Leah's physical was today. She is in perfect health. Says so right in her medical records "perfect". She is caught up on her vaccinations and meets the minimum requirements set by NY State for entering the public school system.
She is 42.5 inches tall and 43 pounds. About a pound for every inch. That puts her in the 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. She has consistently grown about the same since birth. It is estimated that at the rate she has been going, adjustment for puberty, she will be about 5'6"/5'7" when she is fully grown. Much taller than myself.
*knock on wood* We shouldn't have Leah in to see the doctor again for another year. Leah's pediatrician will no doubt be the pediatrician for our next baby at the hospital so we will see him again soon.

5th Birthday Party
Today was spent at White Post Farms celebrating Leah's birthday with family and friends. It turned out to be the perfect summer day. Mid to high 70s, no humidity and no rain.
Pony rides, petting zoo, baby animals,train ride, pizza and tons of fun.
Tiny teeny lil baby goat the kids were able to see, pet and hold. About a day old.
Bunny the kids were able to hold.
Leah seemed to enjoy everything she did for the day. She was smiling the whole time.
Bottle feeding the animals.
Yummy birthday cake, farm theme.
After the party Leah changed into her bathing suit and played on the bouncers and water slides at the farm with her friends Mayah & Delilah and her cousin Kain.
White Post Farms has great playgrounds for their guests.
Following the farm we headed back home for an evening bbq with the family. A relaxing night of catching up with family and enjoying each other's company. George and Matt handled the grill and we had an ice cream cake for Leah.
After cake the kids went out to play in the playground. Where do they get all this energy?! Thank goodness for Uncle Keith & Titi Leilani. They ran around with them for quite a while.
Leah enjoyed playing with her cousin Kain's swords and knives.
Leah said it was the best birthday party day yet.

Birthday Celebration
Today Leah had a day full of fun at school. The school hosted a petting zoo and pony rides for the kids. In addition we brought in a big cookie (Leah's request) for the class.
After school we joined up with Grandpa George and headed to Tobay for an afternoon at the beach.

After an afternoon at the beach we headed back home and changed. Leah opened presents from Grandma & Grandpa.
After the beach we headed over to Applebees for dinner with George and Ruth. After dinner Leah went to Cold Stone for dessert.
When we got home Leah opened her presents from us. She was happy to find out she did get the much desired and talked about Hannah Montana 'guitar'. Eventually she would like the real acoustic one. I suspect she will end up with it and lessons to go with it.
For now this one will do.

Countdown Complete!
Leah has turned 5!
To mark the big event Leah decided to get her ears pierced yesterday before officially turning 5. She was great. She sat still and let the piercers do their thing and viola! 2 pretty earrings.
She did cry afterward because the ears were sore but after a few minutes she was back to normal.
This morning she got all dressed up for school in her special birthday outfit.
All grown up!
She has more accessories to go with it but those are for tonight.
