Hyrum, today you are FOUR! Each time someone has called to wish you a happy birthday today you have been sure to say, "Yeah, I'm four now!" It's the cutest. It seems like just yesterday I was at the ultrasound clinic receiving the news that you were a BOY. We had secretly found out your gender and kept it a secret the whole time so we could surprise everyone else. As soon as I found out, I went out and bought some blue yarn and started a baby blanket just for you.
The day I went into labor we were enjoying beautiful Spring weather. I spent the morning cleaning and getting our home ready to welcome you. Before your arrival I made sure to do up a batch of bread and froze a few loaves to enjoy in the coming weeks. Because I was waiting on the bread to come out of the oven, we ended up driving to the hospital in rush hour traffic! We dropped your sister off at your great-grandparent's and made it quickly to the hospital. It was a quick delivery. You came out sunny-side up and didn't stop crying until I pressed your little cheek next to mine. You were the very first baby I was able to snuggle seconds after welcoming you into the world.
You have always been calm and content. You started sleeping through the night sooner than anyone else and I sure enjoyed the extra rest. You have always been such a sweetheart and such a perfect addition to our family. I couldn't believe how fast time went by when you were a baby!
It still seems crazy to me that you are already four! I have loved rocking you in my arms, feeding you at all hours of the night, and snuggling you to sleep in your big boy bed. You love affection and touch and are always the kid to climb onto my lap for a snuggle and some extra loves. Sometimes I forget how important those hugs and snuggles are to you, but you always remind me.
I can truly say that these last four years have been a joy! You were quite the mischievous little two year old (peanut oil all over the kitchen floor, toothpaste in the laptop bag..) but always kept me laughing! You have such a sweet spirit and desire to do right and please your Heavenly Father. You have always been an obedient child and your love for life is contagious! I love watching you help your little brothers and be a good example for them. The other day I watched out the window as you climbed up on the trampoline and then turned around to offer your little brother a hand up. It made me smile and filled my heart with joy.
Thanks for being such a special boy! You are loved very much, Hyrum! Happy fourth birthday!!
Love, Mom
