2 Year Check-up

Went to the Dr. for Arlee's 2 year check-up yesterday.  Every things good as usual.  I'm not sure what her height and weight was for sure they said she was 90% for her height and head, and 50% for her weight.  I think she was 28 lbs, and maybe 36 inches tall.  She was scared to get on the scale so I was trying to convince her it was okay, and wasn't paying attention to what the nurse told me.  Dr. told me that according to the questionnaire we fill out Arlee is very advanced doing what 3 yr olds do.  Yay!!  They had us do a led test, where they poke your finger and squeeze blood out in a tube.  She didn't cry!!  First time with no tears!!  Prob because they gave her a sucker.  Summer is finally slowing down a little for us, time to relax a little for the next few weeks.

More Birthday Fun!

I had posted some pics from Arlee's party earlier but I hadn't had time to talk about her birthday.  We had her party last Sunday at the Central Park Pavilion.  We had a great turnout all of our family and close friends were able to make it.  I had plenty of help getting the building decorated while Wayco stayed home with Arlee, I wanted her to be surprised.  She was definitely surprised when she walked in and saw everyone and all her fun b-day decorations.  She loved her cake, she loved the owls.

That wasn't the end of her b-day stuff, when Thursday, her actual b-day, rolled around we went to the Oklahoma Aquarium with my friend and her daughter who shares the same b-day as Arlee.  It was Arlee's longest car ride ever. She got a little impatient about half way there, so I gave in and let her have a sucker for the first time.  That totally occupied her time for the rest of the way there.  The aquarium was fun but i kinda expected more from it.  The girls really enjoyed it so that's all that maters. The car ride home went great.  Now we are ready to make the big Branson trip in September.  When we got home Arlee had a big birhday surprise waiting for her at home.  Daddy had been slaving away in the backyard putting together Arlee's new swingset.  Th only thing was they didn't give us all the pieces and we couldn't attach he swing part, so Arlee just has a slide for now.  She didn't care shee has been going up and down the slide constantly.  Everytime she looks outside and see's her slide she wants outside!!

I have one more thing to share, yesterday from 2:30 til 8:30 Arlee pottied in her potty chair several times and had no accidents!!  So proud of her! 
Oh and one more thing haha, Arlee has figured out how to escape from her crib, she's getting her toddler bed today, wish us luck!!!!
