Av's party was the evening of the 12th. She wanted it in the bug room at Kangaroo Zoo. We decided to run with the bug theme. She was very specific with her cake design preferences and ended up loving it so I'll call it a success! Her party was pretty much pandemonium but so much fun. I think we may have to hold separate family and friend parties in the future.
We didn't have church on the 14th due to Regional Conference so we spent the day having so much fun with Av. We played at the park, at macaroni and cheese, played with Melee for a couple hours, and opened more presents. We also watched the Chica Show wish Avynlee a happy birthday with a card we had submitted a few weeks before. It was such a fun filled birthday weekend!
Av had her three year old check up on March 17th. We thought she'd need shots so we kind if prepared her for being brave. She was so stoic the entire appointment and responded to every question very seriously. Then she didn't end up needing shots afterall! She even seemed slightly disappointed when we told her she didn't need shots but then ended up wanting to stay longer (she really loves Dr. Duffy) so we sat in front of the building while she enjoyed her sucker.
This adorable kiddo is still enormous. She is 40.16 inches tall (98%, more than three inches taller than average), and weighs 36.6 pounds (92%). Her speech is fantastic aside from her inability to say "f" and "v" sounds. She is super social and loves being in ballet and swimming lessons. She can count to about 15 and counts things specifically (not just listing numbers). She can identify the letter, sound, and a word beginning with that letter for almost every upper case letter and about half the lower case ones (mostly the letters which look alike). I post her responses to her birthday questionnaire soon. We sure love having this little buddy in our lives. She is so sweet, funny, smart, and beautiful. Happy Birthday, Avynlee!
