The pediatrician's office recently started doing a 2.5 year well-child visit. Hannah was actually the first one to be scheduled at our office since the recommendation came out from the AAP a few days before her 2 year well child visit. So today, we went for her 2.5 year check-up. Grammy got Hannah a book a few months ago called Baby Bop Goes To The Doctor and Hannah has been asking to read it a lot. She was very excited to do all the big girl things Baby Bop did. She stood on the scale, got measured, let the doctor look in her eyes and ears, and didn't move as the doctor listened to her heartbeat. She even said "Ahhh" when the doctor asked. She did of course insist that the doctor do all these things to her doll as well so dolly also got a good check-up.
Now come all the numbers/percentages for all the family reading. Hannah is still off the charts for height at 39.5 inches. She is in the 50th-75th percentile for weight at 30lbs. She met all the standards for a 2.5 year old and impressed the doctor with her speech. The doctor said that people must think she's 3 or 4 based on her height and how well she speaks but must also be confused by her baby face and baby whispy hair. I had to laugh (and agree). We got the clean bill of health and Hannah even took her flu shot like a champ. I told her as soon as the nurse was done, she could have a sucker. The nurse stuck her and she looked like she was going to cry for about a half second and then asked "can I have a red sucker?". All the way home, she kept saying "Mommy I'm a good patient". No arguements here!
