2 Year Check Up


Haidyn did great at her 2 year check. She warmed up to the doctor pretty quickly, so she was being a little jabber jaw. We were in the alphabet room (it's decorated with letters) and Haidyn says, "Mommy, it's a purple S." The doctor asks if she just said it's a purple S. I said yes, there's one on the wall. She just smiles and shakes her head and we go back to talking. Then she stops again and says, "She knows the color AND the letter?" Then Haidyn amazes her some more with the alphabet and counting. She couldn't believe how smart Haidyn is. Yay! Proud mommy moment. Haidyn ended the visit by telling the doctor, "I want a Mickey sticker." Doc counts the words on her fingers and says, "That's 5 words. She's not suppose to be able to do that yet." Then she asked if she could stay there the rest of the day so she can show everyone in the office.

She's measuring at 34.5" (the same as her 18 month, but they measured long last time). I'm guessing she probably grew about an inch and a half. So if the old wives tale is true, she should be 5'9" as an adult. I'm betting she'll reach 5'8." She weighs 27lbs and 7oz. Her growth is right on a good curve. She only had to get her finger pricked for a lead test, but she didn't even whimper. She was a very good girl.
