Emma Kate's 3 Year Check-Up

On Wednesday (5 days after turning 3), I took Emma Kate to Dr. Hayes for her check-up. It's odd now only going once a year for a check-up. She had a great visit, especially since there were no shots this time. While we were waiting, I did the "Ages & Stages" questionnaire & she loved being quizzed. I would ask her to copy my straight line, circle, horizontal line, jump with both feet leaving the floor, standing on one foot, stacking objects, telling me her full name, etc.
Emma Kate is developing great. That's honestly one of the things I'm most thankful for...healthy children with growing bodies & minds!

3 Year Old Stats:
Weight: 32.6 pounds (50%)
Height:  3 feet 1 1/2 inches (65%)

Fun comparison of "little" brother who is 10 1/2 months younger:
At 2 years old Jackson is:
Weight: 31lbs 10 ounces (85%)
Height:  35 inches (1 inch shy of 3 feet) (70%)

A 3 Year Old Birthday Weekend

This is Emma Kate's 3rd birthday weekend wrap up. It was nice to already have had the big joint party for her & Jackson so this past weekend we were able to celebrate as a little fam & with 2 of our best friends from Arkansas, Carrie & Jamie. I feel so much joy & happiness when I see my best friends loving on my children.  (not only Carrie & Jamie, but I'm referring to the truest of the true best friends that are there no matter what. I'm lucky enough to have a close group of exactly those people in my life.)
I must do a flashback of Carrie & Jamie when they came to visit exactly 3 years ago...they came to meet my 5 day old baby girl.

Back to this weekend: Friday night was Chuck E Cheese, Saturday we played, made a park trip, us girls had lunch, got mani/pedis, shopped a bit, then came back home to play out back with the kiddos, feed them a picnic dinner, & they us girls went out for some RA sushi & drinks, & Sunday morning we all went to Original Pancake House before the girls headed back to AR. Overall, it was just perfection!!

 Total kid thing to do!

 Love these 2!!

 Singing time.

 Very happy about the cupcake & it was pink so that was even better!
 Carrie the cupcake passer out lady. ha!
 Saturday morning play time in their jammies
That face melts me!
 He needs a little assistance bouncing so Carrie helped her younger "man-friend" out!
Counting & jumping together
 Walking back to the park. EK & Jack couldn't get enough of 1,2,3 swing!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Emma Kate!!

Today at 3:13pm will mark 3 years ago that Emma Kate entered the world! Brett & I became parents to the most wonderful baby girl & she's even more wonderful than we could have EVER imagined! She truly makes me the luckiest mama in the world.
She's having a pretty fab day today...opened some gifts this morning, then we went to meet our Friday playgroup at the Village in Fairview fountains, grabbed Chick Fil A on the way home (her request), now napping, & when the kids wake up we're heading to Chuck E Cheese for bday dinner & games. Plus, Aunt Jamie & Carrie are driving down from Arkansas to spend the weekend with us!! Yay!
Here are a few pictures from today & a flashback to April 27, 2009.
Welcome to the world, sweet Emma Kate! 

In love with her new Princess vanity/piano that plays Disney songs. :))
