So, my first night without a pacifier wasn’t so bad, but one consequence is that it’s a lot harder for me to fall asleep once I’m up early in the morning. I was up before 6:00 AM, and whereas before I might have grabbed a pacifier and fallen back asleep, today I was up and ready to go.
Dad reluctantly got up (he tried to get me to fall back asleep in his bed — ha!) and we took a shower before heading downstairs to get breakfast ready. I ate really well and it looked like a beautiful day! Nana came at 8:00 and before I knew it, the two of us headed out to the park. I love the park! Nana was impressed by how well I handed the equipment and how much I wanted to walk instead of get pushed in the stroller. When we got to the dog run, I even told the lazy dogs to get up and run around, too.
We got back home and played around in the yard before coming back in for lunch. I woke up just in time to head out to my two-year check-up at my doctor’s office. I did great! I passed everything with flying colors; here are my stats:
Length: 35 3/4″ (90th%)
Weight: 30 lb., 2 oz. (just under 90%)
Head circumference: 19 5/8″ (95%)
So, yeah, I’m a big girl! Typically, people reach half of their final height by their second birthday, meaning I’m on pace to be about 5′ 11″. Apparently this rule of thumb slightly over-predicts for girls and under-predicts for boys, so maybe I’ll have to settle for 5′ 9″ or 5′ 10″. Rough life!
I got two vaccines, my 4th DPat and I first Hepatitis A. But more importantly, I uttered the words “I’m a burrito,” to which my doctor said, “I guess that’s a sentence!”
After I got my stickers, we went straight to my first haircut at KidSnips. You can see the entire event for yourself.
What do you think? Comments welcome!
Then I ran around, just for fun, I like I do when I go watch Dad get his hair cut.
When we got home we played around and I talked to Marty and Grandma Droste on the computer. Then I opened a birthday present from Aunt Sarah before enjoying dinner!
Last year I was enjoying being 1.
