Kaylynn's 3rd Birthday!!!!!
I seriously can't believe Kaylynn is 3 already!!! She is growing up waaay too fast!! She has had a busy year...she started doing gymnastics classes, first with mommy or daddy and then on her own! She started dance class, preschool, and speech!! Her speech is definitely improving, people are able to understand at least 50% of what she says now! So that's good! She continues to do speech through the school district twice a week for an hour!
We had Kaylynn's 3 year physical today and she is growing! She is 36.5 inches tall (about 40th percentile), which was a 2 1/2 inch growth from last year. Her weight is only 26lbs 4oz (about 9th percentile) and that was only a 1lb gain from last year. Her BMI is 13.85 (3.3%) and her blood pressure was 80/50! She's definitely on the smaller side, but she's growing!
Her pediatrician also wanted to have her blood drawn to test her for diabetes because of her excessive drinking. I have a feeling it'll be normal and that her drinking is just habit, but I'm glad the doctor is checking to make sure. She got one vaccine today, Hep A (I think), and she didn't cry at all! She didn't cry when we got her blood drawn either! She's sooo tough!
(*Update - her blood work came back normal, her excessive drinking is habitual and nothing medical! Phew!!)
For Kaylynn's birthday we went to Monkey Joe's (an inflatable jump place) with our friends, the Kaltenbach's, where they also did a "countdown to noon" for new years eve! For dinner we went to Chuck E Cheese. She seemed to have a very fun birthday!! Then we had Grandma/Grandpa, GG and Booma/Boompa over for pizza and cake on New Year's day!
Here are some pictures from Kaylynn's birthday:
The girls counting down to "noon"!
it's crazy because 6 months ago she needed a little help to do that!
