Ryder's stats

I have to write Ryder's three year old stats here so I don't forget them.  He's growing up big but still a long and lean dude, just like his dad.  (His dad who just weighed himself today and told me the scale said 172 and he's 6'3"!).  Ryder did great at the doctor today.  He finally got his MMR shot, which they usually give at 18 mos but we have put it off and now that he's going to preschool we figured it was time to give it to him.  They measured him at 37 1/2" tall, which is 25-50% and weighs 26.6 pounds, which is 5-10%.  His BMI is 13.4, which is less than 5%.  As I said, long and lean.  I had the Dr. do a hearing test because we felt like he was saying "What?" a lot and we weren't sure he was hearing us or if he was just processing what we said.  He passed the hearing test with flying colors so he is just being a typical 3 year old and ignoring us sometimes :)

He's really into Avengers and all things super hero right now.  He loves cars and trucks, playing outside, hitting the baseball with dad, and just being a crazy boy.  We love him to pieces!!

Ryder turns three!

This little stinker turned three today and we are SO excited to celebrate his special day.  He is such an amazing little guy and we love him more than words.  Here are three things that I adore about little Ryder boy:
1) He knows exactly what he wants and he isn't afraid to tell you.  Love that little spitfire personality.

2) He is all boy but has enough confidence to rock a pink dress or fingernail polish during dress up time.  It takes a special man to be OK with all that girly stuff that's all around our house.

3)  He is such a mama's boy and I eat it all up.  The girls have always had each other and never 'needed' me the way Ryder did.  He is my little buddy and I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have his sweet companionship all day long.

Ryder boy, you are one special kid.  We love you to the moon and back, you sweet little boy!
