THREE Years Old

Well, here we are at 3 and you change every day.  Each day brings a new challenge or frustration from all of us.  You are the funniest kid and now that you are talking more, the things you say just crack us up.  The last year went by fast and it is so crazy to look back at pictures and see how much you have changed.  The change isn't all physical though.  You are becoming a little boy.  It is crazy.

Carter at THREE years old you:

-weigh 35lbs, 4oz (80th percentile)
-are 37.5 inches tall (45th percentile)
-have no more head measuring. :)
-have a new bump, bruise or scratch everyday.
-wear pull-ups and we are gearing up to start potty training.
-are wearing 3T and some 4T clothes.
-wear size 8 shoes.
-love to sit and read your books with daddy and I.  You negotiate each night before bed how many we should read.  It is hard not to let you pick as many as you would like.
-are talking a lot now.
-have a definite independence streak going on right now.  It causes a lot of frustration on both sides.  :)
-still have your lion and blanket, and don't go far without them.
-are quite the baseball player, but will play almost any sport.  You love to have someone pitch to you and hit the ball.  We can't really play in our smaller backyard anymore because you constantly hit it over the fence.
-still take after your mom and love fruit.
-have quite the personality, which is coming out more and more lately. 

...And so ends the third year of your life.  As always, we love you and can't imagine life without you!

And, just for comparison sake, year one and year two.  CRAZY!
