Lucy had her 2-year checkup this week. She is still a t-i-n-y girl. Tiny and tall. She weighed 23.6 pounds and was 34 inches tall. Her doctor said that you can determine a person’s height by doubling their height at age 2, and that puts Lucy at a predicted height of 68 inches, or 5’8″. I find that hard to believe because neither Joe nor I are tall, but there are some tall people on my side of the family, so I guess we’ll see.

She also had to get two shots — her second flu shot and her last Hep A shot. 🙁

Before we were called back, I had to fill out a questionnaire, which I later was told was an autism screening. One of the questions asked if I thought my child might be deaf. That’s not really a fair question since what child listens??

Lucy’s appointment went well besides, you know, the 2-year-old tantrums. Luckily, the nurse said that it’s normal behavior for these appointments. That didn’t help me feel much better, but it is what it is. I am just thankful we don’t go back until her 3-year-old checkup.
