3 Years Old

At 3 years old, Natalie is 39 inches tall and weighs 37 lbs. She wears size 4T-5T size clothing and size 9 shoes. She has a vast vocabulary, including "scrumptious," "evaporate," and "privacy." Speaking of privacy, she goes to the bathroom by herself (and often insists that she does), buckles herself in her carseat, and gets dressed all on her own. My little girl is growing up!

This summer, we enjoy going to the local splash pad once a week.

And she loves to dance! To help keep us all in shape this summer, we sometimes have little "dance parties" to her favorite music. But this video was from Great Play Gym.

She "wrote" all of her own Thank You cards for her birthday presents, too.

We attended a children's production of "Little Red Riding Hood" with Grandma...

and played in the sand with Grandpa. 

She plays the didgeridoo, kazoo, maracas, piano, trombone mouthpiece, and various percussion instruments, and loves jamming with Daddy while he practices.

We also try to attend "Story Time" at the library once a week and pick-up a new book to read. The following pictures pretty much sum-up her attention span during these story times.  :)

Awesome.
