Wow, where have the last 3 years gone? I know at least a cumulative month of it has been spent in doctors' waiting rooms, but other than that, it has been great!
Trace's 3 year stats are - height 32 1/2 inches (~1SD above the mean on the Achon chart), weight 27 lbs, and head circumference 22 inches (both right at 50% on the Achon charts). The pediatrician is very happy with Trace's development, and agrees that he is one smart cookie!
Trace really, really wanted a "John Deere Awnmower" for his birthday, but then couldn't decide between the "awnmower" and the John Deere Gator. So, his daddy took him to WalMart and let him pick his presents - he came home with the "awnmower" AND a new bicycle! We have done a little work on the bike and it fits Trace fairly well, the last think we need to do is work on the pedals - I am thinking that he needs the "toe cage" thingys to help him keep his feet on the pedals and keep the pedals from turning - he can get on and off by himself (we removed the spring from the suspension to lower the seat). This is the best fitting bike for Trace that we have found so far - I'll let you know how it works out when we get the pedals figured out - plus it is really cool and "big boy" looking, so he should be able to use it for years!
We had a small party for Trace and my nephew, Eaden, who will be 2 on May 12. Of course, the theme was "John Deere Tractors". The boys enjoyed their party, and both got some cool gifts! Trace's favorite gift, by far, (besides the "awnmower", of course) is the CAT Take-Apart Wheel Loader, both he and Taylor love playing with it!
wow Tracer is 3!!! That is amazing to me!! I remember when he was soo little and we loved holding and spoiling him ALL day long ;0) Time flies!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Tracer ! The tractor looks sooooo good and we love the pictures. He is so green :-) Best wishes from Amelia and her family!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe he is three. It just amazes me that we have watched each other's kids grow up right before our eyes. It's unreal. He looks just adorable on his tractor. You have to post pics of the bike. I need to get Preston a bike because he is hell on wheels on that scooter and making me nervous. The cupcake tractor cake was gorgeous! Did you make that? Happy Birthday Trace!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Now everytime I go to the fabric store and see the John Deer Tractor patterns I always think of Trace! There are so many cool patterns out there that he would love!
ReplyDeleteTrace looks like he had a wonderful birthday! What a creative cupcake/birthday cake.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Trace! Those pics of him on his "awnmower" are so adorable! Love it! Awesome tractor cake too!
ReplyDeleteWow - I can't believe that Trace is 3 years old already! He is so very adorble on his "awnmower" - love it!! Simon is very excited to see these pictures of Trace - I'm sure it won't be long before he wants one too! :) The tractor cake/cupcake is so cute!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the toe cage for Trace's new bike! You'll have to post pictures of him on his big boy bike!
Happy Birthday Trace!! It looks like you had a lot of fun and got some awesome presents!
