heidi stats
one day after heidi's bday, we had her 2 year well visit. i don't think i have ever gotten so close to the actual date for any of the kids' well visits. makes me feel good as, if you know me, that gives us stats that are about as near to the base line and accurate as possible. so, without further adieu:
weight: 23 pds - 8th percentile
height: 34.5 inches - 70th percentile
head circumference: 47.5 cm - 55th percentile
immediate comment from the nurse? wow, looks like she is going to take after her daddy - skinny and tall! we were actually a little surprised as we feel like she has been eating and growing like crazy since her last appointment. thought she would weigh a lot more. dr doesn't seem concerned though as she has been pretty steady in height and weight since she was born.
our dr says that a better predictor of height is that the kids will end up btw the heights of the parents in the end. that isn't really the case in either of our families. the other old predictor, not as accurate, is double the height at 2 years. that puts heidi at about 5 foot 9 inches i believe. of course, i was supposed to be 5 foot 2 inches, and we all know that didn't happen ;) still, love the thought that she most likely will be taller than me.
other tidbits. heidi still has some excema (sp?) as well as a seemingly chronic cough at night the last two winters. dr says, it could point to indoor allergies. though, we are still hoping it is just a string of winter colds. otherwise, she checked out just great. she was pretty shy and stubborn at the dr. DID NOT want to take her cloths off, or the dress shoes that she insisted on wearing that day. lots of tears were shed. she had a great big smile and wave goodbye for the dr as he left though......
eric and i have both noticed, really hard not too, that she is getting increasingly more difficult. outwardly defiant, very particular about what she wears (2 years old!), etc. starting on her bday sunday, we've had to wrestle her into her pjs every night. does she just want to be naked? well, sometimes during the day, but at bedtime, she just wants to put on other day cloths and goes to the drawer and starts pulling things out and scattering them across the room. one afternoon, eric let her sleep with her new black dress shoes on (seems particularly attached to them). on the other hand, she is beautifully stunning and sweet. her smile lights up the room. she makes everyone feel uniquely special. she is very responsive to discipline and you can tell she is remorseful. she tells us when she needs a diaper change. i'm waiting for her to potty train herself. hopefully soon! she loves books, babies, shoes, bags, coloring, and her big brother boden. we really hope this bond we see btw them continues through adult hood. we love our sweet little 2 year old heidi!
