our 3 year old

well, not until the 21st but....

ok, i am getting really sentimental here lately. hormones, whatever.....but the thought of luke turning 3 is really depressing me. i know, he's healthy and so much fun, but where has the time gone? i was looking at some old pictures yesterday and just bo-hooed! i feel like i should be pregnant with luke rather than him turning 3 and us fixing to have another baby. i remember my parents always saying that time flies by quicker as you age...boy, they are so right! it seems as if it were yesterday i was holding him in my arms at the hospital.

he is so much fun now (not that he wasn't at a much younger age...but you moms know what i mean!). here are just a few things luke does...

1. potties "ALL BY MYSELF"...and i do mean "ALL BY MYSELF"

2. still sleeps all night....IN HIS BED! he has only slept all night with me and cory 3 or 4 times...and most of that was on vacation! he loves HIS bed

3. takes awesome naps

4. carries on very intellegent conversations...at least we think so!

5. can ride his bicycle with training wheels

6. loves his playroom, especially his monster trucks. he probably has about 50 of them!

7. hangs on to ni-ne and teddy bear like they are his lifeline

8. some of his fave foods include spaghetti o's (with meatballs), mac and cheese, chocolate milk, lucky charms cereal and oatsies....

9. loves taking a bath in the "big tub"

10. is a total cuddle bug in the mornings and after naptime

11. his daddy and superman are his heros!

12. loves his john deere gator

13. starting to tattle-tell....on me and cory! if one says "no" he runs to the other and tattles!

14. is an outside boy! any chance he gets...he's outside!

15. he runs.....everywhere!!

i know, i know, i could go on and on. as a parent, i guess it's normal to think how awesome your own child is. cory and i just love this little boy so much, his smile, his laugh, everything... and we thank God so much for sending luke to us. can't imagine life without our little luke! so, happy 3rd birthday, luke. we love you so much and can't wait to see what the future holds for you!
