Ollie Russ is 3

Somehow time just keeps going by faster and my sweet little baby is already 3 years old.

I always joke that Ollie is something straight out of a movie, like Andy in Toy Story. He is so content playing with his toys all by himself. And as much as he LOVES playing with his Sissy if things get too crazy he goes to his room and starts playing with his "guys".

He insists on chocolate milk in the morning, don't even try to give him regular. On mornings where there is no work or school I love waking up to him whispering "chocy?" to me. :)

I have no idea how long these curls are going to stay blonde so I'm enjoying them now! I don't think he would look like himself without his long crazy curls. Although in the pic below he looks more Doc Brown than Oliver Russell. :)

He is still a little cuddle bug (thank the Lord!) he can wrap his whole body around my arm or leg for the best cuddles.

We said bye bye to his binkie a few weeks before turning 3. 

This boy loves to jump, have someone swing him around and fly like Buzz.

He completely OWNS me! I'm a sucker for this sweet little smile. 

He is daddy's best buddy.

and I think Uncy is his hero. He LOVES to play with Will. 

He loves his guitar and acting out movies. His favorites are Toy Story (1, 2, 3 and all holiday specials), Rock Dog and Book of Life.

He loves puzzles and is great at putting them together by himself but gets SO frustrated if he gets stuck on a piece.

He loves his Sissy and copies everything she does.

We haven't hit the point of tantrums yet. I mean he gets mad and throws a fit but when he's in trouble he will sit in his timeout and be done. No fighting, kicking, screaming.

He is our picky eater. If it were up to Ollie he would eat pizza and mac n cheese every night. 

He is so polite, he does such a great job using his manners.

When PawPaw asks him whose boy he is he always starts with PawPaw's boy, but if  others (me and my mom) start saying "Hey! Whose boy are you?" he always changes his answer to "Ollie's boy".

Every time we drive by the trampoline park he asks to go, it is his favorite place.

He doesn't have an item he sleeps with every night. It's always something random. Buzz Lightyear, a lego guy (ouch), his fishing pole...all over the place. 

When he knows he can't have anymore dessert he will wave his little finger and say "no more candy"

There is no word big enough to describe my love for this boy. He owns a piece of my heart that I didn't even know was up for grabs. He just completes our family in the best way. I thank God every night for this sweet boy and the fact that I get to be his mom.

He is truey the Best. Kid. Ever.
