On May 9 our little guy turned three! How time flies. He is really growing and maturing.
We started the celebration on the day of his birthday as a family with a few gifts. This year his big gift was a balance bike.
The next day Abram got to have a birthday party for the first time. It was fun to see many relatives and give him a special day.
Abram requested a bulldozer birthday. So all of the kids got construction hats, and we had a bulldozer cake. The weather was perfect, so after the celebration we spent time outside.
As usual, everyone was very generous with gifts. Abram is putting all of his presents to good use.
Abram had his three-year check up a couple weeks ago. He now weighs 30 lbs. (25th - 50th%) and is 37" tall (25th - 50th%).
Abram is learning and growing so much since he has turned three. He recently decided he was ready to use the potty. So far it's going very well. He stays dry most of the time and is thoroughly enjoying being in underwear instead of diapers.
He is also taking much more interest in learning letters and numbers. Wherever we go he points out every "A for Abram" and "D for Daddy" he sees. He really enjoys coloring too.
Of course Abram loves to play with his big sister. They are best buddies and are so imaginative together. I often hear them going camping, visiting the farm, going to school or just exploring around the house. He sure is going to miss Rebecca when she is in school all day.
Abram's next big event will be moving into Rebecca's bedroom. We decided to wait until Rebecca was done with school for the year. Now we just have to wait for his bed rail to arrive. I'm sure the kids will love the change. I'm not so sure about Mommy and Daddy. Hopefully they get some sleep.
Abram is very excited to be a big brother soon. He finally got to feel some big kicks from the baby. He asks all the time when the baby is coming out so he can snuggle with it. He is going to be a great helper.
We are so proud of our little guy. He is growing and maturing. Abram is the snuggliest, silliest and most caring boy we know. He loves deeply and is so fun to be around. We praise God for our second miracle.
