Little Man turns 3


It's crazy how fast those three years went by.  Karl is such a mellow little guy.  He plays well on his own but likes to play with his sisters too.  He's standing up to his bossy older sister and has stopped body-slamming his younger sister (thankfully).  He loves listening to stories as long as they're about things that go.  He's branched out recently into space ships and boats, giving us a wider selection of books to choose from at the library.  Fire trucks, construction, and monster trucks are still his favorite.  He's been acting out being a fireman, a monster truck, etc. with plenty of loud noises and running through the house.  He loves tickles and snuggles and being swung around in the air.  He's got a temper when things don't go his way but he bounces back to smiles pretty quickly. 


Karl wanted a "construction cake" for his birthday.   Baking a simple 9x13 and putting toys on top is my idea of a great cake (as long as it's the Grandma's Chocolate recipe).  He was pretty excited about it too.  
Karl is singing a song he made up: "Dump trucks and loaders... and big excavators..."
Getting ready to blow.

Karl eats a little cake with some help from a backhoe.

Amy, he is so cute! I was just looking at pics on fb from when Logan and Jeni got married and I remembered that your little Karl was born the same weekend. I think it's time to change your sidebar pics of the kids though. ;)
