Matthew's 3!!

On October 19th, our sweet, happy, wonderful boy turned three.  We had a couple of parties with our families and here are the pictures that highlight the days events.

Seven candles to celebrate three great years.  Because math.

They handled the end of Titanic in their own ways.  Also, Thea doesn't like having frosting lip.

Papa Geoff reads.  In background: Pigeon's lack of success at driving the bus blows Matthew's mind.

Thanks for joining us, Thea.

No jokes here.  Just a wonderful gift.

Playing joyfully in the leaves.  Not found in the leaves: Mike's wedding ring.

Putting out the fire.

On Monday the 20th, we took Matthew to the doctor for his yearly check-up.  

His stats:

Height: 40 1/2 inches (97th %ile)

Weight: 36 pounds (75th %ile)

Head: they measured this and he was in the 95th percentile but the doctor said that at 3 this is no longer a primary measurement 

Blood Pressure: 92/66 (they legit took his blood pressure - cuff and all!)

Throughout the check-up, Matthew talked about what the doctor was going to do, like checking his ears and eyes.  Thea most definitely cried when she saw the doctor walk in the room but Matthew did not shed a tear upon getting his shot.  They weren't lying when they said each child would be different.  And since this is about our Matthew, you should know that he is brave and curious and thoughtful and loud when excited. And he doesn't like roller coasters.
