3-year Check-up

Lucy is 37.5 inches tall and weighs 34.7 pounds. She is in the 59th percentile for height and 81st percentile for weight.

She received a chicken pox vaccination which she was not happy about. She also refused to take off her clothes for the doctor, but after some bribery and a phone call to mom, she finally complied.



Lucy is very independent and will try to do everything that Andrew does. She regularly makes a costume change at night. We will put her to bed in pajamas and then when we get her up in the morning, she has a totally different outfit on--including shoes!

She regularly makes Emmy laugh hysterically--usually when they are supposed to be in bed sleeping.

She still takes 1 nap--from 12:30 to 3:30 pm and will go to bed at 6:30 pm and wake up at 7 am the next morning.

She likes to do everything herself. She has pooped once in her potty, but regularly tells us when she is going pee in her diaper. I ask her regularly if she wants to use the potty, but she usually answers with a no.

She always wants to be a baby--she wants to be carried like a baby with her head on one side and her feet on the other. She also wants to be a dog and horse--she will put shoes on her hands and walk around on her hands and feet most places.

She loves My Little Pony--especially Rainbow Dash. She got a Build-a-Bear pony for her birthday and she named it Orange Dash--even though it is purple.

She is very observant and loves to go to Target or Walmart. She loves dance class and usually follows the directions.

She loves to read books and has started voicing characters for her toys and stuffed animals.

She loves to eat queso, pajaritos, most fruit and carrots. She does not like to eat anything that doesn't pass her inspection and is wary of anything new. She still loves orange juice and would drink it all day  everyday if we let her.

Lucy is a joy to be around and makes those around her smile. We are very lucky to have Lucy in our family! We love you!

Lucy-isms



Lucy usually speaks very clearly and uses both English and Spanish, but she has some very funny sayings that I will try and remember to record here.


  • "Scoop" - i.e. "Scoot". Example: "Mama, scoop so I can sit down!"
  • "Pajaritos" - what she calls Fruit Loops. Example: "Mama, quiero pajaritos!"
  • "Cozy" - nothing is ever "hot". She is "cozy", warm food is "cozy", there is no distinction.
  • "Hawaddle" - what she calls a penguin waddle.
  • "Pony Person" - what she calls her purse that looks like a pony.
  • The American Flag - she calls it "scouts"--"Mom. look scouts", pointing to a flag.
  • "Chinchilla" - she calls her toy caterpillar a chinchilla.

Van Gogh and Desitin

Last night after putting the girls to bed at 7:30 pm, we heard some sounds coming from their room around 9:30 pm.

Wondering what was going on, we peeked.

Lucy had decided to "white wash" the slats on Emmy's crib, her tent, her bed, her hair and her upper lip with DESITIN!

I didn't realize that Desitin smelled so good.
