Savannah at 3 years

Clothing: 3T/4T
Height & Weight: will update after her appointment. I'd say she's tall, though.

Favorite things: playing games like "Disney World vacation" and "party" with Camden. Playing babies. Playing make-believe. Playgrounds. Dressing up as Elsa or a princess. Wearing PJs. Doing things herself. She usually goes right along with Camden's make believe games, jumping right into the characters and situations (she'll be Chewbacca or "a tiny Princess Leia", no problem)

Personality: Very talkative with a large vocabulary at home but usually very quiet in larger group situations or reverting back to baby talk. Has a million facial expressions. She is quick to say "I'm so sorry" if needed and appears to be very empathetic to others. Sweet. Goofy. Imaginative. Easy going. She'll often ask, "why is that guys face like that" when she notices someone making a funny face or acting sad or "is that mommy mean?" if she sees someone angry. She'll also use her free will to say she's not going to do something like eat dinner or clean up saying "it's ok, I don't like dessert anymore" when we tell her she won't get a treat later.

Physical milestones: She's been potty trained (besides bedtime and nap) for awhile. She likes to get herself dressed (her and Camden actually started getting themselves dressed around the same time earlier this year since she wants to do it herself and Camden always prefers help). Has been sleeping in her big bed since the beginning of the year and does well (besides a few "get outs" early in the night). She usually still naps 1-2:30pm, or just plays in her room during that time (sometimes trying on about 15 different outfits)

Foods: will try most anything and likes a lot of different foods although doesn't always want the entrees I cook

she is acting out a scene from "Madeline" where Madeline shows her belly scar

Funny things:

She has lots of questions, many of which are really silly like: "what is a straw with stripes called?" and "why is a townhouse called a townhouse". You can't say "I don't know" because she says, "Mommy, yes you do. You know it." She did say to me, "You are amazing because you know things." So I guess I come up with some good answers sometimes.

She's been making up these stories that start out with "When I was a little baby...." and end with elaborate tales like "I was sucked up by a tornado and landed on some soft dirt" or "an angry butterfly ate my eye but Mommy got me a new eye" or "I was allergic to bears. I saw a bear in the woods and I sneezed and he sneezed." So if she tells you a story that starts that way, don't believe it!

She wanted to see inside my belly to look at the baby. I told her you can't open up a belly and she said "Well there has to be an opener somewhere" while looking around my stomach/legs. Then she found my belly button (which is sticking out) and said "oh, here it is!" and tried to pull it out like a cork. When that didn't work, she went and got a screwdriver and wrench!

And, a little late, I finally ordered her baby book for her first year. Glad to have it done before I need to work on another one!
