z turns 3 with hank the bear

whoops! ever since z was 2 months old i have been taking his picture next to his huge teddy bear, hank. monthly for the first year and then yearly since then. but this year i didn't get to it! i didn't forget but the things were hectic and i didn't get to it til now. oh well. he was a little grumpy when we did these pictures, but instead of re-doing them i thought what the hell, might as well keep it real, huh?  so here it is, pictures with a three year old:

haha and here are some of the other wonderful ones to choose from:

here are years one and two, respectively:
