Big three

/

Over the weekend, Bubby had his first of several celebrations scheduled for marking his third birthday. What a remarkable year it has been, filled with fun and firsts as he moved from toddler hood to the big three.

Bubby had his first move to a new home, this one with a dedicated playroom:

Bubby, Mommy, and Daddy had their first real family vacation, to Sea World:

He colored Easter eggs for the first time:

He had his tonsils and adenoids removed:

And he got his very first big-boy bike:

Through all that, he attended his very first full school year of preschool:

Then summer arrived, and Bubby took his very first swim lessons:

But the biggest change of all for Bubby as he transitioned from age two to age three, was going from being an only child to a being a big brother. All indications are that he'll do just fine:

Happy birthday to my incredible Big B! May your third year be the best yet!

Today's question:

What has been the highlight of your past 365 days?

Double takes and doppelgangers

When Bubby was born nearly three years ago, he weighed 6 pounds, 13.9 ounces and was 19.75 inches long.

When Baby Mac was born nearly one week ago, he weighed 7 pounds, 11.5 ounces and was 20 inches long.

You'd think the extra pound or so would make a difference in looks. But it didn't, not one single ounce.

As proof, get a load of this — Mac is on the left, and Bubby, at pretty much the same age and in the same baby seat, is on the right:

Non-twin babes can't look much more alike than that, I say!

Be prepared for the double-takes and doppelganger references sure to come, here on Grandma's Briefs.
