Callie went to the pediatrician today for her 2-year check-up. As usual, the nurse takes all her stats (height, weight, etc.) as we go in, and marks her chart for the doctor to review. As she's marking Callie's height, she says, "that can't be right. I'd better measure her again." I commented that we'd measured her at home and got the same thing. We could just tell, by how fast she'd been growing out of her clothes in the past few months, that she'd had a pretty big growth spurt. The nurse re-measured, came up with the same thing, and seemed nervous about leaving it "as is", because it just didn't fit Callie's growth curve. When the doctor came in, she said "Woah! Somebody's been growing!" Yep... Callie's measurements were correct. Yes, she's really jumped up the curve in height & weight, but it is proportional. The rest of her check-up was good, too. Her iron was out of this world for a child her age, but, then again, Callie does like her meat! Vegetables & fruit are another story. We try every way we can to get her to eat those :)
From her 18-month to 24-month check-up, Callie has gained 5 pounds AND grown 5 inches!
She jumped from 25th-50th percentile in height & weight, to 75th-90th! You go, Callie-girl!
24-month stats:
Weight = 29.5 lbs
Height = 36 inches
Callie in camo :)
