Croc Hunter's Baby Turns Three

Little Bob Irwin had a birthday to remember. Bob, made famous by a close call with a crocodile when he was a few months old, was all smiles as family, friends and fans gathered to celebrate.
The Irwin Family
The son of the late Crocodile Hunter celebrated his third birthday yesterday, his first without daddy. The party, which included rides, face painting and games, was held at Australia Zoo -- where entry was free for children all day.

Little Bob was joined by big sister Bindi and mom Terri as he blew out the candles on a giant Thomas the Tank Engine cake, while a crowd of thousands sang Happy Birthday to the khaki-clad tot.

Steve Irwin was killed when a stingray barb pierced his heart near the Great Barrier Reef on September 4.

2. Happy birthday little one. I am sure your daddy is in your heart and allowed his breath to pass through your lips as you blew your candles out. Having lost both of my parents closely together, I quickly learned that they never leave your soul. For this I am grateful.

6. That boy had no more of a close call with death, than any family onwing a dog as big as a German Shepard. Look after your big sis, little man.
