My Baby

What a difference FOUR YEARS makes! My baby boy is FOUR!! The thought of my baby being four is such a bittersweet thing!

I am thrilled at the healthy preschooler O is. He's as rough and tumble as any other boys I've ever met. He is more than able to hold his own! He is certainly the youngest of three boys!
As a mother, I am proud and thrilled of my boy. I am also sad that the years are going by so quickly.
I can remember, as if it were yesterday, the day he was born. I started contracting while watching a show with my mom. I dismissed it. I spent the next several hours trying to sleep and hoping the pains would go away. Sweet boy wasn't due for another 3.5 weeks and I wanted to keep him in for each and every day I had left! I was enjoying being a mom of two little ones and was hoping to enjoy my last Easter holiday with the ease of only two little ones on the outside!
He was my littlest peanut, who at his early debut, still weighed in at nearly 7 pounds! 6lbs 15 ounces to be exact! He was a little shorty though - 18.5 inches!!
He's still a peanut! He weighs a whopping 32 pounds and is quite short for his age. He stays in the 25th percentile for height and a little less than that for weight.
Other than his eye issues, he's completely healthy. He has to have a tooth pulled soon, but is a champ at the doctor and the dentist! He is such an easy going kid! He actually had two fillings put in his teeth...I'm a bad momma, who let my desire to keep him a baby, ruin his teeth!
He loves to run, ride bikes, play with his brothers and his friends. He is currently in his "mommy attachment phase" and prefers to never leave my side...unless, he's going with his grandma!
He LOVES super hero's and can often be heard declaring "When I grow up, I wanna be a FATMAN". Fatman is otherwise known as BATMAN. He idolizes his big brothers and wants to do whatever they do!
He loves to spell his name, he can count to 25 and say his ABC's...but not on command. He loves books and still prefers Thomas. He has also taken a liking to CARS and Toy Story.
He's my little buddy. We spend most every day together. He's a delight and a wonderful addition to our lives. He makes us laugh...a LOT! We love him and are so thankful for him!
