Happy 3rd Birthday to our T-T, Tiny T, Till, Tillman

It doesn't seem possible that you are 3 years old. Everyone said time would fly, but I guess I didn't believe it until I'd experienced this myself. Two was OK for me, as it still sounded young, but 3 seems so old!  You have been our "test" child. Everything we do with you is a test in hopes that we get it right. You are extremely independent, strong willed, and cute as a button! 

Right up there will Elmo is all things John Deere!  Here's you and your gift from mom and dad-backhoe & front loader. This screamed TILLMAN when we saw it. Before bed each night you usually pick daddy for stories or mommy to look at the (com)"puter." When we look at the computer, you always request John Deere "stuff." Chick-Fil-A and John Deere certainly have a wonderful marketing teams, as they have gained your brand loyalty at such a young age!

Your love for tractors and all things outdoor, solidifies that your name fits you to a T (no pun intended). 

Tillman \t(i)-ll-man\ as a boy's name is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Tillman is "one who plows the earth". Occupational name. In agriculture, tilling the soil meant turning and loosening it before it was planted.

Remoting the monster truck in undies!

 In your 3rd year, you have grown a love for no clothing.  Hints the picture above. You go to bed fully clothed, and you wake up with things missing. You enjoy walking around with limited items around the house. You are something else, when it comes to clothes!  However, you do love a jacket...with a hood.  If it is 60 degrees or less, you claim it is cold and won't go outside without a jacket...that is zipped!  You are a true Southern boy (or bro as your dad would say...especially since you love a bow tie!).

Hands down your favorite gift from MiMi!

 At your 3 year old visit, you checked out just fine and growing well according to Dr. Clifford. He doesn't think you will be a basketball star (height 2%tile and weight 10%tile), but none the less you are growing and developmentally great!

Dough Nuts! Your favorite!
