2 year stats

Helaina had her 2 year well check-up at her pediatrician last Friday. Overall, she received a clean bill of health. We were not the least bit surprised to learn that she is still in the 100th percentile for weight, 34 lbs, and the 90th percentile for height, 35 1/2 inches. The doctor recommended 2% milk exclusively and cutting out the whole milk. There's a good chance she'll slim out the older she gets, but Randy and I continue to be conscious of her food choices, eating habits, and portion sizes.

The pediatrician was very pleased with Helaina's verbal and communication skills. She speaks full sentences and tends to articulate very well. She's living proof that toddlers/kids soak up language like a sponge. I am amazed at how well she speaks and understands the Arabic language. At one point, we were learning the language together, but she's surpassing me with leaps and bounds!

We are beginning to talk to her more about Baby Freij #2 and trying to help her understand that the day is quickly approaching that her little brother/sister will be arriving. Randy and I are becoming increasingly curious about the sex of the baby and what he/she will look like. It's going to be an exciting couple weeks in our home :)!
