Jace's birthday

Jace had his 3rd birthday this month. I've been slacking a lot on blogging our happenings, but Jace wanted a Pirate Party. This was the birthday cake for our family party with the grandparents. A treasure chest, he was pretty excited to dig into it all day. I had to hide it for awhile.

Jace loved opening the gifts from his grandparents and has had a lot of fun playing with them since. His favorite present was from Levi, a gumball machine (Levi picked it out himself), this kid loves gum.

Birthday Boy

The big 2. He is such an independant little boy and loves to do anything that his brother is doing.
I think that his favorite phrase is "I do it". He also loves to climb on just about anything. It was a little suprising when he let Levi help him blow out candles and open his presents. I think that Levi was more excited for Jace's birthday than anyone.


At Jace's 2 year old doctor appointment he weighed 33.25 lbs (94th percentile), and was 35.5 inches (77th percentile). Yes, he is on his way to be a linebacker.
During his immunizations I told him that he was going to get a shot and that it was going to hurt but it wouldn't hurt for long, so he needed to be a big boy and not cry. He said "okay, I big boy". As they gave him the shot, big tears welled up in his eyes and he began to cry. I told him "it's all done" He looked up at me with those big blue eyes and said "All done" wiped both cheeks with the back of his hands and said "No tears, no tears, I big boy". It was pretty cute.

Birthday Wishes

On my birthday (Wed the 30th) Rick had class, I had work and so we decided to celebrate on Fri. However he suprised me that day by picking the boys up from the sitter, bringing them up to the clinic to give me flowers and sing "Happy Birthday". They were so super cute singing to me. My patient thought that they were adorable. I have to agree.
