Elizabeth went for her two year old checkup this week. She hadn’t been to the doctor since her 18 month checkup. The doctor was pleasantly surprised since she was used to seeing Ben more frequently with ear infections at that age. Since Elizabeth hadn’t been to the doctor in so long and is often fearful of strangers and new situations, she was not too thrilled with this experience. She started by pinching and hitting Mom while screaming and crying. After a while she determined that Mom was her only hope to get out of there, so she clung for dear life and couldn’t even be separated so Mom could take her coat off. She calmed down after we got to read a book between the nurse and the doctor and somewhat tolerated the doctor. After we left she was very excited to show off her stickers and tongue depressor and talk about her visit to the doctor. She must have been relieved that it had ended without too much actual trauma.
She now weighs 23 pounds and 2 ounces (9%). She is gaining well, and remains on the low end of the growth curves as she has been her whole life. She is now 35.25 inches tall (86%). That is an increase of three inches in six months! And her head is still on the high end of the growth chart at 90%. The nurse told her she was tall, skinny and had a big brain. :)
