Two Year Check-Up

Rowenna has now had her second birthday party and her official two year well-baby visit. So, what are the vital stats for this kiddo?

  • 24 pounds, 6 ounces and 33 inches of perpetual motion
  • an infectious smile and a goofy little laugh
  • walking with a push toy, standing without using anything for support or balance
  • eating using a fork and spoon
  • a love of books, puzzles, and musical instruments
  • a handful of words and signs, and a million different facial expressions and sounds to let us know what she needs
  • giving hugs (complete with a little pat-pat-pat on the back) and kisses
  • “sings” along with the radio, tv theme songs, and the piano
  • mothering her baby dolls by snuggling them, patting them, feeding them, and walking them in her baby carriage
  • mothering Jax by snuggling him, patting him, feeding him from her tray, and attempting to give him a baby bottle (can a cat be sainted?)
  • a full schedule that consists of 3 hours of therapy, a swim lesson, two playgroups, a walk in the park, and a lunch date each week

It’s a good life. A busy life. A bursting with joy life. Thanks to everyone who reads about our adventures and celebrates this sweet girl right along with us!

Here are the vital stats:

-29.5 inches and 19 pounds, 11 ounces

-blonde hair that’s showing no sign of getting darker, despite both her parents being brunettes

-saying dada, mama, cat, and more

-signing more and dog

-self-feeding like a little champion, willing to try anything – even the spicy stuff!

-FINALLY holding her own bottle/cup

-crawling on all fours, pulling to stand, climbing stairs

-12 teeth with 2 more on the way

-able to scribble with a crayon

-opens books and turns pages, will “read” out loud to herself in the mirror

She’s something else, this little bundle of sunshine.

She cracks us up, keeps us on our toes, and is a constant source of snuggles, hugs and kisses. She is a joy to be around and we couldn’t be happier.

Looking forward to a lifetime of laughter with this little girl!
