Sort of our motto around here.
3 year check up: NO shots! And, for the first time EVER, Anderson is not under 50th % in weight! Usually he hovers around 20-30, so this is pretty fun. I have no idea what the normal blood pressure of a 3 year old is supposed to be, but I am assuming that is it.
Because his pediatrician heard a heart murmur, we took A to a pediatric cardiologist for a very long EKG and Echo ultrasound. The doc was not super worried, but it is still a bit daunting walking into that office. He is "totally normal" and we just continued our quest of paying our out of pocket maximum on insurance for the year.
I am not sure that many 3 year olds have been to an ophathamologist, dermatologist and cardiologist, but we don't play games around here.
Because my sister is awesome and clearly more creative than I am, she made Lily all of these "busy bags" with random things in them...and she made us a set! Anderson loved puting these little beads on pipe cleaners while we were at dinner and I was shocked because he normally is not what we would call the "sit down" type. Proof that I love 3! Plus, I felt like it sort of doubled as vision therapy...The 2nd diaper cake that Mom & I have made-this one is a little better than our first attempt (sorry, Clare-we tried!), but it is probably the last one we will make since I don't know any more pregnant people.
"Discover the Dinosaurs" came to Knoxville and we went with Jack, of course! There was a fossil dig....
Bobble time....Daddy time...
T-Rex riding...
lots of grinning...(and a bunch of other stuff that I didn't get any really good pics of, but we did have a lot of fun!)
JPa turned 63 and we were so excited to celebrate with him! (the face painting was left over from Dr. Seuss day at bagel place...when your kid sleeps 7 total hours in a 24 hour period, you find lots of activities)
Such a good pic of 2 people that we love SO much! You will notice the "Glover" cake, which is a staple at every Glover birthday. I remember the first year it was present at my birthday and I knew I was officially in-especially since my birthday, Austin's birthday and Brandon's birthday are all in the same week, so that is a lot of cake baking!
A little hand has discovered the lighter...





love the pirate quote, is that hanging in your house somewhere?
ReplyDeleteThe pirate quote, the cabbage PATCH doll with GLASSES of course, the dino day and that last pic of him, he looks little yet so big, and the cake pic with him in the corner... too much, all of it, LOVE.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read these post I hate that I am not closer.
ReplyDeleteLove the hand with the lighter...
ReplyDeleteYay for using a busy bag!!!
The grin picture at the dinosaur thing is precious.
You have a BEAUTIFUL family! The sitting thing is a wonderful addition to the life of a three year old. Things hold their attention for like a whole 6 minutes instead of 2 minutes. IT only seems huge because it is triple the time you used to have. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cabbage patch doll. Very cute.
Love the doll and the quote. I think I might needlepoint that on a pillow for our house. Oh wait, I don't needlepoint. Okay, maybe I can print it - surely it is on pinterest somewhere! :)
ReplyDeleteAnderson is too stinking cute. Can't wait to see a pic with the new dinosaur patches!
