The Stats
48 lbs - 82%
3 ft 8.25 inches - 88%
The doctor said she was perfect. She was right in line with the kids her age. They took at cholesteral screen, which came back kind of high. We are going to do a fasting lipid test tomorrow. There could be a number of reasons why it was high including the fact that she was drinking chocolate milk before her test.

2-year appointment
So we had BabyP's 2 year check up today. He is developmentally right where he should be. He talks and does all the things that 2 year olds should do.
The stats are
W- 26 lbs 12.8 oz or 37%
L - 35.75 or 83% - which i don't really believe. I think he is taller than that. I think 2 year olds are next to impossible to measure correctly. I don't think she is off by any more than 1/2 an inch though.
Head - 19.5 inches or 72%
We talked a little about how babyP doesn't eat crap at dinner. The doctor gave me a sheet that comes out of a book that I own and go by. It made me feel 100% better that my pediatrician hands me advice that I am already following. I always question myself and wonder if I am way out in left field with things. I just need to be patient with him at dinner and let him do what he wants to do. I do think that when we get home from school there will be NO SNACKS. Well, maybe just some crackers in the car.
On a positive note, he did eat some of the bean soup he was served at dinner. On a more positive note, Mr. T. made it from the recipe list that I make each week. It was super tasty.
We also talked a little bit about calcium. It sounds like both kids will be getting a tums each night with dinner to be sure that they are getting enough calcium.
I was surprised how much baby P talked during the visit. He doesn't get a lot of talk time with me, so it was nice to for it to just be us. I might take next Friday off to be with just him for his birthday.

words
I could have sworn BabyP said tonight "I want pup" or... I want up in human terms.
I think the "I" was an accident.
but the want was not.
It seems that as soon as he turned 18 months, his language just exploded.
And for other stuff.
We went to the doctor yesterday. I asked about the continued coughing. There was no real answer, but there was some note taking.
We talked about his language, and the doctor thought it was fine. He even said he was doing good. He does have a lot of words, but not a lot of them can be understood by other people.
His stats are
weight 25 lbs 13.8 oz. - 46%
length 34.5 inches - 93% (I never really trust the length)
Head circumference - 19 inches or 61%. (and if case you were wondering that is only about 2.5 inches bigger than it was when he was born, and yes you should pity me)
The nurses took some blood to run an allergy test. It was pretty awful, but at least we will get some answers on his allergies. He was really angry when we held him down, but as soon as I could hold him, he was fine.

Love Letter to a 15 month Old
Dear BabyP,
You turned 15 months old. You are a master at walking backwards and saying good-bye. It is really funny to see you walk backwards because you don't really look behind you, you just kind of look out of the corner of your eye and smile really big.
I don't have to tell you that you are my joy. Most of the time you are a squealing sweet little boy who is an absolute joy to be around. You love to laugh and are quick to figure things out. Your temper continues to be an issue, but you seem to have it more in check these days. I have made some adjustments to how I respond to your fits, and they seem to be paying off. Instead of paying attention to them, I just leave you alone and walk away. Amazingly, this simple trick seems to be working wonders. Other tricks up my sleeve are to be sure that you never are hungry or tired.
You are good at following directions. It is pretty amazing, that this little blob that was simply rolling around the floor a couple of months ago can now go and get his favorite dog. You can also tell me when you want a snack by either lunging violently towards the snack and saying "THAT" or pointing to the closet with all the snacks in it.
I think my favorite thing about the age you are now is that you can communicate a little. You can point to your cup or to some food. You get really excited near dinner time and walking wildly towards your chair when you think you are about to get your dinner. You also pull my pants legs and stick your arms way up in the air when you want to be cuddled.
I think you are the best cuddler. You throw your two skinny arms around my neck and say "hmmmmm" while squeezing with all your might. The best thing about your cuddles, is that lots of people partake of them: grandma, grandpa, sister and the people at the dayschool. It always makes whoever is the recipient feel like they won the lottery.
I took you to the doctor's office for your 15 month check up. The doctor was impressed with all the words you say. (She was also impressed with how sweet and cute you are.) I was certain you were going to be a late talker, but that doesn't seem to be the case. You say momma, daddy, daisy, bye bye, hey and puppy with regularity. You also say thank you, ball, and sister. If someone didn't know you were saying them, they wouldn't be able to tell. You are trying to say grandma and papa and lots of other words that we just haven't been able to understand yet.
The nurse measured you at 33 inches (90%) and 23 and a half pounds (50%). I think you are more like 33.5 inches. I don't think the nurse measured right. You are very light, but I think most of that had to do with you being ill the last week. You didn't really eat any substantial food for 3 days.
The thing that has really come out this month is your sense of humor. You love to make me laugh. Your laugh is infectious, so if you are laughing pretty much everyone else in the room is laughing too. I have noticed you doing things on purpose for a laugh. I read a card the other day which made me giggle. You took the card from me, opened it, and forced a laugh. I giggled. You then opened the card again, laughed, and looked at me. You must have done that three times before you found something shiny to toddle towards.
You are a dear sweet boy. We are lucky parents. My hope for you next month is that you keep the streak you were on and Not Get Sick. This last little bout of whatever was awful. You deserve to be well for a while.
I love you,
Your mum

