Happy 3rd Birthday, Lochlain!!

And so it was, 3 years ago today, that Lochlain James Meagher entered the world. Weighing in at 8 lbs., 7 oz and measuring 21" long, the Lochinator now weighs more than 4x his birth weight and has gotta be at least 2x the height (but we'll have official totals next week after his checkup). Check out the progression:

Lochlain - 3 days old. Fun Fact: Daddy changed his first diaper!


Lochlain - 1 year old. Fun Fact: Lochlain has already been walking for over 3 months!


Lochlain - 2 years old. Fun Fact: Lochlain loves spoons and carries them wherever he goes.


Lochlain - 3 years old. Fun Fact: Lochlain has gone native - he used the phrase "right quick" in conversation with Mommy and Daddy the other day.

We went to Lochlain's daycare today for his birthday party. Lochlain picked out a Spiderman theme, so we had Spiderman plates, napkins, and gift bags for all his friends (did you know there was black playdoh?). We also brought some cupcakes and cheese doodles to put on those plates. Here are pictures of everyone having a good time:

Loch's class enjoying their cupcakes and cheese doodles - some enterprising young ladies even dipped their cheese doodles in their icing......


Now,the funny thing about this picture is that Loch is telling Bean that he really doesn't like his cupcake, yet he...won't....stop.....eating.....it.....

Of course, I thought the real highlight to be when the class got together to sing "Happy Birthday" to Lochlain:



Though maybe it did go to his head a little - as evidenced by the following picture of him showing off his physique:

"Tickets to the Gun Show are HOW MUCH?!?!?!?!?"
