3 Years Old!!!

My sweet Gav,

Wow!  The past three years have flown by in the blink of an eye!  You are so incredibly intelligent and  loving; you make Dad and I so very proud.  These past three years have been the best three years of our lives.  You really make each day special and we are so thankful for you.  With the arrival of your little brother just a few months away, we are looking forward to seeing you in the new role of "big brother." We know you will be an amazing big brother and a wonderful role model.  This will be my last monthly milestone post for you, but I will continue to write about the milestones you achieve as you grow.  Here are just a few cute things about you this past month:

• You threw up one morning and said it was because you had something in your throat.  You said, "I throwed up because there was something in my throat.  It was a frog or something."  Hmm...  Where do you get this stuff??

• When we were in the backyard one day, you decided that you wanted to "tow" the trailer with your car.  So, you hooked it up with some chains and gave it a go.

• You still fall asleep in the car pretty often and then Daddy or I will carry you into the house and lay you on the couch.  One particular day you fell asleep clutching the balloon you got during lunch and didn't let go even after being carried in and laid on the couch.  It was so cute.
• We took a trip to the Balboa Pier and had a great time.  You got to ride a ferris wheel for the first time and you loved it!  You also got to ride the ferry for the first time and you really enjoyed that as well.

• You love to help in the kitchen and I even bought you your very own chef's apron.  You are the cutest chef I've ever seen!

• We took you to see "The Lorax" in theaters and you did much better this time (we took you to see "Cars 2" about a year ago and you fell asleep).  You sat through the entire movie and said you really enjoyed it.  It was very cute.

We love you so very much, Gav!  You are such an amazing kid and we are thankful for every day with you and every day to come.  We are excited for what the future holds for you.

We love you so much!!
