We had Sophie's 3 year appointment today! It was at 230 and I had to wake her up from her nap so she was a bit grumpy. We had to wait a bit before we were seen but the pediatrician is wonderful and so kind. She spent a lot of time with us and we love how thorough and smart she is. While we were waiting she was really enjoying playing with the doctor kit.
Her stats:
Height: 38.5 inches (85th percentile)
Weight: 31 lbs (58th percentile)
She is such a big girl and so much fun to be around. After her appointment we just spent the day hanging out. We went to My Grandpa's house that night to open family presents and visit. He just loves her! I can't believe my baby Sophie is already 3 years old! Happy Birthday Sophie!
Some things about Sophie:
Her favorite animal is a puppy. She loves to read her caterpillar book and likes to keep it in her bed with her at night. She likes the color pink best. Her favorite foods are oatmeal, pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, apple slices, and any sort of juice. She likes to play with her dinosaurs, build towers with her legos, kick the ball around, jump on the tramp and swing outside, watch TV, and play in her kitchen. She also likes to read books and play with her dolls. She loves junk food and likes chips, french fries, and any candy she can get her hands on! She loves to count her numbers up and back down. She knows up to 15 in Spanish too. She also likes to name colors and shapes and can name about 15 different shapes. Her favorite restaurant is Jeremiah's and we eat breakfast there about once a month. She eats so good and just LOVES it. She loves seeing herself in mirrors. She likes to sing "popcorn popping" and sings along to lots of songs from Yo Gabba Gabba, Elmo, and some church songs. She doesn't like anyone else to sing with her though and gets mad. Her favorite activities would be going to the park, going to the dinosaur park, the kangaroo zoo, and swimming. She likes to dance around and is really full of energy.
Our typical day would be waking up around 8am and resting in bed with me or hanging out on the couch. We usually have some breakfast and then watch some shows on TV. Later we usually go play upstairs in the playroom with Sophie's kitchen. Sometimes we'll run an errand. She usually takes a nap between 1-2 and sleeps a few hours. We have lunch when she wakes up and play until Daddy gets home from work. We hang out more and usually have dinner, a bath, and get ready for bed. Our bedtime routine consists of brushing our teeth, getting in our PJs, and playing with puzzles in her room. Then we rock in the glider and read a book. If we would let her, she would take a billion different toys into her bed with her so we usually pick a few. Lately it's been a doll, a zhu zhu pet, a handful of books, and a stuffed animal. It used to be a set of flash cards, books, and a foam puzzle. She is so silly!
Sophie gets grumpy a lot and as my cousin pointed out she still does cry quite a bit over things. She gets sad when anyone leaves. She also has a hard time transitioning from one thing to another sometimes. She likes to be independent and do things all by herself. She has the funniest grumpy faces and I just have to laugh sometimes.
She is so sweet and loves hugs and kisses. She likes to dance and play. She is such a fun little personality and I love being with her. She has a lot to say and when she gets excited it sounds like she speaks a different language! She is so smart and loves to color, look at books, do puzzles, and point out different objects throughout the day. She likes being outside and espeically has liked riding the 4-wheeler this summer. We have had a great summer and a great three years! She is such a blessing and we are so lucky to have her in our family and in my life!
