Leah's Third Birthday

Leah's actual birthday fell on a Wednesday so both kids had school and Tim and I had work.  Leah brought in cupcakes to share with her friends at school; she was very excited to get to pick out a treat to bring in.  That evening, Cameron had a music lesson but then we wanted to go out for Leah's special day.  We let her pick where she wanted to go to dinner and she picked Friendly's.  It was not a surprise because it is by far her favorite place to eat!

One of our traditions is that every birthday, the birthday kiddo takes a picture with Mama.  Here are a few from Leah and I on her third birthday.

A nice picture

Silly Leah!

Leah also had her three-year old checkup.  She was very happy that she did not need any shots.  She was also excited because she was weighed on the big girl scale and was measured standing up (as opposed to laying down to be measured and being weighed on the baby/toddler scale).  They also checked her blood pressure, took her pulse and asked her some questions.  She did a great job listening to the nurses directions and was very proud of herself for being such a big girl.

The nurse also checked Leah's eyesight and hearing.  She did really well on the eye test - she was able to identify all of the pictures, even those in the small row.  Her hearing was fine too, although one of her ears didn't test correctly (the machine didn't work).  The doctor wasn't concerned about it at all, which is good given Cameron's history!  The rest of her checkup went fine too - no problems and she was very well behaved.

Here are Leah's three year old checkup stats:
Weight: 30 pounds, 43rd percentile
Length: 34.5 inches, 5th percentile

We knew she was tiny, but 5th percentile?  Our petite little flower! :)

Happy 3rd Birthday Leah - we love you so much!!!!
