Charlotte Turns Five





My sweet Valentine Baby!  Charlotte has changed so much this past year.  She no longer loves quesadillas, for-crying-out-loud! Now she is all about chips and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When she likes something, she really likes it!
She loves to play mom and dad or school with anyone willing, and she can usually convince either Macie or Carver to play along.  She likes to ride her bike and play with her friend, Alaina, who lives across the street. She still sucks her thumb and cuddles her blankie.
During preschool, which is Monday, Wednesday, Friday, she will easily take three naps a week.  Learning and socializing are apparently exhausting!
She loves going to Primary, but she is still very timid and skeptical (read: crocodile tears and hyperventilate-type crying) of unfamiliar or "scary" situations like getting x-rays or going to kindergarten orientation.

At her five year check-up it was discovered that Charlotte has scoliosis. We did x-rays to discover it is an 11 degree curvature from T9 to L4, which is considered very mild, but it is something we will definitely watch.  She will have x-rays to check it every six months. Other than that, she is uber healthy. In fact, the pediatrician said she is the size of the average seven-year-old.

Five years-
Weight- 52 lbs, 95%
Height- 47 inches, 99%
Blood Pressure - 92/64
