This boy turned 4 on Thanksgiving and I realized that I never posted a thing. Below are his preschool pictures from this year:
At his recent pediatrician appointment he was in the 65th percentile for weight and the 67th percentile for height. I think I posted plenty about what he's been up to less than a month ago, but he enjoyed having some family visit for his birthday and especially loves the Star Wars toy that is on the table in the pictures below. He spent a large part of his birthday throwing tantrums for one reason or another (actually he's spent the last 3 days mostly whining and throwing fits for seemingly ridiculous things. Having to eat food that he picked out himself, needing to put on different pants after you have an accident in the pair you're wearing, having to wait for lunch because it needs to be in the microwave for 45 seconds. The list could go on. That's just a partial sampling from this morning).
At any rate he's 4 now. He can be so sweet and is truly in love with his brother. When he's having a rough time a good book is always helpful and he loves to hug his big teddy bear. He's a boy who needs routine and structure, and to know what's coming next. When he's not losing it for one reason or another he can be so fun and creative, thinking of really witty and funny ideas. He loves Legos, outer space, and Pixar. He's very particular, articulate, and inquisitive. I'm so glad that I'm his mom.

Corban had his 15 month appointment when Gabriel had his 4 year one (oh the screaming in the room after they both got shots. So loud. Glad it was a "both parent" outing). Corban was 24 lb 6 oz (47th percentile), head circumference of 18.5 (44th percentile), and 33.25 inches tall (95th percentile). He's wearing 24 month clothes (some of which are still too short) and climbing onto everything. He is a total ham and loves attention. He has no problem standing in the middle of a room of adults and turning to make sure that everyone has smiled at him. He just waves and says "bbbbyyyyyeee" when I drop him off at the church nursery. He likes to "dance", look at books, run around with Gabriel, stack Mega Blocks, brush his teeth, and push chairs up to the counters to explore. He's a fan of "Mary Had a Little Lamb", "Twinkle Twinkle", "Head, Shoulder, Knees, and Toes", and "Old McDonald." He enjoys taking all of Taylor's dress shoes out of the closet and putting them on the floor in our room (my shoes are not interested apparently). Yesterday he was trying to put on Tayor's boots. He gives silly hugs and kisses and generally just makes me laugh.
