Avery had her three-year check-up last night. (I still love her pediatrician and the fact that his office hours are great for working parents!) Here are her latest stats:
Weight – 28 pounds, 2 ounces (25th percentile)
Height – 35.25 inches (10th percentile)
For comparison, I had to go back and see where she was at this time last year. She’s gained nearly four pounds, and she’s grown just less than four inches.
We discussed when to move Avery from her crib to a “big girl” bed. The doctor said as long as she’s doing fine in her crib, there’s no rush. So we’ll wait until all three of us are ready before we move forward with that big change!
In terms of milestones, Avery is doing great. She’s already met the milestones for 3-year-olds and is on her way to meet the ones for 4-year-olds. For the next year, we’ll probably focus on school-related skills, such as recognizing letters and numbers, writing letters, writing her name and social skills. It’s hard to believe that we need to think about preparing her for school already!
We are so proud of how much Avery has grown physically, emotionally and spiritually in her short life. God is growing her into such a beautiful young girl!
