Happy Birthday Roman!

Dear Roman! You bring us so much joy! Did you know I wanted you to be born on Valentines day? However, there was no room at the Inn (hospital), so we had to wait until the next day. However, after getting me checked in they realized that you were a cardiac baby, so they told me to get some sleep because they didn't have any cardiologist on call at the hospital that late at night, so you were born on the 16th. You sure gave us a scare with your 12 day NICU visit. We almost thought you might not make it, but finally you decided it was time to come home and meet your brothers. I can't help but smile when I look at you because you are always so happy. I do even mind that you know what you want and don't back down. I am glad. I think this will get you a long way. You are such a good friend to all you meet. You still don't like to get your hair wet, you love strawberry milk, and chicken nuggets. You love to be outside and can walk the whole 1 mile trail at the park. You have no problem standing up to your brothers and for the most part they let you have your own way. Over most toys, you love to paint and play playdough. While at one point this year we thought you might need speech therapy, we can't get you to stop talking. You kind of skipped the individual words for full sentences. The other day you surprised me with telling me about something that happened at Halloween. We love you! While we are sad to see you grow up we can't wait to see what the next year will bring us.
Love, Mommy and Papa

Hip Hip Hooray!

You are 3!
