30 months

Chloe is two and a half!  She had her official checkup with Dr. Bowman.  Everything looks great and no shots were needed, what more could you want?!  :)

She is 36inches tall and weighs 28pounds.  She is steadily increasing on the charts for her weight, woohoo!  I'm guessing she's about 30th percentile for weight now, which after being below the charts for a couple of visits, makes Dr. Bowman and Mommy very happy.  Her head circumference is 19inches and her BMI is 15.19.  Medically speaking, she's good and is all set until she turns three!

Chloe continues in speech therapy with Ms. Shannon [yes, both her preschool teacher and therapist are named Shannon].  Chlo-Chlo drops syllables and doesn't finish words.  But she's making good progress!  She tries hard, and Ms. Shannon is very pleased with her.  She has just started putting two basic words together : "help me," "Abby no," "shoe me," that sort of thing.  Shannon really wants us focusing more on getting the syllables correct though, before we add more words and everything becomes a jumble!  We've got to get the basics down before her speech takes off and it's harder to correct. 

Chloe thinks every color is either yellow or purple.  She loves to eat "noo-noos" [noodles, mac &cheese].  She thinks Abby hung the moon.  The only day the girls are ever really apart is on Wednesdays when Abby is at preschool and Chloe is not.  Chloe must say "Abby??" every fifteen minutes.  I hope Chlo's not devastated when Abs heads off to kindergarten in August.  Chloe thinks she can do everything and very rarely wants any help.  I'm sure this will be a great character trait in the long run, but when we're in a hurry, it'd sure be nice if she would just let me get her dressed!  She is a whiz on the new tablet.  She likes to kick a soccer ball and is super cute when she says "ready?" right before she kicks a ball or slides down the slide.  She likes to pull up a plastic lawn chair and watch Ryan and Abby play in the backyard.  She can "pedal" her bike, as long as Mommy is pushing too. 

We love you sweet Chlo-Chlo!!  Happy two and a half!!
