Thirty Three Months

Sierra is all too quickly rounding the corner to three years old.  Only three months until her birthday.  Here's what Sierra is up to these days.

 -Weighs about 28.5 lbs and is about 36 inches tall.

- Wears mostly 3T clothes.  Her shirts are getting short, though, and I anticipate having to pull out some 4T shirts this fall/winter.  Good thing I have every size of girls' clothes in my attic.  
-Wears a size 8 shoe.  She only wears her braces about 1/2 the time now. 
-Wears a size 4 diaper.  Still needs help pooping.  We seem to go back and forth between not pooping for 2 days and pooping every 2 hours with no happy medium.
-Drinks water, juice, and milk. Still loves oatmeal, bagels, pizza, spaghetti, and mac and cheese.  Her therapist got her to eat Jello over the last few weeks.
-Naps once a day around 1:00.  Sleeps about 2 hours.  Goes to bed around 8 and sleeps until about 7:00.  Likes to fall asleep on the floor right in front of her door.
-Walks from the car into the store or library.  Sometimes will even walk right along with me without having to hold my hand.
-Almost runs.  Pushes herself by her feet on the tricycle.
-Participates well in speech therapy.  However, still no new words to report.  She will make the sounds for a pig or a monkey, so I guess that's something.
-Loves her occupational therapist.  She just thinks he comes to play with her and has no idea that she is supposed to be learning something.
-Is doing SO well in school this year.  She doesn't even cry when I leave her.  I got there early to pick her up one day, and she was happily playing in the gym.
-Sits with us for the first 10-15 minutes of church.  She loves to put (throw forcefully) her money in the offering plate.  Doesn't cry when left in the church nursery anymore.  She just waves "bye."
-Is generally way happier and way more compliant than even three months ago.  Rarely bangs her head on the floor anymore.
-Loves her little 10 month old buddy, Silas. She tries to lick his fingers, take toys from him, etc.  Fortunately he thinks she is hilarious.
-Still loves Elmo, but will also watch Daniel Tiger or Dora.
-Is my favorite Sierra Grace!
