4 Year Old Stats and Ballet

Last month I took Lilly in for her four-year-old wellness check-up. She did wonderful, as usual. She is now in the 95th percentile in height and the 70th percentile in weight. So she has gone up 5% in height. I am thinking that someday she will be just as tall and skinny and beautiful as her Aunt KA.

She was a champ with her shots. She had to get three of them and of course she didn't even flinch. She is amazing!

Lilly has been going strong with her ballet class. We just finished up a 10 week course, and she will start another class in January. I have asked her many times if she would like to do something different but she always chooses ballet. She just LOVES it!

Lilly's friend Brielle was not happy that I was taking this picture!

The Farm

While Lilly and I were at my parents house last June, my dad took lots of pictures of Lilly. That is usually my job, but at the time I was pregnant and SO very sick. My mom took care of Lilly for me for three weeks while I laid on the couch and vomited. My dad liked to take Lilly out in the mornings and evenings to feed the animals. It gave my mom a good break and it was great bonding time for my dad and Lilly. Lilly loves Grandpa's farm. She loves all the animals and the miles of open land. She tells me daily that she wishes that we could live there.

She even helped my dad milk the goats!

One day, on the way to feed the animals, Lilly was running and tripped right into a big mud puddle. She hung her head and said, "But...I didn't want to get muddy!" I think she was a little offended that my dad would even think of taking her picture at a time like this, so she continued to hang her head.
