sisters are happiness

Both girls woke up so happy the other day, it warranted pictures!  And...after the recent postings about iXy, it seemed we needed an X update.  

At 3, Xaris...

still only weighs 23 lbs
(which is not even on the growth chart)
is 35 & 1/2 inches tall (10th %)
and while they don't do head circumference at 3 year well-check, but in her words, 
"I've got a big ol' head"
(it's hard to pull t-shirts over her big old head!)

Our 3 year old...

now has a smattering of freckles across her nose--too cute!
loves gymnastics, and dancing, and swimming
...and the list goes on and on...

has been potty trained for a YEAR!  
we even got to put away the little potty :)
and on mission trip, we were at the convention center and went to use the 
public restroom and she wanted to go in the stall by herself and close the door.  
Crazy.  When did she get so big?!?!

will pray before meals (unless lots of people are present)
likes to sing, but tends to modify songs or make up her own
(recently she sang about the itsy bitsy spider who went up the water spout 
and ate spaghetti)
has quite the extensive vocabulary, in English and Spanish...and says
hilarious and interesting stuff in sometimes very full and long sentences!
LOVES being a big sister, and is amazing with her baby sister
runs very very fast
is a great helper
loves the Zoo, parks, arboretum, swings and slides
knows her full name, her mama's name, papas name, baby sister's name, and her birthdate.  
She also knows my nickname growing up (and still) was Caliakahlua, and she
occasionally calls me "caliakalola"

We love our sweet girls!
