You know your baby girl is a BIG girl when...

at her 4 year old check-up she...
  • has to get her blood pressure checked!
  • has to do a hearing test by raising her hand when she hears the beep!
  • has to do a vision test by telling the names of the pictures!
  • has to have her finger pricked!
  • has to tee tee in a cup!
Today, I took my 4 year old "BIG" girl for her check-up and reality set in! She is growing up way too fast! It made me very sad in so many ways but happy too that she is doing so well and is such a happy, healthy girl! She weighed in at 35 lbs and was 40 in. tall. That is a big difference from the 4 pounder I brought home only 4 years ago! Lyla is doing so many things that it is hard to tell you all of them. The other day Ashley and I sat amazed as she began counting and continued past 10 all the way to 20 and higher! She knows all of her colors and shapes and can even write her name. She loves to "read" books by retelling them. It amazes me how she read them back to you almost word for word after hearing them only once. Can I say comprehension?? (Yes she has 2 teachers as parents! Poor girl!) Her favorite things to do these days is any type of art (coloring, painting, etc). She asks me everyday when we can do our next "activity"! She loves dolls and her big thing right now are the "Princesses"! Lyla is taking dance and takes Tumblebus. She also loves her computer class at school. She is able to dress herself (when she wants to) and hates having her hair brushed. She is very tender-headed! She loves going shopping and her favorite place to go is Wal-mart of course! She loves routines and is very particular about things. I wonder where she gets this from?? She is a daddy's girl and loves for him to put her to bed. She loves to stay up too late but we have made progress and she goes to bed without us in the room! (It just may take several trips putting her back to bed, but eventually she winds down.)

I am so proud of my "Big" girl and what a great role model she will be for her little sisters! Here are some pictures from her 4 year old Princess/Prince Birthday Party and her birthday week! What a fun time we had!

Such a pretty little girl and I am having a really hard time with my "baby" turning 4.

Sugar Bear hates for me to brush her hair too. But I have found one brush that keeps the tears away and it is made by Luxor and is called the Wet Brush. It cost way to much (around $20) but it was worth every penny!
