Allie's 2 Year Check-up

I didn't plan very well when I made Allie's 2 year checkup appointment on Halloween. I remember thinking, "Oct. 31st...what do we have going that day?" Can you tell our lives are busy? It wasn't until a couple of days later when I was looking through my calendar and saw HALLOWEEN on the 31st that I realized it. I decided to keep it because I didn't know when we'd be able to reschedule with my school schedule. So poor Allie had to get 2 shots on Halloween. Nick and I were just happy she was actually not sick this year. Her last two Halloweens she was sick and we haven't been able to take her trick-or-treating. After getting her shots Allie and I butted heads all day because she refused to take a nap, but once we got her into her costume she finally got in a better mood...ok, maybe I did too. (My mom thinks I'm crazy when I say Allie and I fight because she is only 2, but let me tell you, that little girl has spunk!)

AFTER:

What a brave little girl she is! These pictures break my heart because you can see the little tears in her eyes. She only cried for a couple of seconds until I told her to show me her bandaids so I could take a picture. Poor little Allie!

Allie's 2 Year Stats:

Height: 34 1/4 in. (60%)

Weight: 28 lbs (65%)

Head Circumference: 19 1/2 in. (92%) She has almost always been in the 90% for this. No wonder we are always trying to shove her head through the little neck holes in the shirts!

**The rest of this post is purely for journaling purposes. I figure since I'm not doing a very good job keeping another journal I had better write things down here. These are Allie's stats for every routine checkup appointment. (Thankgoodness Gilbert Peds gives you a little half sheet of paper with the stats on them!)**
