Man I can never keep up with her height. But she's smaller for her age, 36.6 lbs as of a few years ago, and she's just on the cusp of 4.5
I think she only has be 33 lightning bolts.

I bumped us back from second row beds to fifth row beds for our trip to Australia over Easter. That row has better sight lines to keep an eye on the kid.
