My Baby is Three

Carter is three years old. He had our traditional number pancake for breakfast. True to his nature he wouldn't let me take a picture of the pancake with the three going the right way. I made Carter a chocolate tool cake. I piped chocolate into tool shapes, which tasted much better than brown frosting. Carter was so excited to blow out his candles. After Nick, Trey, Blake, and Sydney's birthdays all in the past couple months, Carter knew exactly what to do.
It was a family party that included cousins. When there are six kids, it feels like a party, so I didn't feel the need to invite anymore kids. Carter got a lot of tools for his birthday. We also got him a scooter but instead of riding it, he grabbed a tool and began fixing it.
A little something about Carter:
  • He loves tools
  • Can swim without floaties
  • Is potty trained but prefers to pee in the grass.
  • Is almost 25 lbs., which puts him in the first percentile for weight.
  • Loves to read about trucks, trains, and machines.
  • Growls a lot!
  • Drinks chocolate milk all the time.
  • Likes to play with Gavin, Renée, and Jinx.
  • Loves when Daddy comes home.
  • Sleeps in almost every day.
  • He still sleeps in a crib and sleeps in almost every day until at least 8am.
  • Loves his blanket, Night-Night. He won't even let us put other blankets in his crib with him.
  • Still takes a nap most days if we aren't running errands.
  • Can be as sweet as can be when he wants to.
