Jack is 3 years old!

Of course I’m a little late posting this but Jack turned 3 years old on March 18th!

The stats:

Weight: 27 lbs
Height: 35 3/4 inches
Binky: not any more!
Diapers: yes, they are still around
Favorite color: orange
Favorite show: Curious George
Favorite toy: any type of car
Favorite comfort item: a yard of dress lining fabric in white
Favorite candy: chocolate (always said in a whisper – I wish I could record it cuz it is soooo cute)

Some of our favorite things: how he says I love you.  How he gently touches and kisses Tommy.  How he says thank you or no thank you or your welcome – even for other people who have forgotten their manners.  How he wants to cuddle with mommy and only mommy sometimes.  How he jumps up and down when he gets excited as though he just can’t control it.  How he picks up on some of our phrases: that’s cool, dude and how awesome, etc.

Jack is becoming so independent!  He wants to dress himself, brush his own teeth, pour his own drinks, cut his own food, put in the movie by himself, turn on the Wii by himself, take pictures with my camera even though he has his own… you name it, he wants to do it by himself. 

Taking a trip through memory lane, we find it incredible that we’ve been parents for three whole years.  I know, that sounds pathetic to most.  But it seems like yesterday that we were looking at this:

or even this:

 

But look how old he is looking now-a-days!

 

Anyway, we digress…

We celebrated his birthday practically all month long and it was so fun to see that so many people love our little gus as much as we do.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped make his 3rd birthday so memorable!!
