Julia's 2 yr dr appt

Julia had a wonderful visit with Dr. G today. She was pronounced very healthy and right on target developmentally for a 2 year old. Though Dr. G was concerned that she may be a bit too trusting, I assured her that in truth she is definitely not. There are a few rare people that Julia will go to so willingly and thankfully Dr. G is one of them! We missed out on shots today because the base was all out of what she needed so we'll have to go back up in a few days and try that again. I don't think Julia was upset at all that she couldn't have them today. ;)

She weighed in at 26.3 lbs (25percentile) and they said 34 and 3/4" tall however she was LEANING against the wall not standing up straight at all, so I believe that's 35", I couldn't believe the tech didn't straighten her or give me the chance to. But safe to say 35" and 75th percentile for height. We are all agreed that regardless she's very tall.

Dr. G is convinced that Julia will do well in school and be anything she wants to be, as are we :) She was impressed with how much focus Julia has when checking out something new, and with how mellow she was. She kept saying "not hyper at all" nope, active when she wants to be but definitely not hyper. All in all a good visit :)

If you double the height at 2 this is supposed to be their height at full growth. that would mean Julia is going to be 5'7 5'8 ish pretty tall for a girl. I think that is way above average don't you? I wonder where they get their charts from?

You did a great job with keeping track of the measurements. I've never been able to remember all that and I forget to write it down.
