3 years ago today, at 12:46am, a little man entered the world and completed our family! My how the time has flown by! It seems like only yesterday we were introducing Kelly to her little baby brother.
There is so much that I want to remember about the last year that I decided to write some of it down.
Favorites:
Food- pancakes, oatmeal, popcorn, chips and pizza
Restaurant- Pizza Hut
Color- green (Kelly has said since he was born that this was
his favorite color and now it is)
Show- Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Thomas and Friends
Animal- cat
Weight- 29 1/2 lbs.
Height- 3 feet
Nicknames- Mommy and Grandma: Bubba or Bubba Boy
Daddy: Squirt Grandpa: Chicken little
When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy and a Grandpa and
drive Thomas
*Is still Thomas the Train’s number one fan
*Spends most of the day playing with cars and trains and
putting puzzles together
*Is a big Mommy’s boy
*Loves to cuddle and give tons of hugs and kisses
*Still a very picky eater, but does well with the food that
he does like
*Loves to make people laugh, he will be the class clown one
day
*Has become more independent this year and you can tell his
confidence has grown. He is not that shy
little boy anymore that hides when someone says hi to him.
*Is fully potty trained
*Has to have his blue cover and baby kitty to go to sleep
*Loves to be read to. Will bring me a big stack of books and
just sit and listen as I read them all
*Recognizing letters, numbers and shapes and point them out
when he sees them
*Loves music, but will not sing. I still can’t get him to sing his ABC’s, he
says he doesn't sing only Kelly and Mommy sings. He will sing “FIRE” really loud when Girl on
Fire by Alicia Keys comes on. Loves anything with a good beat so he can
dance. He loves to “rock out” in the car
and we have several videos of him doing this, too cute.
*This year he really got into all of the holidays and
understood what was going on. He even
got over his fear of Santa this year and loved going to go see him. I think he ended up talking with him at least
three times.
*Helps pick out his clothes and gets himself dressed and
undressed.
*Has an amazing imagination.
He already changes his voice for the different characters he is playing
with and loves to role play with Kelly. He also loves to dress up: Handy Manny,
a race car driver, Batman…
*Loves his sleep. During the week he goes to nap at 10:00
and I usually end up waking him up at 1:30 so we can go get Kelly.
*Loves bath time and always wants to go first
*Is such a loving and caring little man. He always makes sure Kelly is taken care of
and if Grandma says she has something for him the first thing he says is “do
you have something for Kelly?”
Things I love to hear him say:
“My have a question for you”
“My want to play little bit”
“Naked boy! Naked
Boy!” (He sings this as he is running around after his bath)
“Yep!”
Calling his paci a “boobie”
“Tell her what I saying”
“I wanna give you kiss”
Calls church “Baby Jesus’ castle”
“Six Flags over Georgia” (you can’t just say Six Flags)
“Bye crocodile”
Favorite memories:
Kyleigh’s favorite memory- The day we were watching TV and
he was sitting in my lap and laughing. I didn't feel good that day and he wanted to play with me.
Grandpa and Grandma’s favorite memories-
The way he says Grandpa “Am-paw”.
How he always wants
to ride “icky mouse” (Mickey Mouse) at the mall.
The day he saw the bird caught inside the mall. His facial expressions were priceless. He was in total amazement that there was a
bird inside.
Chasing Mommy into the
mall yelling “Wait Mommy, I coming!”
When we watched them for the first time, he woke up at a
quarter till 6 on Sunday morning yelling for Grandma, but only Grandpa was
up. Grandpa came and got him and he went
straight to the fridge and started eating pizza that he had not eaten the night
before. He would not go to Grandpa or go
potty, just stare at him…until Grandma got up.
Even though his party is on Saturday he had to have Birthday cake tonight!
Happy 3rd Birthday Bubba Boy! We love you!
