Elliot's 2 Year Checkup

We went to the doctor today for her 2 year well check. This is a new pediatrician for her & he is wonderful. He's so nice and is very thorough. He even gave Elliot a book to keep. At this visit she had to have blood work done & get her TB shot. She didn't cry for either one. What a tough cookie. Here are her stats:

Height: 2 feet 9.47 inches (he said that's between the 25th & 50th percentile-that's a large range)
Weight: 24 lbs 14.8 oz (25%)
Head: 18.31 inches

*Elliot repeats what we say.
*She is starting to talk in sentences. Her most complex one is "I had fun swimming."
*She is a little snuggle bunny. When she's watching movies, she always asks me to sit down next to her & she'll lay her head on me. 
*She really enjoys taking showers with me. She thinks it's the best thing ever.
*She has a shoe fetish. She is constantly trying on her shoes, my shoes, friend's shoes & even boy's shoes.
*She loves candy, aka...gum & mints.
*This past week she's been great with nap/bed time. She's actually been putting herself to bed which is crazy! She'll just walk in her room, turn on her fan & climb into bed & pull the covers up. Then she'll say "night night". It's amazing!

She is getting so big. We are planning on coming to Texas in December before Japan. We miss you guys and we couldn't leave without meeting Mr Davis. I am glad Elliot is doing so well. I remember when Dominic started chewing gum. He was so proud of himself. She is such a big girl. :-)

I took Harrison to the doc today and he weighed 31.1 pounds and is 22 months. I can't wait to see the two of them together when we come visit next month.

She didn't cry for shots? And she puts herself to bed? Sounds like a perfect child!
