McKinlee is 3!

I'm home sick today, so what better time to update our blog? McKinlee just turned 3 and she was so cute. She's old enough to really enjoy the "special day". She's been waiting and waiting to turn 3 because she'll get to go to school when she's 3 (too bad that's not until next August...poor thing)! McKinlee is still so little! At her well-child visit last week she weighed 28 lbs (10% percentile) and was 36.5" tall (25% percentile). She got 2 shots and was so brave for the first one and then had a minor meltdown for the second one.

She is still Miss Independent and will absolutely REFUSE to let you help her do anything. She's a "big girl" and can do it herself. She's completely potty trained and has only had 1 night-time accident since she decided to start using the potty full-time. She loves to do anything her big brother is doing and gets upset if he won't let her play along. She is such a sweet little girl and loves to ask us to "snuggle wif me" when we're putting her to bed. She talks very well for her age and is pretty easy to understand. She likes to discipline us when we do "naughty" things. We don't let the kids use "naughty" words like stupid, shut up or butt. I was talking to Yates this morning on the phone while the kids were eating breakfast and said, "butt" and Tucker immediately caught me and told me not to say the "b" word. McKinlee piped up and said, "Yeah, mommy don't say a "b" word!" She loves to make Titan smile and laugh and is so proud that she can do it. She has always been phsyically beautiful and she gets commented on it everywhere we go. We sure love her and are so glad that she's a part of our family!

Happy #3!
