Our baby girl is three. I'm way overdue on a Roxy update, so here we go...
She weighs in at 35lb 4oz and is 38.75 inches tall - 80 percentile for both. She amazes me everyday with her brilliance, words, energy, and, yes, attitude. She runs the full spectrum for us from utter joy to grave frustration.
Her favorite things: playing with baby dolls; riding her trike; fruit snacks; buckling-in anything that fits in Everett's car seat; Wonder Pets (TV show); talking (she never stops); running around in circles in open-spaces; shredded tires (ground cover at the playground - aka french fries); blanket; rocks; and pretend driving.
Least favorite things (she is kind of a scaredy cat): bugs, any unfamiliar noises, the dark, bedtime, and when we try to make her poop on the potty. She has been peeing on the potty for well over six months, but she still won't poop on the porcelain throne. She asks for a diaper. At least she can put a pull-up on herself, go in the bathroom, and turn on the fan.
She: can say (not just sing) the alphabet; has a vast vocabulary - turbulence, uncomfortable, etc.; says how she is feeling - angry, sad, happy, frustrated;
Roxy is a great big sister. She hasn't showed any signs of jealousy, only a little acting out to try to get attention. She always wants to help and is very gentle with him. Today she said, "Everett is my favorite little guy!"
I adore her.
We spent the day with family at our house and made it an all day celebration. Nanny (my mom) was in town and I am so glad she was able to be here for that and to meet Everett. Somehow we lost a bunch of pictures through some technological glitch, but here is one.

Oh my gosh- that was precious. I miss you guys so much! Please tell Roxy that I love her and think she is the coolest girl in the world.
PS. I am afraid of bugs too...
Wait- are you saying that when R has to poop she gets a pull up, goes into the bathroom, puts it on, poops, then goes to you to wipe her up? Complex!! And creative :)
