5 Year Old Stats

Now that Hannah is 5, I will continue to fill in all her new accomplishments, but I'm not going to continue on with all the stats from when she was a baby. She is, after all, quite the big girl now, as she constantly likes to remind me.

Height/Weight: 46 inches and 43.5lbs (although she was in the middle of a growth spurt and grew another inch and gained another pound within a week or two of this measurement)

Physical Features: Her hair is still blonde with the slightest red tint to it that you can see on occasion. Her hair is almost shoulder length and her bangs are almost long enough to tuck behind her ears. It is still very fine and soft and flips out or under, just like mine. She has decided that she will be growing it out, like Repunzel from Tangled, so we have been just trimming it; no real cuts. Her eyes are still blue. She is getting some freckles on her nose and cheeks and a couple more on her arms and legs. She is tall and thin and often mistaken for a 7 or 8 year old.

Milestones: She can write her name with an uppercase for her first letter and lowercase for the rest, write all the letters in uppercase and some in lowercase, write 15 words or so from memory, recognize about 20 words without sounding them out, sound out words, swim with armband floaties, draw pictures of people in action with a background, tell stories, tell jokes, memorize her favorite books, count to 100, write 0-10, skip, swing without help, get in and out of car/carseat alone, wash hair alone, brush teeth alone, use a butter knife, color mostly in the lines, and read short books. She asks questions about everything and loves to draw pictures and write words. She is working on riding a bike without training wheels, tying her shoes, memorizing her full address and phone number, writing short sentences, and swimming without floaties.
