Ana had her two-year doctors appointment yesterday. Here are her stats from the appt:
Height: 34 1/2″ (70th percentile)
Weight: 24 lbs 6 oz (20th percentile)
Ana had a great time at the doctors office yesterday because she didn’t have any shots at this appointment and still got to pick out a sticker! We came in a couple weeks ago to get her flu shot and they gave her the Hep A vaccination at that time as well. Since we were going to be taking Ana abroad they thought it was better to be safe than sorry.
During the check-up the doctor was chatting away with Ana, secretly testing her yet also distracting her from the examination, asking her questions (body parts, colors, animal noises, etc.) and she was firing off the answers (correctly, of course!) without even batting an eye. The doc was thoroughly impressed. He even tried to slip one over on Ana but she called him out on it and said, “Noooo. That not blue. That PURPLE.” He kept raising his eyebrows at us and we would just nod at him as if to say, “Yeah. We know.” Finally when the appointment was over and he was walking us out he said, “I don’t know what she is going to do, but she is going to be amazing at it.” I have never been more proud of Ana as I was at that moment. And the thing is, he is totally right.
What a great thing to hear from a doctor – to know your child is brilliant but to have someone on the outside validate your feelings. Job well done to you both for raising such a neat little person! I do hope to meet you all one day and have our little genius’s play together!
Been telling you all along that Ana’s development is far beyond her chronological age level ! And it’s attributed to you and Sim’s parenting and interaction. Plus all the activites she has @ playgroups and outings like Gymbere. We were all impressed with her birthday party @ Gymbere’s. Two full hours with 13 little ones and not a tear shead and everyone playing so well together!! It was fantastic to see 🙂 Love Mom/Nan
