This time 3 years ago I was (back!) in the hospital holding my precious newborn baby Jack. Time has flown and we just marvel at what a big boy he is turning into. He is so hilarious, loving, stubborn, imaginative, active, expressive and cuddly. Some of my favorite times with him are when he crawls into bed with me at 6:15am (Daddy's already out the door to work out before work) to snuggle for a few minutes before the alarm goes off. Sweet sweet boy.
Jack is a character! A few cute things he's said during the past several weeks are: 1.) While shaking his head back and forth, "I'm going to get the song out of my head." 2.) Now that he understands stop signs and lights, he calls me out for running them and he has also said, "We don't say hate!" and "Mommy, don't say stupid!". 3.) He sounds so grown up when he says things like, "Actually, I have an idea." 4.) When in a parking lot he said "Watch out, that car will squish me like a grape!" 5.) After a long, serious explanation of something, he looked at me and said, "Does that make sentence?" 6.) While he was crying hard about me not giving him a sucker, between sobs he said, "I wanted that sucker, my heart is broken!" 7.) I asked him how he slept one morning when he woke up and he looked at me so confused, leaned over and said, "Um... like this, on my belly!" 8.) "When I eat, my food goes down my throat, into my belly, to my arms, and to my heart to feed Jesus" (because He lives there!). Isn't he the cutest thing?!!
He is getting more and more independent. Jack can completely go to the bathroom by himself now, and he can also get dressed by himself (minus button-up shirts and most shoes). He's starting to learn lots of lowercase letters and is even starting to sound words out some! The crazy thing is I don't even teach him this stuff very much, he just picks it up! He is becoming an amazing brother, very loving and helpful and protective. It's precious seeing their relationship. They make each other laugh all the time. At his 3 year appointment, he was 36" (25%) and 31 lbs (50%). Here are some pictures of my big boy over the past couple months.

Our family met at the mall and Jack tried to decide if he liked a dinosaur hat he was trying on.
Always happy to see Baby Hadley (or as Jack says "Baby Holly")
We signed Jack up for a few Tae Kwon Do classes in preparation of his birthday party at Hwang's Martial Arts! He was absolutely adorable in his uniform!
We did his party there because he is obsessed with Kung Fu Panda lately and he loves to play Kung Fu with Daddy when he gets home from work!
Playing with his brother
Jack's favorite thing to do around the house is get all the pillows and blankets he can find and throw them all in a pile and then roll around in it and say he is a pig stuck in the mud. We have no idea where he gets this, but it's pretty funny! In this picture, he is buried under the pile of pillows- you can see his leg sticking out!!
Quality time with Pops!
At his class learning to sit cris-cross applesause!
They would do these little obstacle courses to help with agility, it was so cute watching him!
Jack is showing us how old he is now!!! What a big boy!!!!! Happy birthday to our little man!
