Belated Birthday

The Princess turned three in February & I finally got around to uploading the pictures to our computer. I can't believe how fast she has grown! She had her three year checkup at the doctor yesterday, also belated by my fault. (I kept forgetting to make the appointment!) Since she was a baby, she's always been around the 50th percentile for height & weight. Well, that's all changed in the last year. She is now 67th in height & 80th in weight. She has definitely grown & is doing very well. (BTW- she & The Archangel are the same weight, even though they are almost two years apart!!)

When we arrived at the doctor's, she did very well in the waiting room & getting measured after the nurse called us in. As soon as we went into the exam room & I set her on the table, her face scrunched up & she started to cry. The Prophet had been talking to her about shots & she thought she was getting one. The nurse & the doctor both said that she was all caught up for age three. No more crying! She sat very still throughout her exam, but I could tell she was apprehensive - eyeing the doctor the whole time as if she didn't believe there were no shots.

Everything checked out well. He even checked her reflexes, which usually don't work until age five. My Princess is advanced for her age - both knees reflexed! Makes a mother proud ;)

She wanted Disney Princesses for her birthday theme. I usually make the munchkins' birthday cakes, but on this day I just didn't have the energy. So, my mom picked up at an angel food cake. I colored some icing a light turquoise & placed a Little Mermaid candle in the center. The Princess was pleased w/ my efforts, even though I didn't do much. FYI - icing, no matter how soft it is, does not spread well over angel food cake. Oh well, I just told everyone it was the sand from the beach!

Peace,
