Oh this silly 3 year old. I'm a lucky girl to be his momma! Getting measured at the doctor for his well check.
Here are a bunch of pics from the past 8 mos or so (I think it uploaded them in order from most recent to older)...
Cleaning his crazyon "art" off the walls.
We were playing this game of "HeadBandz". Jet doesn't know what character he is so he has to ask questions to figure it out. It started like this:
Jet: "Am I a horse?"
Mom: "yes!!"
Jet: "Am I Jesus?"
Mom: hahahahahaha
Obsessed with anything "Minja Turtle."
Love his dreamy eyes, long lashes, and those plump lips!
He loves all of his uncles, but has a special place in his heart for Uncle Brody.
One of our nightly snuggles last summer before the chair got moved into the baby room.
It was a sad day for Jetty (ok me too), when we sold our "white car" (Tucson) and drove the minivan home. :(
He definitely knows how to spend a day on the lake.
I have so many pictures of Jet sleeping in the last couple of months... he'd been having a hard time going to bed at bedtime, so I did away with naps...sort of! It's tough to make it through the whole day.
A few things about Jetty boy at 3 yrs old:
- Jet is seeming like such a BIG boy all of a sudden. Perhaps it's because since early December he: finally figured out how to climb out of his crib, now sleeps in a bunk bed, has been potty trained, and is no longer napping! What the?! Where did my baby Jet go?!
- Potty training was a little hard for the first couple of weeks and then it just clicked. We've had very few accidents and he wakes up most mornings dry. I think it was a good idea to wait a little longer to start him.
- He sings his ABC's and counts to 20 (we're working on the sounds).
- He loves going to Target! One Friday night for a "family date" which usually includes dinner out and wandering Target as we pulled into the parking lot, Jet was so excited. He just blurted out, "Oh I jus wuv, wuv, Tahghet!" Brett and I were cracking up! Brett probably wonders what I've done to his boy!
- This boy changes his clothes usually 2-3 times a day! It about drives me bonkers! Most of the time he first gets dressed into a tshirt and basketball shorts (like daddy), and if we have to run errands in the cold I will end up making him change into something warmer (much to his dismay). Then of course as soon as we're home he changes back into "summer" type clothes. New ones of course...not the first ones he chose that morning. I do think he's a bit hot blooded...he gets warm pretty easily. I've definitely learned to "pick my battles" with this one. Usually he just wears what he wants because it's not worth me fighting him about it!
- He always wants a napkin and wipes his face and fingers several times while eating. He doesn't like to feel messy.
- He is a big tease and likes to push big sisters buttons!
- He is very, very sweet with baby Ike. I've never seen him act negative towards him. Usually he just wants to be near Ike (doesn't ask to hold him much), and kiss his head.
- He likes nursery.... although during sacrament meeting he can usually be heard (by the majority of the congregation) saying, "I don't want to go to nursery. Let's go home. Are we done yet?"
- LOVES to drink and would most definitely consume all of his calories in liquids if I would let him. I wouldn't say he's a "picky" eater, it's just more that "eats like a bird"...usually in small amounts. It also takes him a REALLY long time to eat. Can we say easily distracted?
- He still loves to make messes. A clean room is not a fun room. Must leave a trail wherever he goes!
- He is an active boy and always wants to go outside. It's been a hard winter with not much snow very often to play in so he's had a bit of cabin fever (we all have)!
- Jet loves to wrestle! I'd dare say his favorite time of day is when daddy comes home from work. He can barely wait long enough for dad to change out of his scrubs before they can wrestle.
- Toys he loves right now are: "Minja Turtles", Thomas and Friends trains/tracks, and Cars.
- Loves TMNT movies. Shows he likes are "Little Einsteins," "Backyardigans," "Jake & Neverland Pirates."
- Jet has always had a bit more of a demanding personality and you WILL know if he's not happy with something. But, he also does have a sweet sensitive side too! He gives awesome hugs and will always offer unsolicited "I love you's." He is also a very polite boy and is the first to say "please and thank you."
Life is definitely brighter and more exciting with this boy in it! We love you "To Infinity & Beyond" Jetty boy!!
