2 year old appointment

Keatin had her 2 year old doctor's appointment this morning. I honestly think this was the first time we had set foot in the pediatrician's office since her 18 month appointment...which is CRAZY because we were there CONSTANTLY before her tubes were put in!

I have it written in Keatin's baby book that Dr. Paschen said she was "perfect" when she was an infant...and he used those exact words again today. :) He also made the comment to the effect of - "Well, obviously her speech is developing quite well" as she CHATTED and CHATTED the whole time he was seeing her. She was SUCH a good girl, and so funny. She kept laying down on the table and telling Dr. Paschen - "check ears." :)

She weighed in at 26 pounds, 12 ounces - 50th percentile. (I predicted between 26-27 pounds before we went). And she was 35 3/4 inches tall - 90th percentile! I KNEW she looked tall compared to some other kids! :) She also got one shot in her arm, one prick of the finger, AND her flu/H1N1 combination shot/nose mist...so we don't have to do that later. Aunt Jen happened to be driving through town, and she went with us...she spent most of the time giggling at Keatin. :)

I walked out thinking - WOW...I have a 2 year old! I am SO proud of the little "girl" she is becoming...and love her to pieces. :)

ON A SIDE NOTE...

• We had Keatin's 2 year pictures taken on Monday evening. When the photographers post a "preview" on their blog, I will give you the link to check it out. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! (Click HERE to take a walk back in time and see her 1 year pics.) :)
  
• Josh and I ripped up the carpet in our spare bedroom in the basement last night. It was still wet, and we knew the only way to get it DRY, DRY was to get it up so the pad could air out...which turned into the pad completely ripping and Josh carrying it in pieces to the curb. :( SO...our carpet is draped over chairs/tubs in the main room of our basement drying...the cement floor is drying...and eventually, we will have to get a new pad/get the carpet re-tacked down. Luckily, the only room that is wet is the bedroom area. Please pray for NO MORE RAIN in Ames.
