2 Year Shots and Stats

We had the 2-year well visit with Dr. Graham a couple weeks ago. The terrible, dreaded shots. Again.

Before and after.
Once again, a lollipop fixes everything. She was a trooper this time!

The stats are in:
Height: 34.5 inches (76th percentile)
Weight: 29.5 lbs (83rd percentile)

Oh, sweet Bug, you're growing up so fast. You're talking up a storm and your vocabulary has exploded the last couple months. Your thoughts make more sense as you learn to put words together and use (mini) sentences. Two-way conversations with you are becoming more and more fun. It's so amazing to watch your brain work and grow every single day. You're still a good eater. 80th percentile, so what? And you're still a really good sleeper, sleeping 11-12 hours at night and napping on average 2 hrs/day. We're SO thankful for that. You've got quite the sassy (and often stubborn) personality. Bossy, too. But the "my turwn, mommy turnwn, daddy turwn", etc. will never get old. You have your moments (some days more than others), but what 2 year old doesn't?! You're still very shy, it takes you 15 mins or so to warm up to new people, but you are miss social when you feel comfortable. You love your friends and teachers at school almost as much as you love your family. And you love routine. So much so that you never fail to point out to us (and your teachers) when things are out of routine. We may need to work on that. Everything, and I mean everything, has a place and you love picking up and organizing your toys/books/accessories, almost more than you do actually playing with them. Maybe you get a little of that OCD from your mom, who knows. You love to help ("my help, mommy"). Help cook, help clean, help get dressed, help take phone calls, even help go to the bathroom. You love to read. I think we have more books in this house that there are days of the year. You love to sing nursery rhymes, and you love to dance as soon the music starts. You've got some moves (and don't worry, we've got videos for later). You love to smile (on command), laugh and giggle. And we can't get enough of it. All of it.

You sparkle, and you shine, and you light up our World. 



Cleaning. And a little yoga perhaps?

 Favorite new book. Her first bible. Thank you, Ms. Teresa and Mr. Bob!

 Favorite game. Hide and go seek (in place, without actually moving/hiding). Endless entertainment.
