Bella's 4th Birthday!

Seriously HOW in the world is Bella 4 already!? I cant believe my baby is getting so big. This year Bella had her party completely planned and she knew exactly who she wanted at her birthday party. Its so cute to see her with all her friends. This year she wanted a Hello Kitty party and since she LOVES swimming I decided to do her party at one of the pools on post. I really wanted to make her birthday cake but ill be honest I absolutely suck at cake decorating so I just ordered her cake. We also ordered pizza, got some water and Capri Sun, made a fruit salad and called it a party! it was such easy set up and her party really turned out fun.
Since we had her party at the pool we didn't have to limit her guest list which was AWESOME because she does have a lot of friends and they could all just come with their families and have a fun family day.

The Gift bags!

Bella and Macy, can you tell Bella just loves her?

 

So on Bella's actual Birthday I let Bella pick ANY place to go to lunch and Doug was able to meet us up at....burger king! funny how this is where she picks but really I wasn't surprised since the one on post has the best play land. After Doug got off work we took Bella out to see "the croods" it was so funny! We got Bella her own individual cake and sang to her when we got back which she loved and wanted us to sing to her over and over again! She really loves her birthday and I love making it as special as I can! I love this little lady so much and I cant believe how big and beautiful she is.

 

The birthday girl looking as cute as ever!

every time I do these picture collages of her I just cant believe how much she's grown. I've loved every minute of it!

and finally we ended her celebration at the doctors. She had her 4 year old check up about a week after her birthday and this check up was a little different than all of her past check ups. This time the doctor asked her questions instead of just me. He asked her to count, to jump, walk, run, to draw a circle and a cross. She did really well except she doesn't really know him so she was a little shy of course and when he asked her what color her pants where she shyly said " I don't know...." and the doctor told me I needed to work on her colors because she should know them by now. She DOES her colors, she's known them since she was 2! talk about feeling like a bad mom lol, luckily at the end of the appointment when belle had warmed up to him she was able to show him how she does know her pants are blue, her shirt is white, and her shoes have pink on them. phew!

Bella was happy throughout her entire appointment until the end...she needed 4 shots and you would think that the older they get the easier getting shots would be but I feel like this was the saddest set of shots she's ever gotten. first of all she didn't like being in her underwear in front of the nurse so I could tell she felt embarrassed but she laid down like she was suppose to. we told her she was getting shots and after the first one she looked at me and said "mom it hurts, stop!" but she needed three more! She looked at me like "why aren't you helping me, she's hurting me!" she defiantly did not want to be the nurses friend after. I told her she needed the shots to help make her healthy and strong but she still wasn't impressed. luckily she wont need anymore until she's 11 (not including her flu shots.)

 

Bella has grown so much in the last year. She is now out of nursery and in primary. She wants to go to school, she actually plays with her friends instead of just right next to them. She does have best friends which is really sweet to see her friendships develop. She even stuck gum in her hair for the first time lol. I did a little questionnaire with her and these were her answers.
