Frankie is 3!

Frankie turned 3 in June.  What a fun three years it was!  It's hard to remember how tiny he once started out.  He's growing up so fast.  He is a sweet, tender hearted, fun-loving, curious boy, and we love him so much.  

He sang along the whole time during his birthday song.  Cute! (Notice I am getting super creative with my birthday cakes.  I can't help it.  Cupcakes are just so easy!)

Eating gluten free cupcakes with Uncle Patrick (or "Trick" as Frankie calls him).  It was so fun to have him and Grandma and Grandpa at our party.  

Frankie is always pretending to be a tiger with Grandpa Orton, so I thought a tiger mask would be a perfect present.  He loved it!

About Frankie:
Favorite TV show: Curious George
The things he's best at: Making his Mom feel happy, being silly, taking things apart, dancing (the kid's got rhythm!), taking naps (seriously, I am so happy he still naps!), and lots more.  He's a smart boy!
If he could change his name: He wouldn't.  He recently learned how to say his name, and it's so cute- "Faykee"
His favorite color is: blue or maybe red (totally guessing)
Favorite toy is: anything that's not actually a toy or doesn't belong to him.  Although, he does enjoy playing with his train now and then
When he grows he wants to be: Hmm...therapist.  He is always so sweet if Mom is sad.  Or engineer because he seems to have an interest in how things work because he is always taking poor Clara's toys apart.
He likes to take these to bed at night: blanket ("baket"), a car (It can be any car but preferably either his motorcycle, a car from Clara at Christmas that plays gangster music or a school bus.  It used to be a whole handful, but now we can keep it down to 1 or 2), his robot that Noah helped me make for Christmas a couple years ago
Favorite book is: How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?
Favorite movie is: He loves movies so much, so this hard...a couple of weeks ago all he wanted was Wallace and Grommit: The Case of the Ware-Rabbit, which I thought was funny that he'd take such a liking to it.
A food he really likes is: milk.  He'd live on that alone if I let him.  He does really like fruit, though...and toast.
Favorite animal is: dog
Best friend is: big brother Noah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

TO OUR BABY JOEL FRANKIE!
