2 Year Check-up

Amelia had her two year check-up and I wanted to post her stats so we can keep track.


Weight - 24 lbs    25th percentile
Height - 33.5 in.   50th percentile


Not bad!  Our pediatrician is using the WHO health charts to measure which is great for us because it puts her higher on the scales.  Compared to U.S. babies she's practically starving.  But compared to the rest of the world, she's just slightly petite!  Thank you, Asia:)  I'm still able to fit her into 18-24 month clothes and we'll be in those for some time still.  The next size up is 2T which is huge on her.

Funny things Amelia says...

Now that Amelia is talking, some of the stuff she says is worth recording.  I can't film all of it but I can put in print so at least we will remember it through the years.  As a side note, the kid never quits talking.  It's a constant stream of words, thoughts and songs.  Let me say that it is never a dull moment around here!

Amelia speak:

"Are you kidding me?"  -  and with all of the inflections associated with that phrase.  She heard me saying it one day when I was mad at something Martin did.  It hasn't stopped being funny.  She sometimes says "Are you serious?" - equally as funny.

"Knock it off, Daddy"

"Oh shit!"   -  we're trying to discourage this one but she actually used it appropriately the other day when she dropped her cup. 

"I wanna carry you"  -  meaning she wants one of us to carry her.  She will also say "I wanna hold you" and it means the same thing.

"Mommy feel better.  I hug you and you feel better."  -  this one melted my heart!  I told her not to drink from my glass because I wasn't feeling well.  Then she said this to me!  It was so sweet!

"Mommy farted"   -  actually I didn't, although sometimes...  I'm pregnant so gas happens.  Either way, whenever she hears a sound that is similar to a fart she assumes someone farted and likes to call it out.  She did this to me at Einstein Bagels the other day and people started laughing.  I think it was the sound of the chairs moving.  Really!

I'll make sure to post more as she comes up with it.
