Well here we are, three months into Blair's third year on this earth and I'm writing her first Quarterly Update. Much like the Monthly Updates I so studiously kept up with //sarcasm font//, these updates will help me remember the major milestones in her life and remind myself how cute she was when she inevitably turns into a teenager that's embarrassed by my mere existence.
Weight: 27 pounds
Height: 33.25 inches!
 |
| She looks like a such a big kid now! |
 |
| Snoozing at Grandma/Grandpa McClanahan's house in the Minnie Mouse big girl bed! |
Eating: Anything with "dip dip" or pizza. "Blair what do you want for dinner?" "Ummm, Pissa?"
She also asks for "chip and dip" all the time and "Me-nanas." And I don't want to jinx it, but she ((eats lots of vegetables)) now! Unless I try to hide them in her quesadilla, then all hell breaks loose.

| Operation Hidden Vegetables: Fail. |
Favorite Things:
FROZEN. ANNA. ELSA. SNOWMAN. SVEN. ICE. She particularly enjoys stealing my phone to play the Frozen soundtrack and dance around singing a surprising amount of the correct lyrics. And she always yells "Uh oh!" when the (spoiler alert?) parents' boat is shipwrecked and says "Baby Anna boo-boo head!" when Elsa hits her in the face with ice magic at the beginning of the movie. And every.single.time she asks "where snowman go?!" when he blows away in the Elsa-madness at the very end of the movie and then cries out "there he is!" when he comes back into the frame a few minutes later. She's also obsessed with the "Frozen Fever" short film, which only reinforces her love of "huppy birthdays"

| Judgey Blair is judging you. |
 |
| With her bestie "Snowman." If you tell her his name if Olaf, she will say "No, mama. No. Snowman!" |
Least Favorite Things:
Being sick. Poor thing has really had a rough go of it in the early part of the year, with several ear infections, a couple of colds and a case of the seasonal allergies. If she's having a really hard time, particularly with coughing, she'll come in our bed because it's easier than getting her back to sleep 1,000 times a night. We've had lots of sick day couch snuggles these past few months, which make me feel better about all the days off I've been taking!
 |
| Secretly, I love this. Even though on this particular day, she had vomited on 3 pairs of pajamas. |
Milestones: Potty training! She poops and pees on the potty a lot at school and sometimes at home. We're working on it and she's always very excited to try. The "Anna Elsie" panties help too, I'm sure. wink.
New Words:
I can't keep track anymore. She's speaking in full, coherent sentences, asking us questions, and making up stories - she is especially fond of telling us it's one of her toys' birthdays so we can have "cuckake and 'prinkles." She knows lots of foods too, thanks to an obsession with her play kitchen! One of these days I'll post a video of her chattering on about whatever the topic du jour is. It's adorable.
She is (slowly) learning the alphabet and identifies letters by calling them by the names of kids in her class "D is for D___, C is for C___, H is for H___..." It's so funny! She's also learning the numbers and is very interested in counting things. Although most of the time she skips straight over #3 and #4, for some reason.
She asks "Is it silly? Is it funny?" when we laugh at her antics and tells us all about the weather - "coudy, sunny, winny, and rainy." The weather vocabulary comes mostly from school (she's the weather girl sometimes at Circle Time) but I can take credit for teaching her cloudy and windy!
