I am now 9 yrs old!!
I had my Well Child Checkup today, Feb 13th 2017 and I am 105lbs and 59" tall, one more inch and I will be 5' tall.
Well, this past year had its ups and downs. Let me get the downs out of the way first.



First off, I fractured my arm and not any arm but my left arm....I am a lefty. This happened right before Halloween so can you guess what color of cast I got? ORANGE !!!
I was walking into school ( Oregon Trail this year) and went to get my bib for breakfast and my foot hit the chair and down I went. I didn't cry long so grandma didn't think anything of my fall. When grandma picked me at the end of the day, the teacher said, during my occupational therapy, I wasn't happy and tried to hit the teacher (she was making my wrist hurt). Grandma noticed that night that I couldn't put pressure on my wrist so I had it x-rayed the next day and it was fractured.





If fracturing my arm wasn't bad enough, I also had dental surgery done. 9 teeth pulled and 3 crowns.
All 4 eye teeth were pulled as they were going to be coming out soon and 5 teeth had cavities in between the cracks. 4 were molars that were going to be coming out soon so they got removed and one was a molar has short roots so it got pulled. Then other 3 molars had crowns on them as they weren't due to come out till next year.
 I did very very well after surgery and healed great.
Why did I have so many cavities??
Because I am a mouth breather and my mouth is always open so the saliva doesn't get to do its job and kill the bacteria as well.

Now that, that is all out of the way, now I can brag about myself.

1.I wont let grandma pick out my shirts to wear, I do it and I am always looking for the same shirt to wear. Why cant she just buy 10 of the same shirts?






2.I am getting stronger and can walk farther. I love to walk the canyon after Saturday morning breakfast at Ihop. I even have my own sitting spot so please don't stand there or I get mad.
I even walked from my house all the way to the park.


3.I love to sit on the trampoline and bounce, swing, go for bike rides, look at the glofish at Petco, read books, ipad, watch Mater the Greater, hang out with uncle Josh when he plays video games. He will even let me play.... with the controller  unplugged,
4. I am talking more, if you can understand me. I can say simple sentences and read simple books, I am capable of reading long books but my brain goes faster then I can read. reading is my strongest area and my speech therapist isn't giving me a goal as I am to smart and she is going to challenge me.
5.I still love hugs and love snuggle time with grandpa and grandma
6. I can take off my pants and socks and that is it.
7 I love to eat and eat and eat and try to sneak food when ever I can. I wait for grandma to leave the room then I hurry into the kitchen and grab the grapes or chip.
if you have soda sitting on the counter, I will come in for the sneak attack and grab it.
