Ben's 3 Year Stats
Height: 37.5 in ( 2.5 in increase in 6 months) 60th percentile
Weight: 32 lbs ( 5.5 lb increase in 6 months) 50th percentile
Ben had two requests for his birthday this year: swimming at the rec center and bowling. Both were so fun! They loved watching the animations on the screen after anyone bowled.
McKenna was a little timid at first, but even tried a couple times without the ramp.
Ben does not like to be helped.
I love how he jumped up and down almost every time.
Using his head!
We don't know what Ben was doing with this pants here, but it was pretty cute seeing his little white legs with his bowling shoes on.
The final scores! (Editor's note: Not Dan's finest work)
His birthday morning, McKenna told him to come up to the top bunk for some morning birthday snuggles! Such cute siblings!
Seeing his decorations.
"I'm fwee."
Opening some presents
Nice blue tongue
Caught him trying to nurse a baby doll. :)
Swimming time!
Then home for some ice cream cake!

Here's what I wrote on Instagram about him, "He's such a fun spirited boy who loves to do what the 'big' kids are doing. He adores his baby sister and could play with McKenna all day long (if she'd let him). He loves to show me his big body (lifts up his shirt) after every meal. He loves letters and numbers. Two really cute things he says lately are a a breathy 'Wow!' if something impresses him, and 'Do dat adain' (do that again). He's tall enough now to hit his head on our kitchen counters and does it quite often. What a joy he is to have in our family!"
The day after his birthday, we "gave his binki to other babies who need it", so Dan took it to work with him. It took Ben about three nights to teach himself how to fall asleep without it. Fortunately (?) he was already getting up during the night, so we didn't notice too big of a change in his sleeping habits.

Tell Dan I would be stoked to get over 100, let alone 125! Ben looks less than enthused when he blows out the candle. And my favorite interview answer was 10 years old :)
Cutest kid ever!!!! He wants to be 10 when he grows up....aw, i love it!!! :) Looks like his birthday was super fun, he has good ideas for his birthday, swimming, bowling, AND ice cream cake!!!
