Caleb, KK, Cakers, Yoda.. Happy 3rd Birthday!! My sweet little Firecracker born on the 4th of July.
My life changed the day you were born, and there's no going back. I'm officially smitten with you. You've taught me so much, well beyond your allotted offering in your 3 short years. You love to laugh and to cry and very little in between. Everything about you is big, except your stature. You certainly make your presence known when you walk into a room (especially Sacrament meeting). 
Everybody who knows you loves you. In fact, you had a Caleb Fan club by the time you were walking. You have charisma and charm. You are witty and clever. You're smarter than I often give you credit for, and where you lack knowledge, you make up for with persistence and effort.
You have such a zeal and zest for life. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and you're not afraid to show it. You are persistent, stubborn, and downright difficult sometimes. At the same time, you love with your whole heart, you are kind and generous, sensitive and independent.
You are adventurous and live with vigor and without fear. You are a fast learner and there is no end to your curiosity. You have a thirst for knowledge well beyond your years. 
You've had a special love and admiration for your big brother since the day you were born. Perhaps you decided in the life before this to come to our family as brothers. The 2 of you have a bond that's eternal and love that's everlasting.
You're a momma's boy thru and thru. You still love to lay your head on my chest and suck your thumb. You have a passion for climbing and high places - often much higher than is of comfort to your mother. You care only for your own opinion of yourself, never that of others. You've always had your own secret agenda, and only the lucky ones are invited into your circle of trust. 
Your beautiful baby blues can melt my heart and curdle my blood within the same moment. Your emotions are unpredictable, and yet so sincere and true, there is never a moment that I wonder how you're feeling.
What a blessing it is to be your mommy. I love you to the moon and back again.
6 love notes:
Love the little Lucas post. So sweet. He will always have a little part of you with him - even if he doesn't know it.
Gotta love Caleb. Those pictures are so precious - love the one of him with the scarf. Happy #3 Bud.
Good job, Steph. We are with you.
Happy Birthday Caleb!!! You put some of my all time favorite pics on here and some I had never seen. (like the pants on his head, hillarious) Thanks for letting me come see you guys before I leave, hopefully the little firecracker will hold still for a minute so I can give him a birthday hug then. My thoughts and prayers are with you today on two special little boys birthday. Love you!!!
Happy Birthday Caleb. We miss that little guy's loving tackles!!! Hope you and the boys have fun celebrating birthdays today.
CALEB!!!!! Happy Birthday!!!! I so wish I could see him more often (and the rest of you guys!!) I have always said he is seriously one of the CUTEST boys!!! I hope you all are doing well, I sure miss you all!!!!
That is the sweetest most honest and loving message to your boy ever. He is a lucky little one to have you as a mommy.
This is such a great post... I heard you can turn your blog into a book pretty easily, you should for your boys because you write such beautiful things to them! And Caleb IS definitely a little FIRECRACKER, what a perfect b-day for this busy little sweetheart. Hope all is well!!
