#wiggydiggy - 3 Years

#wiggydiggy | 3 Years

nicknames | bug, munchkin, baby

stats | 31 lbs (44%)  height 38 1/2" (77%)

clothes | 3T clothes and size 7 shoes  

sleep | You like your bedtime around 830PM and you wake around 630AM .  You are taking 1 nap a day at school (2 hours long).  Naps at home range from 2 to 3 hours.

eats | You eat big breakfasts and lunches, but dinner is hit or miss.  Sometimes it's one bite of everything and that's it.  Other times you clean your plate.  You eat applesauce by the gallon and expect at least two every night before bed!  

loves | SPORTS!  All sports all the time.  Your other love is Might Machines - aka Construction Equipment.   You know all of their names and could play for hours in the dirt digging and dumping with your trucks.  

dislikes | Having to stop playing for any reason.  

firsts | You have an amazing memory and come home singing new songs almost every day.  This year you started peddling your bike (instead of pushing using your feet), started your first chores (picking up toys and cleaning your plate after meals), and we finally turned you around in your car seat!  You moved to a new school and you are THRIVING.  

Mama |  You are so smart!  You sing so many songs and are constantly surprising me with your stories.  You love to snuggle and you are so excited to be a big brother.  Some days you still look like a baby to me.  Others I can see you as a teenager and my heart breaks a little.  As much as I want to keep you at this age; so inquisitive and happy, I know that you are growing up right before my eyes.  I love your imagination (like building your own T-Ball stand in our living room!  We didn't know you even knew about T-Ball stands!) and how you tell us stories about your day.  

I love you so much sweetheart.  I pray that as you grow you will keep your generous and kind heart.  (and please keep giving me 100 kisses a day.)

Daddy | You are 3 years old and wow how the time has flown by.  You are an amazing kid with an incredible vocabulary.  I hear regularly from people who marvel at how well you speak and how many words you know.  You are also my little busy bee whether it be your Tonka Trucks or your many sports interests.  I love you so much and I love each and every day I get to spend with you.  I love seeing your smiling face when I come through the door after work and I love hearing your laugh in the morning.  Happy birthday my dear boy!  Daddy

Friday 5 - Baby Purchases

After this past spring, we sold or gave away practically all of our baby stuff.

So with this very happy blessing, it's like we have to start all over again!  The only items I hung on to were some baby blankets.  No gear, no clothes, no toys.

Thankfully Black Friday and Cyber Monday came through for us!

First up

Car seat!

Amazon had a flash sale so I jumped on it as quick as I could.  I've never seen the price that low!  As long time lovers of Britax, this car seat was at the top of my list.

2.

Not necessarily for the baby....

A new carseat for #wiggydiggy

Another amazing sale (with an extra 15% off on Cyber Monday!).  The car seat in Justin's car just hasn't held up and we've had our eye on replacing it for a while.  We wanted a Britax Marathon  like we have in my car, but since #wiggydiggy only rides in dad's car to school, we bit the bullet and went for it.

3.

Another Cyber Monday score

It's not the exact color I wanted, but less than $40, I could.not.pass.it.up.

We plan to have the baby room in with us for at least the first 6-8 months (as long as they are nursing at night) so this was necessary!

4.

A bit of a splurge, but it was 50% off!

I loved my Beco, but I sold it.  WAH!  This carrier was second on my list at the time and I love the new 'zipper' feature.  It just arrived and it's so pretty!  Haha.

5.

Most importantly...

I updated my Amazon subscription so these suckers are arriving every month.  I'm hoping by the time baby arrives we'll have a stockpile to get us through the first year (or two!)

Side note - I love Amazon subscription.  I now have enough items on rotations (lotion, body wash, mascara, diapers, etc, etc, etc) that I get at least 20% off every month.  God Bless Prime.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!

If you do not EBATES, you SHOULD!!!  It's free money you are leaving on the table when you online shop.
