- Now that you are 5 you think you are too old for certain things. For example you told me this morning "mom why do we still watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? That's a baby show" and the other day you said "mom when are you and dad going to stop telling me what to do? I am 5 now!"
- Loves Bright Haven Preschool and can't wait for Kindergarten in August!
- Wears a size XS (4-5) or 5 in clothes and still prefers dresses over shorts or pants
- Weighs about 42 pounds
- 43 1/2 or 44 inches tall
- Waist size is 21.5 inches
- Hips are 23 inches
- Wears a size 11 or 11.5 shoe
- Can count up to 30 or 40 (I can't remember)
- Knows how to write all her letters and can spell anything if you just tell her what letters.
- Knows how to spell & write her name without assistance.
- Is learning to add and subtract things
- Loves to sing all type of songs (Taylor Swift, Adele, Eli Young Band, etc) and knows more words than I do!
- Loves to help Colton with anything (even when he doesn't ask for her help) but just this morning said only people 5 years old and older can go in her room! Geez...is this really starting so young?
- Doesn't really like to nap anymore...but will still sleep when we make her have 'quiet time' in her room.
- Loves being the older sister and getting to do things that Colton doesn't get to do yet. Most of the time we have to do these secretly...so Lauren thinks that's the coolest thing ever and will whisper things to me about it (with a huge smile on her face) so Colton doesn't hear!
- Asks "what are we doing today" everyday! When I say "go to school" she follows it up with "what about after school" when I tell her we are going to come home and play she says "NO I want to go somewhere!" Apparently our house is boring now. :-)
- Loves to put on lip gloss and perfume!
- I think one of her favorite activities outside of the house is to go to the movie theater.
- Goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 6 or 6:30.
- Is already having the "this person said they don't like me" at school issues! Really people...she is 4?!?!?! This scares me for what my future holds.
- Is excited about baby #3 and just says "I hope it's a girl because I already have a brother"

- Waist and Hips are both 19.75 inches
- Wears a size 6.5 wide or 7 shoe
- Wears a size 5 diaper or a 2T-3T pull up
- Still sleeps in a crib (only because you don't try to climb out and this is easy for us)
- All your baby teeth are now in and you LOVE to brush your teeth!
- Loves to be goofy and say "Whoa, Whoa" while moving around acting like he is about to fall
- Gets silly when he is tired (which is what I used to do) so he just laughs at random things when he is tired (then of course the crying follows if it's too late afterwards).
- Has started singing songs from the radio like Lauren does (Eli Young Band's Crazy Girl is your favorite song...or any 'guitar' song as you call it)
- Can count to 20 with a little slip up around 17 usually
- TALKS constantly now!
- Favorite thing you say that makes your daddy and I laugh is "Huh? What'd You Say?" and "What'd you JUST say?" with a smirk on your face when you say it.
- Goes pee pee on the potty a lot but I still have not fully potty trained you yet using the 3 day method we did with your sister. You have gone poo poo on the potty once but said it scared you
- LOVES Team Umi Zoomy, Spongebob, Dora, Diego, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on TV and will dance and sing to all the musical parts
- Still loves trains and cars
- Loves to push a car though the house and then make a sliding stop.
- Keeps randomly coming up to us and will say "hug and kiss" so of course we give you what you want! Love that!!!
- Crys when he gets his feeling hurt or gets in trouble like "mom are you mad at me?"
- Likes to talk to my belly and say "Hi baby"
- Loves to drive around the block when we get into our neighborhood. You would think this would get old to him...but no he wants to do it everyday!
