three years old.

on monday, june 24 at 3:41 pm Bentley Von Kliewer turned three years old.
three?
three!
the day was extremely bittersweet.
birthdays are awesome (that was the sweet)!
but my boy keeps getting older(that was the slightly bitter).

but i love seeing his personality shine through! so i suppose the natural age progression is a good thing. a few weeks before his birthday we were talking about him getting older, i said i just can't believe you will be three, what happened to my tiny baby?! he cried. and then declared he would be turning two. "i can be two & then two, mom!" ooops. so we made a pretty big deal about how much we needed a three year old. and so far he has been enjoying it.

His smiles are so cute in that chair. You can see he has a little tease in him.(Just joking)I love when he does that. Thanks so much for the party. It was fun.
