Happy 3rd Birthday, Xander!

Here are some pictures of Xander from his 3rd birthday!

3-year-old Xander loves:

Thomas the Train, singing, building things, eating (he loves almost all food), playing by himself most of the time, reading books

3-year-old Xander is:

very silly, smiley, happy, independent, slow moving, a little Type A, a little clumsy, a messy eater, 33lbs (50th percentile) and 37 3/4" tall (75th percentile).

3-year-old Xander can:

remember the lyrics to any song he's heard even if he's only heard it once, go 5 hours without pottying, write an X, recognize all letters and numbers up to 10, count to 20 (almost), spell his name and his siblings' names,

3-year-old Xander's quirks:

has to sleep with his white blanket on top of his pillow, sleeps with 4 animals in his bed every night, still responds to "reverse psychology" (ex. "Don't eat that broccoli. That's my broccoli. Don't you eat it, it's mine. I'm going to eat it." Then, he eats the broccoli and laughs), wants to do everything himself but then never actually does it because he gets distracted by something and wanders off, can play by himself for hours if uninterrupted.
