Laney's 3 Year Well Check

Laney had her appointment today with Dr. Kleber (or as Laney calls her, Dr Courtney). Laney did very well at her appointment answering most of the questions she was asked. Dr Kleber wanted to see how she was developing, and was very impressed.

Here are Laney's 3 Year Stats:

Weight: 26 lbs (between the 3-10%...not on the chart)

Height: 34 3/4 inches (a little under 10%)

Of course, I wanted to check to see how much our little squirt grew in a year....and found that last year, she was 22.6 lbs and 32 7/8 inches. Unfortunately, she might not get to ride all of the waterslides when we go to Holiday World this summer. If I remember correctly, you had to be 36 inches. Who knows, maybe she'll hit a growth spurt!

As far as what Laney's accomplished this year, here we go:

• Completely, 100% potty trained. No diapers, pull ups or anything. Miss Laney went from diapers at 27 months to panties. No pull ups were ever used on her. What a BIG girl!
• Knows her ABC's and can recognize all letters. We're working on lower case and she is picking up on it really well!
• Can count to 20, sometimes higher....but she gets bored doing it so stops
• Knows her rights & lefts
• Is doing very well at gymnastics. Her favorite seems to be beam and vault. Her least favorite is probably floor. She hates doing the stretches at the beginning of class. Too slow paced for her, I guess!
• LOVES LOVES LOVES her brother Max. She likes when he comes into her room to play with her. We have to constantly remind her that he is a lot smaller than her (not by much though!)
• Doing very well at school and children's church on Sunday. It took awhile for her to trust the people in there (and that Mommy was coming back for her!). She now looks forward to going to school and loves when a neighbor boy is at church (he's 13, I think she has a little crush!).
• Her favorite toys seem to be puzzles. She's moved up to doing jigsaw puzzles now and loves them.
• Favorite cartoons are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Little Einsteins
• Favorite movies are Alvin & the Chipmunks, Madagascar, & Lion King

Miss Laney is very independent. Everything needs to be done "BY. MY. SELF" And if you tell her something, you have to prove to her that you're telling her the truth. For example, "Laney, we are out of those chips" "Show me, Mommy. Let me see!" Oh, the fun times ahead!
