Gibs' 3 Year Stats

Gibs had his three year appointment in January and I believe he was 75-90th in in everything which surprised me a bit. 
Height: 39"
Weight: 35 lbs (He is now a few pounds more than Layla!)

He is definitely FULL of energy and all boy.  He has been incredibly whiny lately and so we are hoping that this is a short lived phase:).  He can be so sweet which is especially fun to see when that sweetness is shown to his sisters (although, trust me, he can also be not so sweet to both of them!).  We just potty trained a couple of weekends ago (I wanted to wait until after our Disney trip) and it went SO much better than I had anticipated.  Layla was so easy to train that I thought for sure with his strong-willed and high-energy personality that he would be the difficult one.  I am happy to say that I was very wrong.  Other than a couple of mistakes the first few days, he has not had any more mistakes and always tells us when he needs to go.  It's strange now only having one kid in diapers!  We love our little guy and love seeing him interact with is sisters.  He is so sweet yet so tough that I can't wait to see what a great big and little brother he will grow in to.  He can also be such a goofball.  Recently, his jokes often include the words underpants or mustaches.  He seems to catch on quickly to which things people laugh at and apparently those got the best reaction from others, so he now likes to throw them into his stories randomly.  Trying to explain to him that there are times when he shouldn't be talking about underpants seems to only make it worse, so we are now attempting to just not say anything and hoping he drops it eventually:).  He definitely does not understand having a filter.  The other day while waiting at Layla's dance class he announced to those around him that his fruit snacks were making him toot:).  Such a typical odd Gibs comment:).  He loves making people laugh so that will be interesting to see too how that changes as he ages.  I just signed him up for threeschool this week (for next fall) and just last month he started Young Children's Worship at our church.  We love our silly yet sweet little Gibs and feel so blessed to have had in our lives for three years already!!  Time sure flies!
