2 Year Stats

You know when you're out in public with your kids, and you get into a conversation with someone who also has kids, there's really only one thing to talk about.

You got it.  Kids. 

The one thing I hear all the time is how tall they are for their age.  Even the nurse at Dr. P's office today said (and I quote), "Are you here for their 2 year or 3 year checkup?"  I actually wasn't sure how to respond so I just giggled and didn't say anything.  When what I really wanted to say was, "You're kidding, right?  You do know you're carrying around their chart right there in you hand."  But of course, I never would, I'm way too much of a pleaser.

As you can imagine, I was thinking we might come away with some high percentiles, at least in the height department.

As for Bub's weight, even though he's been eating great, he's still a skinny kid.  Not scary skinny, just tall and thin skinny.  The biggest difference: he's starting to enjoy eating.  Which got me to thinking ... now that he's overcome the eating (and some of the sensory) issues, maybe "tall and thin" was going to be his body style all along.  Combine that with an extra high activity level and an extra fast metabolism.  All things considered, I knew I'd be ecstatic with anything above 20%.
