Brielle You At 5!!!

It pains my heart you are getting so big!  5!  How did this happen, it flew by.

And I thought she looked big last year :(  She was just a baby!!!

4 years old....

What a difference a year makes...

2013...

* You weigh 37lbs that's the 35th percentile

*  You are 42 inches tall, Average for height, 50th percentile (you seem so tall to me, all your pants fit short)

* Your BMI is 40th percentile

* The Dr. predicts you will be 5'5.... just a tad shorter than me, I'm  5'5 1/2 :)

* You are a very independent girl, always have been (except for playing, you always want someone to play with you)  For the last year you have been getting yourself dressed, brushing your teeth, you make your own sandwiches a lot of the time, you get your own breakfast, and you are a huge help to me with Hason.

* We are in a talk back, trying to figure out who you are phase.  You have an answer for anything and always have to have to last word.  It's a bit trying for us but we will get through it.  I just hope you are this boisterous in high school when people are trying to get you to do stuff you don't want!

*You eat anything and everything still.  Except raw onions but you have decided you like cooked ones.  If there is something new you've never tried you will always give it a go to see if you like it :)

*You are starting to read and write.  You know over 50 sight words. You are so good at sounding out words and eager to learn to read, that makes us so proud!

*You don't have much interest in playing with toys, I almost have to force you!  You would much rather sit and color or create things.  You love to cut and paste and staple.  You love to make envelopes with letters inside especially since you can write now. You also love to make fans lol.

* You are currently doing cheer leading and awana once a week.  You love them both.

*Your chores involve feeding Neely, putting away the silverware, setting the table, picking up your toys, sorting socks, hanging up your clean shirts while I fold laundry, cleaning the glass on the doors and wiping the trash can down.

The Funny Things You Say:

- You call Mcdonalds... "Old Mcdonalds" haha I can't correct you cause it's too cute!

-The other day Dad was trying to comb your hair after your bath.  You kept bouncing around and he told you to sit still a dozen times.  Finally he yelled "sit still" and you said "I am!"  Then you went on to say that even though your are standing still you really aren't cause the earth is still moving.... LITTLE STINKER! 

-You call Monopoly "Banopoly"

-You don't say that things are real, you say they are "true"  I just love that.  For instance you tell us "Mom, Dad... did you know unicorns are true?"

-more times than not, when I'm asking Landon to do something or just giving him a hard time you will say "Dad don't listen to her, listen to you!"  You stick up for your daddy.

-We always thought she would love to go ice skating.  Apparently she never liked the idea cause this whole time she thought the ice could break and you would fall into water.  Bless her heart,  I wouldn't step foot on there either if that was the case.

-She says she speaks "flower mound" language and that it is the same as "Amarillo language" 

-She said the other day... "Well I'm almost 7, but right now I'm 4"
