Mariah's 2 Year Doctor Visit

This past week, Mariah had her 2nd year doctor visit. Mostly it was all good news.

The stats:
Height: 32 in (10th percentile)
Head Circumference: 45 cm
Weight: 21.4 lbs (not on chart)
Height to Weight ratio: 5th percentile

According to Mariah's weight, she is in the 50th percentile for a 12 month old, but not on the scale for a 24 month old. But the doctor charted her birth weight, and Mariah is comparatively at the same place on the chart (at like 1st percentile or less). That might just be the way she grows. Of course the doctor encouraged me to keep feeding Mariah high fatty foods (if only I could get Mariah to eat them!).

But developmentally, the doctor was very impressed by what Mariah could do. I guess all those iPhone apps work! Mariah can already identify colors, numbers up to 10, almost all the letters, and most shapes. She's going to be a smart little thing! 

If only I could get her to eat her food!
