Three Years Old!

Happy Birthday, Hankasaurus!
 

Hank is a thoughtful, outgoing and affectionate little boy (oh, and quite verbal, too).  He's definitely more on the cautious side now, as he no longer fearlessly climbs high jungle gyms or comes down high slides the way he did a year ago (he says he'll do this when he's a little older).

He loves his carbs and still avoids meat at all costs (except for turkey bacon).  Hank even has a favorite utensil - a yellow spoon with green dots.  It's the best part of every meal.

As far as interests go, Hank enjoys dinosaurs, trains, cars, trucks, blue blanket, green blanket and books.  Lately, Hank is into pretending to be various types of monsters, dragons, dinosaurs and animals.  His favorite shows are Go Diego Go and Mike the Knight.

He naps 2 hours a day and sleeps about 11 hours each night. Hank is also left handed, but appears to be right footed in sports.  We can't wait to see what changes come this next year. We love you soooooo much!

Here's the little guy's stats:
Height: 36.6 inches (10-20th%tile)
Weight: 28.2 pounds (20th %ile)

First Time on Skates

This morning we headed to Lake Evergreen for Hank's first ice skating adventure.  Hank enjoyed skating fast with Mommy and Daddy.
 He also enjoyed cruising with his buddy, Rochelle.
 Here are some of Hank's graceful first steps on the ice . . .

Looks like Hank has found another way to enjoy our gorgeous Colorado winters!

Fun Friday with Jennie

Today we traveled to Lafayette to visit our friends, the Rabes.  Hank and Jennie were silly and full of smiles. Can't ask for much more than that!

Parent Night at school with Daddy

Tonight was Parent Night at Hank's school.  Hank moved up to the primary classroom (ages 3-6) last week and he was thrilled to show off his new classroom to Daddy.  
 While there, Hank demonstrated some of his classroom "work" expertise:  
opening and closing latches, 
  scooping,
and using tongs.  
All this work and Hank's ready to get back to school in the morning!

Joining JJ for his 3rd Birthday

 Today we headed to the Children's Museum to celebrate Hank's buddy, JJ's, 3rd birthday.  
The boys really got into playing with all the balls.
Hank also enjoyed being a firefighter as he practiced sliding down the pole.
 After working up an appetite, everyone enjoyed some lunch and cupcakes.
 What a great way to spend a good friend's birthday.  Happy birthday, JJ!

Tots and Tu B'shevat

This morning we hosted an early Tu B'shevat seder at our home with our congregation's Tot Chavurah to celebrate the trees.
The kids had a great time trying various tree fruits and nuts.
 Hank especially liked sitting in Daddy's lap where he tried pistachios for the first time. He loved them!
Happy Birthday to the trees!
