Yesterday was Maddy's two year check up at the pediatrician. Everything went really well. The Doctor spent a lot of time sitting with Maddy and looking at books and asking her lots of questions, all of which Maddy had an answer for and then some :) It felt like a test to me and I was the stage mom off to side praying she would give a "smart" answer. As with all her other appointments, Maddy manages to turn on the charm so she stated her name, how old she is and then performed a beautiful off key version of the ABCs. It's amazing to me how much those appointments have changed. They started with Matt and I being terrified, progressed into an hour long attempt to keep her from rolling off the exam table and now we sit in the room while I daughter "reads" books to the Doctor. And then the Doctor tells me we don't bring her back again until she's THREE!!!! Holy cow - we use to spend more time there than at the grocery store and now we don't have to go back for a year!
Here are the numbers:
Weight: 24.5 lbs. (25-50%)
Height: 33 inches (50-75%)
Head: 18 inches (50%)
Weight is the one that amazes me the most because I can't possibly understand how a child that eats as much as Maddy can be in the 25 percentile for weight! Hoping it's that amazing metabolism that she will pray for in her adult life.
So, Maddy is a happy, healthy "preschooler" and is on track with all her developmental milestones.
