Luna turned 2 on May 13th! And what better day to celebrate her birthday than Mother's Day! My mom is still in Oklahoma City with my grandfather whose been sick, but we were so glad my dad was in town with my step-mom. They took us out for a nice Mother's Day Brunch at La Duni and my sister was able to meet us as well. Brunch was super yummy and when they brought dessert, they put a candle in the chocolate cake for Luna to blow out! I have to say she's had a really good birthday this year, with her Elmo party, lots of family in town and of course lots of toys. Spoiled? Nawh...
She had her 2 year check-up appointment on 5/17 and here are her stats:
Weight: 24 pounds (with clothes and shoes on), 23 without (still around 15-20th percentile)
Height: 33.5 inches (around 50th percentile)
Dr. Deuber said she is doing great and developing well. We will continue to give her 2% milk which we switched to 3 months ago. My mom said back in the day, she was told never to give whole milk to kids, but now they recommend it the first year, and then switching to 2% after they turn 2- due to the obesity epidemic in kids.
She also hit the nail on the head with Luna's diet- some weeks she may just love something like strawberries, and then the next week turn her nose up at them! That is definitely Luna.
As for potty training, we are still waiting on that and Dr. Deuber agreed. She said if Luna can come up to me and say she needs to go potty and pull down her pants and go, then she is ready. Luna is definitely not there yet. She can tell me she has gone or needs to go poop, and sometimes before bath time will sit on the potty and go on her own, but we for sure have a ways to go! Don't worry, I'm in no rush. I don't want to push it and have a power struggle on my hands or have it turn into a medical issue :(
Other than that, Luna is right on track and saying new words every day. She is also loving saying her favorite toddler word, 'no' right now :)
