Adalee had her two year old doctor's visit last week. She weighs 28 pounds and is 37 inches long. She is in the 50th% percentile for weight and 60th% for height. The doc said she looked very healthy and was very impressed with how smart she was. While I was talking with the doctor, Adalee was looking at an alphabet book. She kept telling us the letters and their sounds. The doctor was very surprised she would know that already. She also felt she had really good motor skills despite still having some issues with her foot turning in. Her only concern was her speech. She is talking more and more, but it isn't as clear as most children her age. No surprise there, since all 3 of my kids have had speech delays. She feels it could be her chronic ear infections/fluid issues so she wants us to do a hearing screening. She isn't too concerned, but wants to get things checked out before we move.
Here's what's happening with Adalee at 2:
*She is a loving little girl. She gives lots of kisses and hugs.
*She is such a little girl (when she isn't being a wild boy!). She loves dolls and jewelry and dresses, but also loves to run and wrestle and play in the dirt.
*She loves her boys! She is always about 1 step behind them. They are really including her in their games and activities. She feels like such a big girl.
*She is saying more and more everyday. I love how she says, "I don't know", "my turn", and at night when she prays the first thing she says is, "Dear God, Thank you for ME!"
*She is so smart. She knows most of her letters and sounds. She can tell you how old she is and is trying to count. She is even picking up a couple of words in French.
*I love her curls! She still has a wild mess of curly hair. She loves to lay on my lap when she is tired and have me run my fingers through it. I am going to miss that when she decides she doesn't like that anymore.
*There are so many things that make her special and unique. I look forward to seeing what God has planned for this little one.
Adalee, Mommy and Daddy love you very much!
