Happy 3rd birthday, Sadie

The theme of Sadie's 3rd birthday by request was Doc Mcstuffins.  In the days leading up to her birthday we counted down and talked about what she wanted for her party.  Her requests for this year's celebration were for:

1. a big party
2. grammie to make a purple cake
3. everyone to sing happy birthday to her
4. Doc Mcstuffins candles 
5. a purple party hat

Pretty easy to satisfy :)  Daddy, Mommy, and Callie also surprised her at school and brought Jamba Juice for her whole class, which she was thrilled about.  It was neat to see how excited she got this year, as I think this was really the first year she kind of understood what was going on, lol.




3 year check up (10/2/13):
Sadie is in good health, however her 3 year old "stats".... were quite surprising.  She no longer is in the 80/90-percentiles for height, she is now 3' 1.5" = 55% and her weight is up at 29 lbs = 32%.  Today was also the first time she had her blood pressure taken - 78/49! (sounds low to me, but i guess that's normal for a child).  She enjoyed her visit with the doctor and took it all in as the nurse took her height, weight, bp, and temperature.   She walked in with her Doc Mcstuffins stethoscope around her neck, which gave the staff a good laugh.  She also made me laugh and think "wow she really knows what's going on these days" when she asked me on the car ride there "mommy...the doctor going give me shots today??"  Luckily for her, her temperature was slightly high, so they said she could told off on the shots till next week at Callie's 1 year appointment.  (Poor daddy - he will have 2 crying girls after they're done next week!)
