As I was looking for Vivian's 2 year well-visit to compare to Annelee's just now, I noticed that I had written most of it, but had never published it. Whoops. So, I figured I might as well give you both of them in one post.
As an aside, I read somewhere that you get a person's likely adult height if you double their height at 2 years. Both of our girls will be just over 6 ft according to that, and I guess that falls right in line with their parents being tall.
********
Vivian
Let's get straight to the vitals:
Weight: 30.0 lbs
Height: 37 in
Hair: Dark blond
Eyes: Pink
Wait a second. Pink? Aren't they supposed to be blue? I had noticed that one of Vivian's eyes was a tad pink when she woke up that morning, but I hadn't thought much of it until the pediatrician diagnosed her with pink eyes. Drops for a week - three times a day - a huge struggle every time. But, it's what needs to be done if Vivian is to return to daycare.
On a more positive note, the rest of the visit went really well. As the pediatrician walked in, Vivian was saying "sticker". The pediatrician said "Wow. Just with that one word I'm definitely not worried about her language skills. That was a perfect 'st'."
She was fine with everything else, too. Reassured me that knock-knees are common at Vivian's age and often correct themselves.
Gave us some tips about discouraging Vivian's repeated coming out of her room after we've put her to bed, and her need for one of us to come into her room pretty much every night.
There were no vaccinations done; but she is still due for one. I will schedule that in a couple of weeks, hopefully in conjunction with an H1N1 booster, and even a regular flu shot if they have that.
********
Annelee
Again, let's get the height/weight out of the way first. Annelee continues to outweigh Vivian by a few pounds and is just a tad shorter than Vivian. But at least she didn't have pink eye (she got that out of the way about a month ago ;) )
Weight: 31lb 11oz (14.4 kg). This puts her in the 93rd percentile
Height: 36.75 in (93.3 cm). This puts her in the 98th percentile
Hair: More than Vivian at that age. More blond, more curls, more length
After we were asking about her walking (or lack thereof) at our last visit (which also didn't get written up, sorry), Annelee was zooming around the doctor's office as Dr Kisslinger walked in. Most definitely no concern there anymore. We do still need to go back and have her hip double-checked, but in all likelihood, it's just a formality.
Annelee got her cough checked out, we talked about her rash a couple of weeks ago with the fever (probably just one of those viral things that 2-year olds are prone to in the summer time), but her lungs are clear. Again, all is good.
Language is something we are going to watch, but Dr Kisslinger said she was just looking for some two-word phrases and a handful of distinct words at this point, and we have that pretty much covered. As usual, our kids listen to what the pediatrician said, and Annelee suddenly is digging out the word books to practice words and starting to chat more. I'm pretty sure she will not need to be evaluated for language next time we go to the pediatrician.
Just like Vivian, Annelee did not need any vaccinations this time around, so yay!
Back for another well visit in 6 months (and hopefully none inbetween).
Now, if only I could remember the tips the pediatrician gave us for discouraging Vivian from coming out of her room every evening and most nights, they would still come in handy ... for Annelee ... :)
