Sisterly Love Video

Nothing says true love like this video....

Party #3

Colbie had a Frozen Tea Party and it was so much fun!  She loved getting to wear her Elsa outfit, drink tea (hot chocolate) with friends and "be fancy."  And I loved it because we only invited four little girls (Charlotte, Nora, Reese and Jaicey) who all have Moms who are my good friends which made it very fun and stress free!

Happy 4th Birthday Little Princess

New Words

Ashy has learned a few new words this month.  He is also looking like such a big boy!

Words he has recently learned:

Sissy "sh,sh" (Colbie is very excited about this)

Bubba, Bubbles, and Bye Bye which all sound like "bu-ba"

Beep Beep

banana "nana"

Cheese, says "eeeeese" whenever he sees a camera

Bath "Ba"

Bike Rider

Little Buddies

Ashton and Henry haven't interacted much yet, but recently really enjoyed each other at Seattle Gymnastics Academy.  Definitely future best friends!

Party #2

This was hardly a "party" but Colbie had a blast spending this sunny birthday weekend with her cousins.  The weekend included a treasure hunt to find her new Frozen bike, lots of gifts from my mom and sister, cupcakes, two trips to Red Robin (including a birthday song and sundae), lots of bike riding, outside play and trips to the park.  Ryder and Colbie also had their first real sleep over (Ryder slept on the floor in her room) and they did great!

Four Year Stats

Colbie's Four Year Stats

Weight: 31 pounds, 20th percentile
Height: 39.75 inches, 51st percentile
Body Mass Index: 10th percentile

She also had to get three shots.  She was very brave, wasn't really nervous and didn't shed a tear.  On the way home all she said was "It's not fun to get shots is it Mom?"

Colbie Turns Four

We had no idea four years ago how much this amazing girl would change our lives.  She brightens each and every day and brings us so much joy.  We are so proud of the confident little lady she has become.  She is our sensitive, social, cautious, independent (with tasks), loyal and amazingly sweet baby girl.
