The Terrible 2's... Bring it on!

Hattie celebrated her second birthday on Saturday. Yesterday, she went for her two year well-visit. And, it went.. okay. Healthwise, she's awesome... Behavior-wise? Well, that's another story. After calling "Haiti" (seriously, how hard is it to pronounce HAT-TIE?) to a room and completely screwing up her "playing-with-the-train-and-watching-the-fish-in-the-waiting-room" agenda, the screaming began. And didn't really stop. After trying for almost five minutes to get a weight on the big scale, then the baby scale, the nurse finally left and said "Mom, maybe you can get a weight and just let me know." Um, okay.... and I did. Then, the doctor came in. God bless our pediatrician. I adore him. While Hattie screamed "Stop it! Ow! Stop it! Ow!" every time he came near  her, he just laughed and joked about the 5 two year well visits he had scheduled yesterday and how he thinks his office staff is trying to drive him away.... Which made me feel a teeny bit better- apparently NO ONE behaves for their two year appointments... 


We finally made it to the end. Hattie (somehow) got a sticker and raced back out to look at the fish in the waiting room before I even picked up my purse. Here's her stats and how she stacks up to her to big sisters: 


Height: 34"          Weight: 25 lbs 6 oz          Head Circ: 18.75" 
    (50th %)                       (25-50th %)                            (50th %) 
Maggie: 34.75"      Maggie: 26 lbs 14 oz        Maggie: 19" 
Lucy: 33.5"           Lucy: 24 lbs                    Lucy: 19" 


So, if there's one thing I've taken away from all those numbers... 
it's that Lucy is our giant-headed runt. 

Here's a picture of each of them at their 2nd birthday parties:
