Jesse is 1, 2, 3!!!!

I can't believe my baby is 3. We had a fun birthday party at the house with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Everyone was there, well almost everyone; Jesse & Lydia were stranded in Australia on an unexpected extension to Jess' project. Jesse got a new plastic pool that he and his cousins played in. As always he got spoiled by his family with fun dinosaurs, tractors, coloring books, clothes and other crazy things but his favorite present had to be his batman pajamas (pictured) from grandma Pat; he wore them day and night for a week straight.

Jesse loves to play with his cars, climb and jump "to infinity and beyond", watch movies, visit grandma & grandpa, play with his cousins, play with his friends in the circle (Jake, Max & Isabel, Erin & Libby), go to church, run "I am speed", torment his sister, make his sister laugh, have his back tickled "ah, that feels good", and go anywhere and everywhere with "daddy".

The last thing I want to post regarding Jesse's birthday is that although we started using pull-ups several months ago and failed at a few attempts to get him potty trained, I am happy to report that Jesse is a big boy now. I explained to him that once he ran out of diapers that I wasn't going to buy them anymore. Even though he said he liked to go pee in his diaper he transitioned to underwear with relative ease. He especially enjoys the part about watering trees.
