Abraham's 3rd birthday, a tad late.

There isn't really an excuse for this post being so late, but I'll give you a few anyway! I was busy with work, boys, death in the family, new pregnancy, not enough computer time...

Anyway, happy birthday to my first born! We still can't believe that we have a big guy, one that walks, talks, runs, jumps, goes to school, plays board games, and loves us like this guy does. The time has flown by these last 3 years. We decided that Abraham needed some outside stimulation, so we found a great Montessori school that he attends 3 half ways a week. He LOVES it and asks daily if it is "tool" day. Let's hope that lasts into high school.

The stats:
Weight: 32# (63%), up from 8#3.
Height: 38 inches (75%), up from 20 3/4 inches.
Sleep: No naps, except for the rare occasion, otherwise to bed at 1900, up between 0700-0830. You and Solly share a full size bed and try to "nore" him out.
Food: Had gotten in a rut, but then mom got tired of making special things, so now cheese sauce is our friend to help get anything in! You request green beans, "so that I can earn dessert."
Favorite things: Puppy (the same one mom stole from Uncle Ryan 30 years ago) and beaver, trains and talking about trains, books, marshmallows, helping in the kitchen, Oma's house, his Muppet shirt to match dads, flying airplanes to Arizona, outside, bubbles, and puppy and beaver.
Brotherly love: Most days you get along well with Solomon, but sometimes push his just because. You're learning how to play much better together.

His vocabulary is gigantic. It's hard to believe we once had a concern about his lack of speech. Now, he never STOPS talking!


Club Car!! The newest addition to the family. A beautiful blue Betta.
Uncle Herb and Solomon hanging out. Best buddies.
Bowling with Bapa!
Moms second attempt at decorating. Solomon had a fire truck cake and was the guinea pig. Aber's requested a train cake with a club car of course!
Helping mom make his birthday cake. Abraham is my sous chef, all the time. This guy loves to cook!

For his actual birthday, we had some friends over for snacks, cake, and ice cream. One of David's students put on a cute little puppet show for us. The immediate family went bowling and had an awesome time! It was the first time bowling for Abraham and the last time for Uncle Herb. We are so glad we had a fun family outing just before he died.

Happy birthday sweet, sweet blue eyed, curly haired boy! We "love you the mostest!"
