3 years + 3 months

 3 years

 J. had a birthday on the 11th. It was a quiet birthday but very fun. He requested balloons and chocolate cupcakes. His birthday dinner request was "Mickey-Mac" and broccoli.  (He also eats butter, not with toast, just plain butter, sound familiar? Mickey-mac, broccoli, and butter...yes, he loves the same foods his uncle Michael did at the same age).

We went to a park to take some birthday pictures and to play. It was lovely. When he was playing on the playground a little half-asian girl came and they ended up playing together. There are little plastic hammock type things at said playground and J. likes to pretend to sleep on them. At one point the little girl was standing near her parents and J. asks her "do you want to sleep with me?" Her parents thought it was pretty funny and said something along the lines of how forward boys are these days and how it starts younger and younger.

When we went home we had cupcakes, sang the song, and opened presents. We then all played together with them until J's bedtime. It was a good day.

3 months

We can't believe little G. is already three months. She is growing so fast and is so determined to continue doing just that.

I don't know if we're remembering incorrectly or if it's true, but it seems like she is reaching her benchmarks a lot faster than J. did at the same age.

She loves tummy time. She is interested in toys and bats at them (and at our faces) with her little hands. She seems to love being naked and is always ready to smile. She's very patient and is becoming a tough little lady. I imagine that she'll be able to run circles around J. in a year or so.
