Harper's 2 year appointment


Nevermind that I'm over a month delayed in posting this. The point is that I'm posting it!!


We took Harper to her 2-month appointment on April 6th. She doesn't have the best track record at the Doctor's office, and tends to freak out when the nurses or anyone else touches her to take her temp, or even to get her on the scale. Jon and I tried to prep her well in advance, telling her what was going to happen, and that everything was going to be great. To our joy, she was awesome!! She stood on the scale like a big girl and sat calmly while the doctor checked her out. What a relief! Harper's stats at her 2 year appointment were as follows:


Weight: 31 lbs (75th%)

Height: 35 1/2 inches (90th%)


Of course her doctor was very pleased with how she's doing. She commented that she's finally growing hair, and we have to agree! Jon remarked that she's exactly half of our heights! Crazy to think that.

The doc said they look for about 12 words at this age. Jon and I looked at each other amazed because we think she says about 200, let alone the sentences she's putting together. She reassured us that some of the words she pronounces wrong consistently (instead of "cup" she says "puh") is totally normal and it's just her figuring out pronounciation. We got the go ahead to give her 2% milk now, which we were happy about.

The best part of the appointment was -- no shots!!! Woohoo!

We are so proud of her and how well she's growing and developing. It's amazing to know how far she's come. We are so blessed!
