Three year old Judah


Judah's Stats:
Weight: 36 pounds, 50th percentile
Height: 38 1/2 inches, 75th percentile

Judah's Favorite Foods:
Thankfully, Judah will eat most anything.  There are a few things he won't eat, like most veggies and hamburgers.  Not sure why he won't try a hamburger.  He loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, applesauce, watermelon (he calls it "yatermeyon"), apples, strawberries, ice cream, gummies, chicken nuggets, french fries, spaghetti, broccoli cheese soup, pizza (He will say, "Mama, lets go to Target and get some pizza.", since our Target has a Pizza Hut in it.), hot dogs without buns, "salad eggs", flat eggs, scrambled eggs and Brownie Clif bars.  He does not like cheese at all, which is odd since he will eat pizza and the broccoli cheese soup.

Judah's Favorite Activities:
Judah loves the iPad.  He would play it all the time if we let him.  For that matter, he would be a couch potato if we let him.  He loves to watch cartoons.  He also loves to play in sand and if we are out on a walking trail and there is a sandy, dusty spot, he will plop down and draw in the dirt.  And he builds mountains out of the dirt.  He enjoys dressing up in Superhero costumes (which last all of 5 minutes) and enjoys going places with me.  And whoever else might be going somewhere.  There are many times we will be on the way home and he will start crying and say, "No home! No home!"  He loves to be on the go.

Judah's Favorite TV Shows:
Judah loves to watch vintage Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck cartoons on YouTube.  We have had to hide YouTube on the iPad, since it is a rabbit trail and he can find all kinds of stuff on there.  Other favorites are Sonic Underground, Bubble Guppies, Wow Wow Wubbzy and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Judah's Favorite Books:
Judah loves If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Dog a Donut.  When Mimi comes in, he  always wants her to read those two books.  He also loves some Spiderman board books I found at the Dollar Tree and Michael's.  We read them quite a bit.

Judah's Favorite Music:
Judah is a fan of music and loves this one song by the Avett Brothers called, "Pretty Girl from Cedar Lane".  He requests to listen to it every time we are in the van.  He says, "Mama, play "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, moment" song!  Which is how the song starts.

Judah was so easy going at the age of 2.  He has ramped it up a ton since he has turned 3.  He is so dad-gum cute when he is bad, so sometimes it makes it difficult to discipline.  He is way more into things than Lawson was.  He climbs the furniture (and has pulled the dresser over on himself-thankfully he was between it and the wall instead of under it) and likes to jump off the couches and coffee table onto the floor.  He also breaks things and rips pages out of books.  And takes bites out of anything made of foam (Hulk Smash gloves, pool noodles, Thor hammer, etc...so weird).  He has been banned from certain books since I can't trust him with them.  His articulation is getting better and better.  There are still times when I have difficulty understanding what he is saying, but he will demonstrate what he is saying, which helps tremendously.  (I was telling him the story of the Three Little Pigs and named them Lawson, Judah and Finn.  He wanted me to have a house that the big bad wolf blew down so he kept telling me I had one made out of "jars".  I kept asking him to show me and he made a sucking motion to show he meant "straws".)  He also uses "me" instead of "I", but we are hearing "I" more often.  He is a bundle of energy and we love him!!!!!!

Owen used to eat all our foam toys too!! And, rip pages out of books! Occasionally, he still tears up books for no reason. Those second-born boys...
