Martin TURNS 3!!

Our big boy turned 3 on October 1st. So we celebrated the Saturday before. He had a Toy Story 3 birthday (his choice) and had an awesome time. We had lots of family and friends. Martin got so many nice things. He is still talking about it! I don't have a lot of pictures on my phone because I was running around making sure everything was going smoothly!

Since he has been asking for a few weeks for his "big bed" we decided it would be a good time to put it up for him. He loves it sooo much. We still have a slight obsession with all things prehistoric so naturally our bedroom is now dinosaurs!! He looks so tiny in his big bed but he is getting to be such a big boy.

I am so proud of him! He is smart, kind, loving, compassionate, and funny. Martin loves all animals and still enjoys being outside more than anything in the world. The zoo is one of his very favorite places. He loves to swing, slide, run and jump. He can throw a ball really well and loves to kick it to you! He has learned so much in the last year. He has learned his abc's, can count to 25, knows all of his colors and shapes. Loves reading books and has several favorites. He knows almost every word to Where the Wild Things Are. He also loves Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs (Mo Willems), Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Little Blue Truck, anything Sandra Boynton, and still loves Goodnight Gorilla too. Still hates for you to rinse his hair in the bath. Acts like you're water boarding him or something. Asks a million questions and I have to remind myself this is how he learns all that he knows. He makes me so proud of him every days. He is such a doting big brother too. And I can tell Olivia already loves him sooo much. She follows him around all day and wants to play with whatever he has. I am so glad God chose us to be Martin's Mama and Daddy!
