Doctor's Visit

We took Amelie and James to their well-child checks today.

Amelie was a little restless at her 3-year appointment. She didn't want to stand still for a picture -- playing with the curtain was much more fun.

Waiting on the doctor with Dad:

And here are those vital statistics!

Height: 36.5 inches - That's just over 3 feet tall, or 33rd percentile

Weight: 31.8 pounds - 59th percentile

Here are some things that Amelie is doing now that she's three:

• Is very imaginative - she makes up stories and songs and elaborate games to play
• Can cut with scissors and use tape and glue
• Draws straight lines and circles
• Knows the alphabet
• Recognizes most letters and initial sounds of words
• Rhymes words
• Memorizes favorite books and songs
• Counts reliably to 12 and recognizes most numbers
• Makes jokes
• Climbs 
• Kicks and throws a ball
• Can lock and unlock doors
• Can take herself to the potty if her clothes are not complicated
• Tests boundaries frequently, but is able to get along with fewer meltdowns than before

Here's the link to her 2-year visit.
