Gabrielle's 3rd Birthday Party

We went to Gab's well check around her birthday and she is doing well! 
27.5 lbs - 17th percentile
35.5 inches - 17th percentile
They stop measuring her head at age three and start taking blood pressure.  Tear.
She is still smaller but perfectly perportionate.

She is also starting (finally) to brush her teeth like a big girl and learning how to spit.  We should have started this about a year ago....but I kept putting it off until Nick finally tought her.  Thank him.

And today Nick and I took Gabs to her first movie at the theater!  She really is into movies and she loved it.  We saw Rise of the Guardians about Santa, the Easter Bunny, Jack Frost, etc and she picked out Skittles for a snack.  She thought it was pretty cool and it was nice for Nick and I to get out with her together while Oliver stayed with a sitter for a couple of hours.

So we finally had Gabrielle's third birthday party on December 2 and it turned out well!  She has been very into her birthday and had her cake picked out for months  (seriously) and she got to pick out all her party decorations herself this year.  I took her to party city and didn't choose princesses, but chose fairies/Tinkerbell instead.  We had sloppy joes, macaroni and cheese, and grapes for lunch - all Gabrielle's current favorites.  She could hardly wait to open her presents, though, so she didn't get much lunch eaten. 

She got lots of Cinderella stuff, some clothes, and some doctor stuff for her birthday.  She also got a "Gabrielle" doll which she thought was so cool.  It has plastic that you can snap on and off which she likes to (and can) do easily.
