Happy Birthday May May.

It's been three years today
When we first met our May,
You made our family more complete.
You were such a delight
From our very first sight
Of your long lizard tongue and square feet.

It was in Iowa during the fall

But you weren't dreary at all
And so we named you "May,"
You were a sunny baby
Only gloomy sometimes, maybe.
We named you perfectly that day.

You had a small tiny head,
Covered in a soft fuzz of red
But soon it grew nice, large and round.

A skinny newborn you were
But plumped up nicely for sure.
Within weeks, chubby with rolls abound.

Acid reflux, torticollis and RSV

Put you through many a therapy
But it didn't slow you at all down.
You smiled and cooed
And wiggled and drooled
From the start you were such a clown.

At three months you were toted

For a week Daddy doted
And wore you in the Bjorn by the Bay.
Then we moved to the East
Where residency's a beast
You miss your Daddy all day.

You climb onto his lap
‘Round his neck, your arms wrap
You give big hugs and wet kisses.
When you're done with your mister,
You move along to your sister
Reeking havoc, creating chaos, making messes.

You've always liked men, especially your Pops
"Papa Tommy!" you squeal, he is tops.
You want to get held by random guys in the ward,
You wave and make eyes at strange dudes at the store
Within minutes, you've got them; you--they adore.
Your teen years, we don’t look toward.

We love you at three
As part of our family
We couldn’t imagine life without you.
Happy Birthday, MayMay
This is your day
These three years have simply just flew.
