asked him what mama's name is and he just casually said, "Mama is Hannah." I had NO idea he knew my name so I asked him about Dada, Pops, Papa, Nini, etc. He's just so smart!

Charlie Dean, we love you SO much! You are our joy and truly the light of our life. I don't know how we ever survived without you!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BOY!!!
