4 years old... summer check-in, checkup

Where has the summer gone??? With me being sick and drs appts, Daddy's travel, dance class, and having so much fun at summer camp it seems we blinked and the summer is already gone.  There's still a few more weeks and that's filled with more dance, a few more weeks of camp, and visits by both Yaya and Grandma.  4K will be here soon whether we're ready or not.

Our girl had her 4 year check up and notice I didn't say "our little girl"... little she is no longer! 
She clocked in at:

• 39 lbs (75 %-tile)
• 41.5 inches (90%-tile)... yes, 90th!

Seriously, our tiny princess who started out in the world at just 4.15lbs and 18.25 inches and didn't make it to 50th-tiles until she was 2 is now in the upper regions.  Our pedi said she is doing great and very healthy.  We're having him check her blood pressure since high BP does run in our families... she's good for 4 yr olds at 104/62. 

Our little Miss is having a ball right now in summer camp and dance.  In camp she's learned to write her name (and those of her friends) in a straight line. Her coloring is amazing and she's staying in the lines really well now (I mean if coloring can be "amazing".. lol!). She enjoys dance so much and really listens and tries to learn the steps the teacher does each week.  We'll definitely be trying to get her into the class at her school this year.

Other things she's loving: her "computer" (leappad), playing "fetch"... yes fetch... with Jules, "braiding" my hair, movie nights at home with Daddy and me, going to the zoo, eating at restaurants, bubbles and crafts.  Her love of music hasn't faded.  She likes singing songs from the radio with me on the way to school.  She even learns a few lines from friends at school or from dance class.  She'll ask for Adele's Rumor Has It, or Train's Driveby so we can sing together.

She's definitely coming into her own and we are seeing true opinions and disagreements at times.  We're working through these and the frustrations that come as she's learning to express herself.  Oh the trying times of a 4 yr old!

Of course we got 4 year pictures... here's just a few below.  To see them all from our session taken by Crystal Brisco Photography go to our Flickr page.
