Jacob is 3!

Jacob turned 3 yesterday. Wow. He was so excited for his birthday, he's been asking me everyday for over a month if it was his birthday. Yesterday when he came into Gavin's room in the morning as I was feeding Gavin the look on his face was like "I know its my birthday. Ta-da!" So cute. I had him wake Fred up and then we went downstairs to open one present, then we had to set-up the race track and play cars for while. Then we had MOPS. Then Mom, Dad, and Mary Ann came down to take us all out for lunch - Jacob is not a big eater, but he appears to have high end tastes, so we got to go to The Rain here in Chaska. He got a grilled cheese that he ate with his Tomato Basil Coconut soup and then got Creme Brulee for dessert. After his nap he got to go to gymnastics. Then he got to open the rest of his presents and have chocolate cupcakes and ice cream. I think it was a pretty fantastic birthday, all except the naptime battle.

Tomorrow Jacob's playgroup friends are coming over to celebrate with him and then on Saturday we'll do the family birthday party.

Both boys had check-ups last week. Gavin weighed in at 18 plus pounds and measured 25.5 inches. Jacob was 33.5 pounds and 37.5 inches. Dr Bob asked Jacob if he wanted to be a Dr when he grew up and Jacob said "yes and then you can be a Jacob Middendorf". Hmm.
