4 Years Old

Adrian officially turned 4 on Oct. 22nd at 7:01 pm. Today she had her wellness check-up and got some updated stats from last year.

Weight: 40.4 lbs (up 5 lbs from last year) 83rd percentile

Height: 42 inches (up 2 1/2 from last year) 89 percentile

Adrian has been doing great...she has adjusted well to her new daycare center which we really like. We have parent teacher conferences coming up and we are also invited to a Thanksgiving Luncheon with Adrian in 2 weeks which will be fun.

Some of Adrian's Current Likes:

Favorite Foods: Pizza, Peanut Butter, Yogurt, Mac-&-Cheese

Favorite Movies: Jumanji, Madagascar

Favorite Activities: Rolling dice, Reading books (Russell the Sheep & Splat the Cat), Painting, Putting stickers on anything! 

Some things that haven't really changed...Adrian always likes to go outside, swinging at the park and lastly collecting things. She loves gathering things so lets hope she won't end up on a Hoarders show in 30 years :) Adrian has always been super sweet and loving...giving lots of kisses and saying "I love you" at the cutest times. For example carving a pumpkin last night she told me she loved me...melts my heart :)

Pic from Adrian's Family Party on Oct. 21st

So Adrian's big b-day gift from Mitch and I was a "new" room...actually a big girl room since Adrian has been sleeping essentially in her crib since she was born with just the front rail removed. So, the 2 pics below are of her room a couple months ago.

 BEFORE...

AFTER...



Alot of the things in the room are used or have been made. The bookcase was made by Adrian's Grandparents (Sinnwell). The basket holding her stuffed animals are flower baskets spray painted and the liner removed.

 The headboard, footboard, nightstand, and dresser purchased on Craigslist (not the mattress :)...I don't need a bedbug infestation!

 Adrian and I made the owl!

 Grandma Harden re-covered the photo board with owl fabric. Grandpa Harden helped make the coat rack with fun doorknobs.

 Butterfly's were spray painted to match decor. Lastly the birdhouse I painted and the grass looking rug before I put in several, several hours on making (I will never make another!)

Adrian loved her room and we have had troubles getting her to go to bed now because she likes sitting up in bed reading at night and playing with her new little birdies she got...we are waiting for the novelty to wear off.
