 Bath time

 Getting my big boy haircut...well my 4th.

 I love it when kate holds my hand in the car.

 Kate and Daddy out to a big girl birthday lunch

 We went to the luminary walk at the Nelson Art Gallery, but I thought the ramp was much more fun

 Getting ready for christmas!

 Kate and Uncle Jamey had a very long tea party. Uncle Jamey was a good sport to drink all of his tea.

 The next tea party subjects.

 She has never been quite so gleeful. I was scared of the pony.

 I was quite a troublemaker in the middle of the ballet party

 I am quite pleased that I have discovered snacks and that I know where to find them.

 Now this cake is exciting! I put the candle out with my bare hand. No one told me I was supposed to blow.

 I love birthdays!

 Matching games with Mimi

 This is so fun!

 New dress up clothes

 I was getting all kinds of respect in this outfit.

 Grandaddy and I love to do work on the calculator. Every time I go to Mimi and Gramdaddy's, I get straight to work in the office. No time for play.

We turned 3 &1! Its been a very busy and exciting couple of months with Thanksgiving, birthdays and Christmas. I am having so much fun being a big boy. I am running all over the place, love climbing the stairs, emptying drawers, dragging things around, riding on my cars, and silently getting into mischief...very sweetly. I love to laugh and try to make things very funny.  Hiding and being chased are my all time favorite. I try to instigate a game of chase every 10 minutes. I still love looking at art. I'm starting to talk. I've got the basics down - mama, dada, Ate, Ja, berber, woof woof, dog, boo, more, bye - and I love to use all of my favorite signs - milk, more, all done, bye. I'm a good kisser too.

Kate (actually Wendy, still) is such a big girl now that she is 3. She loves school, dressing up, coloring, cutting paper, having tea parties, talking with her "sister Polly who is 4 and usually comes over to babysit for me so that she can go out with her friends", playing with her babies, making coffee and other meals, grocery shopping, reading and is busy singing pieces of christmas songs. Kate looked forward to her birthday "coming out" for so long, now she is already working on being 4. She is also asking when it is going to be Christmas again.
