Happy Birthday to our little Caroline. She was very excited to have a rainbow cake and this is what I came up with. She also now wants balloons almost every time we go to Walmart.
At her well check visit on July 21 she measured:
Weight: 29.1 lbs (30th %)
Height: 37.5 in (57th%)
That's a pretty significant jump in the height category. Tall and skinny... lucky gal.
When we asked what she wanted for her birthday she said, "friends." Thankfully we have a few cousins around who are also friends so they joined us for a party.
A little about Caroline:
~She is a little parrot. Now I know she heard me when I told her to "chew and swallow" because she's very good at telling her brother to do the same.
~She is an older sister and all that that entails. Ben already has two moms.
~She is mostly potty trained. She still wears a diaper for naps and bedtime. She also refuses to poop in the potty- despite our many attempts at bribery.
~She loves nursery at church.
~She still naps during the afternoon, although she is fighting bedtime more and more. But she is a bear without a nap so we're going to keep on keeping on.
~She loves watching shows (Especially Daniel Tiger) and playing with the ipad. It's the first thing she asks for most mornings. I have mixed feelings about it.
~She loves cheese. Not only because of cheese, but we actually have to give her mira-lax everyday- I think some of her bad experiences are why we have potty troubles now.
~She loves to dance.
~She loves her grandpas and grandmas.
~She likes to "help" mom.
~She is really good at saying "no"
~ She seemed to get much more opinionated, bossy, and defiant when she turned three.
~Loves playing outside and in the water.
~She can be a very good helper with her brother and they can play really nicely together... when she's not pulling on the back of his shirt tackling him.
~She is liking arts and crafts more and more.
