Rosie is 8!

Rosie is EIGHT years old! She weighs 58.8 pounds and is 53 inches tall (79% of the way to my adult height). Rosie is bright, fierce, independent, and curious. She is always pushing herself to do things her older sisters can do. She is strong - her teachers told me they often watch her at recess doing pull ups on the monkey bars. Rosie has a couple good buddies outside of school, but at school mostly hangs out with the boys in the class. She plays football, basketball, or four square and eats lunch with the boys. At home, she and Jane and Ben get along pretty well. She looks up to Eleanor. She likes to dress up, she loves Taylor Swift, and she likes to read graphic novels. She enjoys playing soccer and has spent a lot of time in goal this fall. She played lacrosse, swam for summer swim, and also played basketball this year.  There are still some words she says incorrectly like "grav" for "grab" and "cavinets" for "cabinets." She says she wants to be an actress when she grows up.
