Our 3 Year Old!

Zachary turned three years old yesterday and was LOVING the extra attention! When he woke up I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said that he wanted to go for a bike ride to the park! Good thing the weather was gorgeous!! So Emma, Josh, Zach and I went for a bike ride to the park that is just a few blocks from our house. It worked out perfectly that we went right when school was getting out, so a bunch of our friends from church went to the park also and ended up all singing Happy Birthday to Zachie while we were there! It was so cute! He doesn't quite understand what a birthday is yet or what people mean when they wish him Happy Birthday...he just repeats it right back to them. But you can definitely tell that he enjoys people telling him anyway! :) Later in the evening we went to Jamie's softball game where Zachie got to play at another park and ride his bike some more. Then on the way home from the game we stopped and picked up a special birthday treat. We stuck three candles into his tasty vanilla frosty and sang happy brithday to our little stud...he was so excited!! I think he really enjoyed his special day!

Zach went for his three year checkup about a week earlier and he is growing great! He is now about average for his weight which is a first for him! It was kind of funny because the doctor asked him a question about what he was going to do for his birthday (to check on his speech) and ended up getting an earful about how he was going to have lots of balloons and a big surprise! (Still not exactly sure what he was referring to.) It was hilarious to see the doctor look over at us like he wasn't expecting a huge description! So funny! We are so happy for our big 3 year old and are loving watching him grow! We can't wait to see the fun things that are in store for this happy little boy!! We love you Zachie-Doo!!
