2 Year Check-up

We had Josie's 2 year-old check-up today. As we walked back to the exam room, Josie said, "This is fun!" She did great and fully cooperated with the doctor and nurse. She didn't like having to lay down on the table to be measured or having to lose the diaper to be weighed, but other than that, she thought it was all good fun. Plus, the doctor gave her a new book, so she was a happy camper. Here are her 2 year stats:
Height: 34.5" (69%)
Weight: 27 lbs 5 oz (59%)

We were a little surprised with her being TALL (Justin and I are anything but tall...) but we were not surprised to find that her head circumference is still in the 95th percentile. She needs a big head to hold her big ol' brain! According to the doctor, by 2 years old, Josie should know fifty words or more and be able to put two or more words together. Parents should understand 75% of the time and strangers about 50%. For those of you who don't know Josie, I don't think I could even guess how many words she knows. She's been speaking in complete sentences for months now. I understand about 95% of what she says, and strangers can understand about 75% of the time. Needless to say, she is quite advanced in the speech category. She's right on track with all her other development. Besides all that, she's pretty cute. :)

"hold her big 'ol brain" lol. That's great that she's able to talk that much. Most 2 year olds are really all jibberish to me.
