Three Years Old

Sometimes I can't believe that this sweet little boy has been a part of our life for over three years now.  I've probably said this at every stage but I really believe this is my favorite so far.  He is so smart, funny and strong willed which makes for cute conversations, a lot of laughs and enough challenge to help me remember he has a mind of his own!  Today I picked him up early from my parents for his three year wellness check with the pediatrician.  On the way he said "I had a good day", so of course I asked what made it so good, he said "Inny and Pop-Pop".  I feel truly blessed that he gets to spend his days with people that love him so much.

He is 38.6 lbs. and 39 3/4 inches tall.  He has his blood pressure taken for the first time today (it was 96/62), which the nurse told him would be a hug on his arm!  He was asked to wear a little gown, which he asked to have taken off after a short time because it was bugging him.  We had a medical student come in first and he asked a lot of questions.  He asked what his name was and he said "Zackary LaRue", which surprised me because usually when I try to get him to say his last name he says "no, just Zackary".  During the exam he "tooted" when the student was checking his belly and the student was caught off guard a bit and stepped backwards and Zackary laughed and said "I scared you"!  The doctor simply said "little boys"!! 

I have so many pictures to share and things to talk about that I'll get to eventually but we are having a great summer!  The other big news of the week is that Zackary is working on potty training and he is doing an awesome job!

He loves to ride his tricycle.
