Everett turns three!

On Monday, September 13th my sweet little boy turned three! I still can't believe it. I've had a hard time with this birthday. I really think that three is the age where they're really not babies anymore, and that makes me sad. On his actual birthday we gave him his present from Mommy and Daddy. He got a Cars bicycle and a helmet to match. He loved it! We took him for his three year well-visit on that Friday. He weighs 28 pounds which is in the 13th percentile for his age and was 36 1/4" tall which is the 21st percentile for his age. At his two year well visit he only weighed 22 pounds so he has gained 6 pounds in a year. The 13th percentile is the highest he has been on the growth chart since before he started walking! At three years old Everett is somewhat potty trained. He has good days and bad days. I think if he really wanted to he could be fully potty trained, but I think that sometimes it's easier to go in his pants rather than take the time to go to the potty. He talks and talk and talks and talks! He can say anything and everything and loves to talk on the phone. He randomly comes up to me and says "I love you, mommy", and misses his Daddy like crazy when he's at work. He can dress himself with the exception of putting on socks and shoes. He can ride his bicycle on level ground. He can count to fifteen unassisted and knows his full name and age. He is growing up so fast!
