| Birthday boy making funny faces! |
Seriously!?! We have a 3
year old??? How on earth did that happen so fast? There are days with I look at
Lucas and I see my newborn baby and then there are moments when I see a little
grown up sitting there. I can’t believe how much he has changed and how his
personality has become so distinct. He is to the point where he is having full
conversations with people and even telling jokes. His favorite currently being
the quote from the Lion King about “what’s a motto”. As you can see from his
stats he is growing… very quickly. He is our big little dude for sure. It is
getting to the point where I can’t carry him around for more than a few minutes
because he is so long and heavy. He gets mistaken for a kindergartener more
times than I want to admit.
Stats:
Height – 3’4 ½” – 96th
percentile
Weight – 43lbs – 99th
percentile

Likes:
Superheroes – I’m pretty
sure he knows more superheroes and more about them that I ever did before he
was born.
Fruit – I think if we
would let him just eat fruit all day long he would, it is always his favorite
part of his meal.
Coloring – Whether it is
with actual crayons or on an iPad or phone, this kid cannot get enough of
coloring.
Games – He loves games,
he got Candy Land for Christmas and Hi Ho Cherri-o for his birthday and he asks
daily if we can play one of his games.
His friends – pretty much
everyone he knows is his friend, and he gets so excited when they come over or
we get to go see them.

Dislikes:
Bedtime – He is still
struggling with sleeping, he gets “afraid” of the cars outside the house. We
use a white noise machine but he still gets freaked out most nights.
Mama leaving – We have
had a lot of crazy things happen in our lives lately and has made it so I am
not around as much, whether it was from recovering from surgery or working… and
he does not like it a bit.
Water on his head – This one
is a new one; he doesn’t like baths as much anymore because he can’t stand
having water poured on his head.

A lot has changed for
Lucas since he was 2. This past year he finally got tubes put in to help with
his ear infections, which has made a HUGE difference in his life. Minus one
yucky bug that the whole family got he hasn’t gotten sick at all since his
surgery. He also has gotten glasses since our last update. I noticed that he
was doing funny things with his left eye when he was trying to focus on
something. So we took him to see an eye doctor and he wasn’t using his left eye
to see. So now he has the cutest little glasses and has to patch every so often
to strengthen his eye. The doctor is hopeful that he will grow out of his
glasses when he gets older. Oh, we have also broken free of the pacifier! I'd like to take credit for that, but Vinnie was amazing and got him to finally give it up for good!
