"2" Year Check Up...

So today Anna Lauren had her two year check up with our wonderful pediatrician, Dr. Joe.

She said she wanted to go see Jo Jo, which in her little mind means my brother, Joey, who she calls Jo Jo. And with Jo Jo comes her baby cousin Bently...well, that is not exactly the Jo Jo we went to see today so it took a few tears to get over that and realize that unfortunately, we had to see the doctor.

She put on a good show for the nurse through the weighing / measuring, etc so the nurse felt sorry for her and told Dr. Joe he may want to enter the room with a sucker, which is exactly what he did. Now...that helped with the tears until the exam time, but he was super fast and all is well now. Other than she has the "crud" and is not feeling 100%...he gave her an antiobotic and cough medicine so maybe she will be back to normal soon.

As far as her check up:

Weight ~ 31.4 Pounds ~ 90th percentile

Length ~ 36 Inches ~ 95th percentile...he predicts she will be my height (5'8") or taller

Head ~ 18 3/4 Inches ~ 50th percentile

Vocabulary ~ Above Average ~ I do not know any different so I think she is talking just like any other 2 year old, but he said she is above average and putting phrases together, etc, which is really good...oh no...she is going to be a talker like her mom, and her siblings will pay her not to talk like my brothers did me...poor Anna Lauren!
