Miriam's Two Year Check up

March 30th found us at the dr for a check up. Several interesting things happened that was different from all the last well child check ups. 1) they don't measure head circumference any more, 2) she got to use the regular scale instead of the baby 'bed' with the attached meter stick to measure height, and 3)we had a nurse in training that forgot it was a well child and so took her temp/pulse/oxygen level. Dr mostly talked about her speech development.

For her stats: Miriam is 33 in tall putting her in the 29%, up only .9 inches in the last 6 mon which dropped the percentile drastically (65); and weighing 25.79 lbs putting her in the 39%, up 3.41 lbs in last 6 mon which increased the percentile (22). Miriam for the most part is a very joyful, energetic, precocious little girl. She is becoming more independent everyday and is a really big help to Mommy and brother. She is still wearing 12-18 mon clothes and shoes are somewhere between 5-7. Lucky for me she is a pretty good eater and will eat most things, though can also be notional and not eat something one day. She still loves to be outside and help take care of the yard. She is definitely a two year old and is getting more frustrated more easily and just throws herself on the ground crying or runs off to her room (which is what I did in my early teen years). She is also getting more into movies, and pretend play which is fun to watch. She is talking a lot more though the beginning sound is usually off making it hard to understand. We love you Miriam!
