Happy Birthday to You

J & I can't believe three years have flown by.  We started the day by telling Cooper the story about the day he was born.  He loved it and and asked for more stories.  I love this age ... for the most part. 

Some recent stats:
Height - 104 cm or almost 41" (off the growth chart)
Weight - 17.8 kg or 39 pounds (97th percentile)
Vocabulary - Full conversations with adult phrasing including "actually Mommy, that's an _____."
Favorite pastimes - Reading, playing with cars, running everywhere, pretending he is a police officer.
Favorite song - Bad Boys from Cops. Against my knowledge, J let Cooper watch Cops.  They have changed the song to "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when Cooper comes for you?"  And Cooper sings it that way. 
Favorite nursery rhyme - Hickory dickory dock (we have no idea why)

His imagination has really come out lately.  He loves making up stories.  And testing our patience.  But we love him always.
