Topher's THREE!!

It doesn't seem real. How is it possible? Our little booger butt is quickly turning into a little man. He's so sweet and polite...most of the time. It's definitely obvious that he's three, though. He's constantly pushing limits and seeing how much he can get away with. He's also super smart and so funny. And he never meets a stranger. He just loves everyone he meets. I love that about him. We're so proud of him. Happy birthday, Topher. We love you so much!

The specifics: Topher checked in at 29lbs (25th percentile) and 35 1/2" tall (10th percentile). He must take after me in height, poor guy. Although, the doc said that growth spurts don't usually occur until the warmer months (who knew?) so we should expect him to get a little taller this summer.

Topher's 3rd birthday party was held at Indoor Safari Park in Southlake. That place is a ZOO!! A little overwhelming for adults, but talk about a wonderland for kids. They do a little parade for the birthday boy, a train ride, robotic animal rides, a putt-putt course and then a private tiki hut for the celebration. What fun!! Topher wants to thank all his friends for coming to his party and for all the wonderful gifts. He had such a fantastic time. We hope everyone else did, too.

And THANK YOU to Beth for sending me this video...



One last little story about the birthday boy. This is just too cute. The other day while eating his dinner, I heard him saying what I thought was "Oh man!" and he would say it twice in a row. The next time I heard him say "Oh man!" we noticed he was holding his hands like he was praying. Then we heard him singing a little song before saying "Oh, man!" Turns out, Topher learned a very sweet little "before meals prayer" at school and "Oh, man" is actually "Amen". We are so impressed and so proud. I'll try to get it on video and post it really soon. It's just so sweet.
