1 Month Away from Turning 3

Daniel is actually getting way too close to turning 3 years old. In fact, he is only one whopping month from it, and his birthday party is a short two weeks away. I honestly cannot believe how quickly he is growing, and each and every day I am reminded at how blessed I am that God chose me to be his mom. I am honored (and challenged) to have the opportunity to raise him into the man of God I pray he one day becomes.

In his 35th month, Daniel:
Weighed 34 lbs.
Wore a size 8 1/2 - 9 in shoes.
Wore 3T clothes.
Completely potty trained
EXCEPT when asleep.
Counted to 15.
