Such a big girl now.  In a big girl bed, picks out her own clothes, brings us diapers when she needs changing (yup potty training is coming soon), tells us when she is ready for bed, and even goes to sleep (and sleeps through the night) on her own.  We are so lucky.

Lauren saw Dr Beth today and our thoughts were just enforced more, she is always impressed at how advanced she is for her age, size, verbal skills, and her gross and fine motor skills, she is now about the size of an average 27 month old.  No wonder we are in the 2T clothes already.  We'll see if she starts leveling off on that curve, if not the few 3T outfits will come in very handy sooner rather than later.

Official measurements.
Head – 48.25 cm – 90th percentile
Height – 34" – 97th percentile (I thought she was going to be a little taller)
Weight – 26.2lbs – 80th percentile

We got the go ahead to start potty training if Lauren was interested, but she also told us that she would probably regress a little when July baby comes.  We also talked to her about not staying at the hospital any longer than we absolutely have to and she was ok with that.  With being Group B Strep positive she would like to see at least two rounds if not three of antibiotics before baby is born (with Lauren I had one, there wasn't time for any others), but she said that even if we don't she knows we would absolutely bring baby in if we thought he was getting sick.  We are just supposed to remind her when time gets close so she can talk to the other docs in her group in case she isn't around on the day baby is born.  Everything was good good good.  Even though we didn't have an appointment in the book.  When I scheduled Lauren's first H1N1 vaccine shot I also scheduled her 18-month check up and her 2nd shot to coincide…well apparently the appointment was never entered on their system, but they got us right in, really Dr Beth and her nurse Karen are the best.
