I just realized that I never posted about Eleanor’s 2 Year Check-Up! Well, our pediatrician says she seems to be doing great. He was very impressed by how much and how well she talked. He laughed and said that he didn’t need to ask the developmental questions after he heard her ask Josh, “What’s that?…Oh, that a tissue box, Daddy?” As usual she was a real tough guy for her shot. No screaming, no tears, no nothing, not even a flinch! What a tough guy!
So, it’s official, Eleanor will be a giant. She is now 37.5 inches tall and weighs 24 lbs. This puts her in the 99th percentile for height, and only 15th percentile for weight. And you know what that means, yup, it is impossible to find pants that fit her! She is the average height of a 3 year old and the average weight of an 18 month old. She’s still tall and thin, just like her Daddy. Word on the street is that if you double a person’s 2-year-old height you can predict their full grown adult height. That would be amazing! This little one would be 6′3″! Yikes that is just too tall! We’ll see!
Last week Eleanor had her first real dentist appointment. If you remember, last January she fell and hurt her mouth so we had a quick emergency dentist visit then. But last week we had the first normal dentist appointment. Which meant that the hygienist, who was so nice and good with Eleanor, showed her all of the tools, and then the dentist came in and counted her teeth and told me to make sure to keep brushing her teeth myself until she is 6! I don’t know about that, I feel like she could learn to do a good job herself before then, but I guess we’ll see.

what a great plan – she’ll be 6′3″ and model for a few years and make a bunch of $$ to pay for her leisurely academic pursuits in “retirement”
Love it, Amy!
When I worked as a Judicial Extern in the family law court the Court Reporter’s daughter had started modeling and wanted to take time off of school to do it. She was so tall and gorgeous! I told her mom that she should at least finish high school but after that she should totally let her do it! How long are you going to be young and beautiful?! Make some money, get some life experience, and then go back to school. I would totally let Eleanor do that!
We are supposed to brush their teeth for them till they are SIX? What?! I was thinking like three or four, tops! Oh man.
She is going to be amazingly tall. But all good drummers are tall I think.
Oh Eleanor, why can’t you be a little shorter and fatter so all of us adult women aren’t jealous of you?

[...] turns out she’s the same height as she was at her 2-year check-up 37.5 inches! I think they over-measured her last year. At that time they were still measuring her [...]