One year Check-Up
The stats are 23 lb and 32.25 inches long. That makes him 75% in weight and still off the charts for height. His head is 18.5 inch around. (they always do the head so quickly that i don't understand how they get a good reading). He is 2.5 inches taller and 1 pound heavier than his sister was at the same age.
Baby P talked the whole time we were in the room. When Dr. Lu walked in he remarked that obviously he was vocalizing okay. I told him that we did have some words, which really surprised me. He went from not vocalizing at all to saying some words.
Did I tell you that I think baby P might be saying my name? When he seems me he says LaLa. He also sometimes calls LALA really loud when I am not in the room. Who knows! He is a funny old gus.
We are in a vaccine trial. We lucked out and were put in the control group so we don't have to take any additional shots. HURRAY!! He will still have to do blood draws, but that is fine. It is all worth it for science. I love the idea of studies like this. It makes me feel like I am part of something much bigger than myself.

Weekend
Saturday was a whirlwind of Parties. The kids went to a party in the morning. In the afternoon, BabyP came with me to a baby shower. Mr. T. was working, so my father was called to watch peanut so I wouldn't be chasing her around my friends house yelling at her to put things down.
Today was chore and family day. I managed to get a lot of the outside things done. I love yardwork. I haven't worked in the yard for over two years. Peanut is old enough now that she can actually help me. She held the bag and made sure that I always had something to listen to. She also changed her outfits periodically throughout the day to be sure that I had enough laundry to do.
We are going to put a vegetable garden in this year. Our trip to the hardware store also brought back some blueberries and raspberries. I want to plant them at the edge of our patio, but first I need to pull out the privet that is there. I hate privet. Our garden this year is going to be small because I don't know exactly what I want to do with it, nor where I really want to put it. Our yard looks so different than it did last year. It makes me a little sad because all my beautiful grass was destroyed when the hauled the trees out.
Peanut is really into her clothes. She puts on the most ridiculous outfits. She is so proud of herself. "Do I look beautiful?" "Do I look pretty?" I don't want to tell her she looks like a crazy bag lady, so I say. "You look really pretty, but you don't really match." Matching is hard. I still have problems with it these days.
Today she put on a "bra" (tank top), her dress, and two shirts. She said "I look styley". We went to wal-mart, and she was complaining about how hot she was. She was saying she was really sweaty. Only then did Mr. T. and realize that she was walking around in 4 shirts. Man, she must have been hot. We wore her out today. Here is a picture of her on the way home.
Notice the crayons in her hands? She is such a lunatic. I could just eat her up.
Baby P has been crying off and on while I write this. Hopefully, those teeth are coming in completely so he won't be so testy. He is starting to not want to eat anything off the spoon. I wonder if the finickiness has to do with his teething. I can see two big molars making his gums looks white. Poor bear. He just wants his momma.
I was looking at him in the exersaucer today. He is starting to look long and lanky. He is 22.25 pounds. He is at the 75% for weight. He is still off the charts for height at 31.5 inches. His head is in the 90%. He is a big fella, who is on the move. He is really trying to stand on his own. He pulls his hands completely off and can hold it for a couple of seconds before he crashes down in tears. He is getting pretty good at cruising.
it won't be long now... sigh...

