Maggie is 2!

Maggie had her 2 year check up last week and it went great.

Her 2 year stats:

Weight: 31 pounds 95th percentile

Height: 35.5 inches 80th percentile

Head Circumference: 49 cm 75th percentile

At 2 years old, Maggie continues to be our spirited, feisty, opinionated wild child.  "Spitfire" is a nickname that seems appropriate but instead we mostly call her "Miss Maggie".  She loves to play with her sister, friends, and her Mommy and Daddy.  She is affectionate and loving with us but a bit slower to warm up to other people.  She talks in 3-4 word sentences, can count "1, 2, 7, 8, 9", and understands when there are two of something and will label those appropriately.  The doctor asked if she had at least a 50 word vocabulary and we were shocked when we realized we couldn't even begin to estimate how large her vocabulary is because she talks all the time!   And yet, she just this week has started calling Campbell by name.  She calls her "Tambell" or "Hambell" and it's adorable.  She can walk up and down steps, jump, step up and down from curbs, and climb anything her heart desires.  She loves to swing, play with her baby dolls, play with her train set, and chase our dogs.  Maggie is very flexible and can practically do a split.  She loves to sing and dance.  She loves Dora and Doc McStuffins.  She has this crazy head of curly hair that we love.  I am learning to style and use hair products I never knew existed to try to tame it.  She loves to eat fruit and vegetables more than anything else.  She loves the book "Going on a Bear Hunt".

Here are some random and cute pictures of her this past year:

Here is a cute video of her at the pool on the slide:

Dear Miss Maggie,

We love you so much.  One day I hope you read this and feel our love for you coming through.  You bring us so much joy and we are so blessed to have been chosen to be your parents.  Your spirited personality leaves us no doubt that you will grow up to be a strong young woman and this is something we are so excited to watch.  Your curly hair is representative of your spirit: a little bit wild, occasionally untamed, but always beautiful.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
