2 year check-up

Chloe had her two year check up with Dr. Vogler today. She's doing great! She cried the whole time though. She doesn't like him or rather she remembers the shots -- or just doesn't like any part of it!! The minute he walks into the room she won't make eye contact with him. :). He said they usually enjoy the Drs when they turn 3! After we left, she kept saying "More Doctor" on the ride home. Chloe will talk to him at the appointments, but only if I'm holding her. And her face is usually buried in my shoulder. She kept saying "Time to go Mommy?" Especially when the dr reached for the shots. She knew....

She got two shots and had blood drawn from her finger. :( They pricked her thumb and then fill a vial. It takes forever. I can't stand it. I didn't know who to feel more sorry for, Chloe, who was crying while they were drawing (or rather squeezing) blood, or Sean, who looked totally stressed watching Chloe get her blood drawn. We tried to distract her but her eyes were glued to the nurse who was taking her blood. It's heart breaking watching her cry and waiting patiently for them to finish.

Her stats:

35 & 1/4 inches tall (85%)
27.2 pounds (Not sure what percentile)

We asked the Dr what he estimates Chloe's height to be when she's an adult. He thinks 5'7'' or 5'8''.

We can switch to low fat milk - either 1% or Skim. Might take awhile to get her used to the lesser fat!

We also talked about how Chloe's world will be rocked in November with the new baby. The dr suggested that Sean should periodically take the baby while I spend some quality time with Chloe. He also warned that Chloe will probably act up and told us to reward only the good behavior. And when she acts up she'll need to go in time out. Another thing we haven't had to do yet.

He also said we shouldn't try anything new with Chloe until the baby is at least 3 months old, then we can revisit. This includes holding off on potty training, letting her continue with the pacifier and keeping her in a crib (unless she starts climbing out).
