Evelyn is Two today!!!

Two years ago, I gave birth to the most beautiful thing I had ever laid eyes on, Evelyn. Other people may have ugly newborns, but not me.

How can she be two years old? Today, she can have all the strawberries she can eat. Especially since she has not had them for days because she had the flu this week.

Evelyn makes me look great, with only rare exceptions. I say that not because I am obsessed with myself, but rather to demonstrate how fortunate we are to have her. It is not because I am some kind of super-parent. I feel like I am just making it up as I go. Today, we went to the doctor for her two year checkup. Here is where she stands:

Ht 34inches. (70th percentile)
Wt. 27.5 (65th percentile--she is normally closer to 30lbs, but, again, the flu)
Head size I guess I missed this measurement, but I know it was in the 75th percentile (not counting hair volume).

Our pediatrician adores Evelyn because her mom has the same name. When Evelyn was born, she was not taking new patients, but she took us anyway because of Evelyn's name. She said she thought it was a sign from God because her mother had just passed away the previous week. We love Dr. Anne.

Evelyn, you are the best of everything, all rolled into a cute little package. I love you!