Today and STATS
I started off the day running late and getting a little chew at work. So I kinda figured the whole day would go like that. Luckily it turned around.
We went to the doctor for Baby P's 6 month check up. He is 20 pounds and 29.5 inches long. He is back on the growth chart for weight, something I figured would happen. He is in the 90th percentile. About this time peanut started falling in the weight department too. He is still off the charts for height. (and cuteness, sweetness and braininess). He handled his shots pretty well. Remember that at 6 months they get a lot of shots. In addition, he also got his flu shot and his meningitis vaccine shot. He was dragged all over the place this afternoon (obviously being with me isn't as relaxing as going to school). He got a little bit of a nap here and there totaling about 1.5 hours. It wasn't until we got home at about 430 that he really started to act like a sick baby. He wanted to be held. I finally got him to sleep around 6 or so. He didn't get any Tylenol until about 430 so i hope he wasn't too miserable before then.
We went to Michaels after I picked peanut up to get some equipment for our pine cone turkeys and the advent calendar I am making. Peanut was yelling at me that Miss Karen told her she needed a hair cut. She needed a NEW hair cut. A DIFFERENT hair cut. We finally found our way to that new Pig Tails and Crew Cuts. It was awesome. They gave peanut some animal crackers. She got to choose which vehicle she wanted to sit in for her hair cut (their chairs are really car like things that you see at KMart or Toys R Us). The staff was great and fast and CHEAP. With tip, it was 20 dollars. I really like the hair cut. It is stacked a little in the back, and they cut the bangs short like I like them.
And when we got home we made a pie while Mr. T. was wheeling and dealing to sell the Honda. After tomorrow, we will only have 4 cars. What luxury! Maybe people can park in our driveway when they come see us.
What a BIG Day!
Tomorrow Peanut and I both have appointments and hopefully that ends our appointment stuff until the end of Peanut needs her 3 year.

that kid
went to the doctor yesterday for baby p's 4 month.
He is 18 pounds completely empty (he now thinks lunch feedings are play time. "hey mom" (smile smile smile) "You are so funny. I adore you" (smile smile smile)). He is also 28.5 inches long, which means he no longer fits in the infant carrier. He is off the charts for height, and barely off for weight. maybe 98% or something like that for weight.
and he is perfect. the doctor told me so.

Big for his age
That is a bit of an understatement. He was off the charts for weight by just a bit. He was really off the charts for height.
Weight - 15 lb 2 oz
Height - 26 inches
head - 16.5 inches.
In case you were wondering, he has grown 5 inches since he was born almost 11 weeks ago. i think he might be part fish adapting to the size of his tank.

not that it matters...
but since she was screaming and crying when we measured her yesterday, i went back and did it again today. She was 35.5 inches. Yesterday they recorded her at 34.5 inches. i marked her head and didn't do a very good job.
Dr. Visit
We went to the doctor yesterday for probably the least enjoyable well child visit ever. First, we had to wait, which we generally don't do. AND, Peanut missed her snack, which makes her GRUMPY. Peanut is of the age where she understands when something isn't right. For example, taking all her clothes off in a small room and marching her out to weird chair to sit down. Peanut started to panic. She hated getting measurements of weight, height, and especially her head. I can't say that I blame her. I tried to explain to her that we were going to the doctor to get her measurements, but I don't think I did such a good job.
She also hated getting having the doctor look at her or touch her. She was telling him "NO!" and saying "I want to put on my clothes". He was great though. He tickeled her and she loved it. She was also pretty intrigued with ear light.
With the measurements we got, she is at 80% for height and weight. That is up for weight and down for height. I've noticed and others have commented that she has gotten bigger, so I wonder if she is about to shoot up again. She is now out of her 24 months clothes (almost overnight). They are all too short for her.
She did well with the shot. She kinda paniced a little, but was pretty happy when they put a pink band-aid on her "oh sticker". They gave her a curious George sticker after getting her shots. "I want to show daddy my monkey stickers."
The doctor and I both agreed that she is adorable and developing really well.

Stats
weight - 25.5 lbs or 11.7 kilos - a lot lower than I thought it would be.
height - 33.5 inches or 82 cm.
She is in the 90% for height and the 70% for weight. She is pretty consistent in her percentiles. It is interesting to see the graphs for them.

Crisis Averted!
I have been totally worried about peanut being short. I took her height measurements at 11 months and came up with 29 inches. That is the in 65 percentile. The equivalent of 5'5" (yes, I looked that up). SHORT. I know it is stupid, and we shouldn't be worried about numbers and percentiles, but.... I am a nerd. Numbers are what I get paid to worry about. And... I am TALL. It would be weird to have a short daughter. What if I don't relate to her or what if I couldn't ever hear her talk because she is so short...
anyway, we went to the doctor, and she isn't short. She is 30.75 inches tall, which is the 90%. She is also 22 lbs which is the 70%. A big relief on my part.
Peanut is getting really good at walking. She is starting to try to stand up on her own in the middle of the room but still hasn't gotten it yet.
She has also been destroying my stuff lately. She has torn the space bar off my computer breaking it permanently. She has also torn the little joy stick off my phone making it virtually impossible to call people using the address book.
oh well. what is a few hundred dollars when you get such a beautiful smile each day!
