Hi friends and family,
Today Ellie went to her 18-month check up and she's right on track!
Her stats:
35 3/4 inches tall, 100% percentile (she's been 100% in height since 2 months old)
29.06 lbs, 95% percentile (actually this is the lowest percentile she's been since she was a week old)
She's the height and weight of a 50% percentile 2 1/2 year-old, and she's 1 1/2 years old ;)
So yes, she's a big little girl, but as the doctor points out, she's simply following the growth curve (side track-- just got to clean up Italian dressing off the carpet. She's curious too, ps.), her growth curve just started out higher than most babies and continues to be high.
Eleanor also got her second H1N1 booster shot, so she is all immunized. I just heard today from the nurse that the H1N1 vaccines are now available for the general public, so hopefully I can get one sometime soon.
A funny side note- while waiting to see the doctor, we found out there was another little girl (maybe 4?) named Eleanor there as well. The confusion arose when the nurse called for "Eleanor" and we both stood up ;)
Eleanor now recognized the song "Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer" when she hears it on the radio, and will point to her nose. We've been watching a few holiday clips on the computer, and she knew Frosty was a snowman when we first saw him (we have many snowman ornaments on our Christmas tree that she can locate if you ask her, too).
Excited to see some of you soon!
