Drew's Birthday


Drew's birthday landed on a Sunday this year, so we went out on Saturday to McDonald's to get his Happy Meal. He loves getting Happy Meals and enjoyed his Nerf gun he got with it. We were going to go down to the train park but decided to do it another time. We let him open his new bike that morning and he had fun riding it. He is still trying to figure it out and so he still loves his Coupe Car the best. I give him 6 months and he will be loving his bike more. Anyways, Sunday we went to my Mom's and had a little celebration with all the nieces and nephews. Drew had a lot of fun and loved his cake. Next year I am going to make a better effort at making his cake. Costco is just so much more convenient. It was a nice weekend, and of course ended the night with both kids on sugar highs. But you only turn 3 once!
The next day, Monday, Drew had is annual check up and passed it with flying colors. He weighs 27.2 lbs and is 35 in tall. He had a growth spurt this past month which helped him climb a few percentages on the growth chart. I am not worried. This is how it runs in Ryan's family. The doctor isn't worried either because he is growing consistently at each check up. I guess my kids will just be petite, at least for now. Drew can tell you all his colors and shapes and all the pictures the doctor pointed to. He can also count to 14 and knows the difference between big and small and mommy and baby animals. I need to video Drew reading his books because he just amazes us with the things he says. So, the doctor was very impressed with Drew, and I walked out of the office a proud Mom!
