Abby is THREE!!

Abby is THREE! She's growing so fast.
Height: 37 inches (up from 35" at age 2) = 50%
Weight: 30.2 lbs, (up from 27.8 lbs at age 2) = 50%

Those awesome PJs are hand-me-downs from Eve, one of Grant's friends. They have been in Abby's pajama drawer for 8 months or more, and I've been telling her she can wear them when she's three. Do you think she was excited to wear them?

Potty: Accidents are VERY rare, but have been more frequent with the remodel going on. She still wears a Pull-Up to bed.

Clothing: 2T & 3T tops and 2T bottoms

Sleeping: She usually sleeps 8 p.m. - 7:30 a.m., but over the past month she's been getting up at 5:30/45. UGH! One good 1.5 hour nap though.

Abby-isms: "I hold you!" and "But I WANT to!"
She'll chant "Tony Romo - bam, bam, bambambam".

When we drop the kids off at school, we always remind Grant to be on green (behavior chart). She tells us that she stays on pink & purple. There is no behavior chart in her room, but to her pink & purple are the good colors so that's what she wants to be on.

Favorites:

Food: Ketchup and "Cheerios" (not together) The "Cheerios" get quotes because a long time ago, I started mixing Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Now that's her go-to for breakfast and snacks. Shocker - she eats the sugary stuff first.
Movie: Frozen
TV Show: Paw Patrol and Dora
Book: Richard Scarry's "Best Word Book Ever" - she loves it.
Toy: Usually, whatever Grant is playing with.
Milestones:
She can say the letters in her name but can't write it yet.

She can count to 20 in English and tries really hard to count to 15 in Spanish.
She can dress himself, but she still needs help with shirts.

She's been to the dentist three times and does really well every time (well - except the first trip, which was more of a wrestling match).

We had her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese the day before Thanksgiving. Abby LOVED Chuck E!!

I think she had a good time!
