Grace's 2 year wellness

Grace's 2 year wellness appointment was a few days after turning 2. Knock on wood, but Grace has been quite illness-free since birth. She's had a cold or two, but that has been the worst of it. I attribute it to the fact that she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth - still to this day. Building up that immune system! So, everything checked out great. Her tubes are still in her ears. They should fall out sometime in the next few months, so that will be interesting to see if her ears clog again. No shots this year and we left with a happy girl (because she got a lollipop and sticker)!

Checking the pulse? I believe.

Marker into mouth (see drawing on cheek) while
waiting for the doctor.

Waiting fun.

And her results are in! She grew 5" in the past year. Little beanstalk like her big brother. 

Weight: 29 lbs. / 78%

Height: 35.5" / 93%

I looked back at the time to see what William's 2 year appointment looked like and he beat Grace by just a smidge in both categories. But really, they're both pretty identical in stats.

The usual other questions popped up like sleeping, eating and development. She's a great eater, she's a great sleeper and we didn't even need to touch on development because Grace was talking in phrases to the doctor. The doctor said girls usually develop more quickly on the word front, while boys usually develop more quickly on the physical. The talking time she gets with William is definitely a plus though.

Stats for the wellness appointment

Great appointment! Hopefully we aren't back until next birthday. Actually, we go back next month for our flu shot :)
