2.5 year check ups

[zandeela]

Has anyone gone in for their 2.5 year check ups? 

We went yesterday.  32.5#, 39 inches.  Doing well  with speech and motor function.  Was a very good girl.  Colored while the DR listened to her, looked in her ears, opened her mouth and focused when he needed to looked in her eyes.  We went ahead and gave her a flu shot since she is in daycare, but will have to go back in a month for the other half (they split the dose).  She is in 3T tops and 4T pants. 

How is everyone's LO's doing?

Our pedi doesn't do another checkup until 3, after 2 they become yearly for us. I know she is 36" exact because when we went to the amusement park we had to measure her. We are in mostly 3T shirts and in between 2T & 3T for pants. She has a large vocabulary and sometimes it feels like she never stops talking

We also don't have another checkup until 3 (although we're going in tomorrow to get her flu shot). She is a little over 34", unsure on weight. We are in 3T shirts and pants. She has a large vocab and a huge imagination (invents imaginary creatures in our house, finds random objects and pretends they are other things, etc). Her memory is crazy also. She knows a ton of songs (and will make up her own to tunes she knows), and has memorized multiple books that she will "read" to herself, lol.

I don't think my pedi does checkups at 2.5 either. She is in 3T everything. She is tall so the 2T stuff is too short. Her vocabulary grows daily and she also has a huge imagination. She loves to sing, dance, and swim. She has cute little things she says like when she talks about her pinky toe. She calls it her plinky toe. It makes me smile and laugh every time she says it.
She also has become very independent and sassy.

Our pedi doesn't do 2.5 year check ups either. Although I wish they did!
I think DD is around 30 lbs. She's in 2T right now, but I bought her winter stuff in 3T. She talks so much at home. Telling stories, full blown sentences. But is completely silent out in public or in front of visitors. Sometimes after awhile she will open up, mostly when it's adults. Kids kinda freaking her out, especially ones who get right up in her personal space. I'm trying not to worry about it. We still haven't potty trained because of a poop holding issue that we're finally starting to make some progress on I think. She's really excited about her baby sister coming next month. She is all about babies! She loves being outside. And she recently became obsessed with Frozen. Other than that, we do play groups and swim class and stuff.

Just went today! She's 34" and 30lbs and solid. 2T in clothes. She also got her flu shot today. We talk about her being very verbal and it was nice that she actually did talk at her appointment. She plays by herself and has an active imagination. She also doesn't forget things lol. She likes to remind DH of when he spilled dinner on the couch...a month or so ago.

That is funny about the spilled dinner. We have a pretty solid memory here too, sometimes too good. The other night I wasn't home, she ripped something in a book and my husband fixed her and told her we wouldn't tell mommy. The first thing she did the next morning was tell me about the Santa hand she ripped.

We don't have a 2.5 visit either. The last time E stepped on our scale she was 33lbs. She's SUPER tall. Everywhere we go people think she's 3 or 4 yrs old based on her height. We're in 4T leggings and 3-4T shirts.

She's getting really excited about having a baby brother. It's adorable. Every time she sees a baby she says "My mommy's got a baby in her belly. I'm getting a baby brother!"

We don't go back until 3 either. E is about 29 pounds and I think about 34 or 35 inches. She is just starting to outgrow her 24 month pants, and some of her 24 month shirts so anything new will be 2T.

She LOVES Frozen, and is really into Barbies right now (though they are always naked, lol). Her sentences have gotten much better, she speaks in at least 3-4 word sentences. She's like a 2 year old going on 12, so much attitude and sass. She loves junk, she will carry around the oddest assortment of junk (one Barbie ballerina shoe, a penny, a hair tie, and a barette).


I know she doesn't really understand, but she knows about her big sister in Heaven. Her clothes are in a shadow box in E's room, and anytime I mention her name she points to the shadow box. When we go to the cemetery, she excitedly yells Kia! (Kayla).

She also has a crazy good memory. My dad's TV broke, and it was on the second floor. It was one of those huge tube TV's and he didn't feel like carrying it down the stairs, so he had my husband and brother toss it over the balcony (he lives in the country, so no neighbors right next door). First it scared her, then all night, and even for weeks afterward she would say TV broken. Daddy and Joe Joe, TV broken.

Tabitha just went today.

Height: 35.91" -51st percentile
Weight: 28lb 11oz -49th percentile

She is still wearing 2T stuff, but we're buying 3T for new clothes and switching her over.

She has a good vocabulary, knows all her letters and colors, can almost say the whole ABC song and can count to 7 or 8 depending on the day (not accurately counting objects yet). She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - Goofy and Donald Duck are her favorites. She also really likes Daniel Tiger. She likes Frozen, Bee Movie and The Peanut Movie, but recently wants movies changed after an hour.

Things she's not doing on the 30 month questionnaire: she can't jump, she's not copying our play, she can't draw a circle and she doesn't copy us when we draw a line across paper.
