Well, Girly Girl Dressup was a huge success! Anna had a wonderful time at her party and I think her friends had fun as well. I was sick and tired of paying outrageous prices for a cake that was beautiful and tasted good and equally tired of not paying much, but not enjoying the cake, so I made Anna's cake this year. While it wasn't winning any awards, Anna ate every last crumb on her plate and told me it was beautiful, so I was happy.
We had 13 girls for the party - a mixture of playgroups, school and some younger siblings of those friends. The theme was fairy princesses and they each got to wear a tutu and wings. There was a naming ceremony and they each took a stroll down the runway to show off their hair, makeup, nails and costume - quite a show! A couple fun shots from the party...
After the party, it was back to grandma and grandpa Clerkin's so the uncles could show up for some birthday fun - both Brian and Mike were afraid they would find themselves covered in glitter if they showed up at Girly Girl! Anna opened her presents and the girls went swimming. Ava took her first float in the pool, and had a great time. We will definitely be getting her back in the water. She has also officially rolled over. My sister tells me she did it last week, but as any mother knows, it isn't official until mom confirms :)
Anna had her 5 year check-up today, and all is good. She needs to drink milk (we have been fighting this battle for about 4 years), but other than that Dr. B gave us a good report - 5 yrs 10 months developmentally and here are her stats:
Weight: 36.2 lbs 25%
Height: 41 in 20%
