Leland is 3 years old today! I can't believe how fast he is growing up! I'm so not ready for him to be a big boy. He has grown so much, and hit so many milestones over this year. I'm so proud of him, but I kinda wish I could keep him little and cuddly forever. This past year has been a big year for him! So here is a look back at his 3rd year in pictures.

In May he became a big brother! He welcomed his baby brother, Kyan, inot the world on May 11th 2008. And he has been such a great big brother and help to mommy. At first Leland was a bit timid, but he soon warmed up to his baby brother, and now they are great playmates!

Leland also moved from his crib to his toddler bed. Here he is on his first night in his "big boy bed"

And here are a few unusual places he has fallen asleep in as well:

Leland also gave up his paci! It was waaaaayyyy easier than I ever thought it would be, and now he's paci free!

BEFORE... my little paci man

AFTER... Paci free!!!!

Leland has also been potty trained this past year. He just woke up one day and decided that he was ready to use the potty. In just one week he was going to the potty at home, out in public, and over night!

It's been a great year, and my little man as grown so much! Here are some of my favorite pics from the past year. They're in order so yo can see how much he has changed.

 

And I'll close with a recap of his past birthdays, so everyone can see they year by year progression of my first baby.
