Here are her stats:
- Weight: 23 lb 12.5 oz (66%)
- Height: 32 inches (56%)
- Head Circumference: 47.6 (83%)
I had a feeling that she had had a pretty big growth spurt because in December her 18 month clothes were still pretty big on her and by mid January her 18 month shirts were tight. Her pants still seem to fit pretty well.
Some things that I wanted to talk to the doctor about were:
- Potty Training - I want to start this summer after Amber's wedding, so mid June. I am looking for guidance at the best/easiest way to do it.
- The doctor said the best way is to just jump all in. Pick a week we can be home a lot, put her in panties and go for it. However, the week after Amber's wedding Emma will be on her last week of swim lessons, so we will have to wait until those are over.
- Eye Exams - Bobby wears glasses/contacts so not sure if we need to start eye exams at a certain age, or just wait until she starts complaining about not being able to see clearly.
- They actually gave her an eye exam and said that will do that yearly so unless there is an issue we should be good.
- Naps - I hate that her naps are at 11:30. I realize it is a good time for daycare, but at home the time sucks, especially on the weekends because it is right in the middle of lunch time. She isn't sleeping for more than an hour if that at home (at daycare they say she is sleeping 1.5-2 hrs, but I don't believe it). I would really like to get her naps later, at around 1 pm.
- The doctor said to move it between 1 and 1:30. We did that and it has been so much better, I don't think she gets worn out as fast at home as she does at daycare so 11:30 was just too early.
- Consequences - we have been dealing with biting and hitting. We have been doing 30 second time outs if she doesn't stop after we tell her no. Some days it seems to work ok and some days it doesn't.
- The doctor said what we are doing is great. Just be consistent, which is really hard. However it seems to be working.
Overall she is a healthy little lady.
