Colton turns 3!!

Colton David turned three years old on May 13. He promptly woke up at 7:00 am and saw all of his gifts waiting for him downstairs. After running into our bedroom and waking us up, we all went downstairs so that he could open up his presents.

Big smile just before tearing into his presents.

Colton is into cars and trains right now. He received several car and track sets from us and his grandparents.

Getting excitedly opening another gift.

Hanging out with mommy on the patio. We had a good talk about what he likes and how big he is getting. What a cutie!

We decided that because we have two kids birthdays in the same month, that we would rotate birthday parties. This is Colton's off year. We celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese (his favorite place right now) and coming home to eat some cake. It was nice and quiet and we were able to spend a lot of one-on-one time with him.

3 Years Old! Stats

Height: 40 3/4 inches (95% and up)

Weight: 41.5 lbs. (95% and up)

Eating: Colton mainly likes hot dogs, nachos, quesadillas, mac n cheese, pasta, chicken nuggets, noodles and cheeseburgers. He will eat any type of fruit put in front of him and loves sweets. Cupcakes are especially a favorite, along with ice cream.

Size: Colton is wearing mostly 5/5T clothing with some shorts in 4T. Our pediatrician stated that Colton was the size of a six year old girl!!! Meaning that his height and weight at three years old is the same as a six year old girl. That blew me away! Eric is 6' 3" and I'm 5' 11" so I knew that we would have some tall children, but that's a little insane!

Teeth: All teeth are in and he visited the dentist for the first time when he was two. He returns every six months for a cleaning.

Milestones: Turning three! Learning to swim, learning to share with his sister and friends, trying to color inside the lines, learning to potty in the toilet.

Likes and Dislikes: Loves animated movies; Toy Story, Megamind, Tangled, Despicable Me, Up, Shrek. Favorite cartoons right now is Bubble Guppies and Caillou. Colton LOVES to play with his many cars and trains and to push them around on their tracks or on the floor. Colton is still a mommy's boy, but loves to wrestle with his daddy as well. He dislikes being told "no" when he gets something in his mind to do.
