Fall is here! Well, Fall as it is in the South. 60 degrees one day, 80 the next.
Our little 2 year old is fantastic! Her vocabulary is expanding daily. Her new favorite word is “OK.” If you ask her to do something, she’ll say “OK!” of course that’s when she chooses to not say “NO!” The NeNe’s (Uncle Anthony, Aunt Veronica & Aunt Katie) have also taught her “Woah Baby!” If she trips or something falls, that usually results with a “Woah Baby” response from Kaitlyn. It’s pretty cute. She is also starting to link more words together to form sentences which is exciting but scary. I love that she is able to talk to us more, but that also means that she is growing up and I don’t think I like that. She is no longer a baby, definitely a toddler!
Her 2 year check up went well. She does Not like going to the Dr’s! She now knows as soon as we turn into the parking lot and starts saying NO! Then we get inside and she’s very clingy. And once the nurse opens the door and calls her name, you can forget about it. She immediately starts saying NO and crying the whole way to the exam room. Kaitlyn is well known by the staff because she just cries at the sight of someone in the medical profession. She usually calms down once in the exam room while we wait for the nurse to come get us again to get weighed, and then it starts all over again. She cries the whole time on the scale, which by the way, she went on the big girl scale last time (the normal standing up scale).
She weighed 25lbs! She is in about the 25th percentile for height & weight, and the 75th percentile for her head size. Of course there were shots, seems like every appointment comes with shots, but the best news was that she is all caught up with her peers! You can no longer tell she was a preemie! We have a high risk appointment at MUSC next month, where they follow her progress. I’m excited to see what the Dr.’s there say.
Another piece of big news is that we are heading to New York City! Sean is going for a work conference so Kaitlyn, Papito and I will be joining him. I am super excited as it is going to be my 1st trip to NYC! We are going the week before Thanksgiving so I can’t wait to see everything decorated. If you have any tips and/or suggestions on places to go, please share. I will definitely share our experience when we come back.
