Here are some stats on our two year old! She is 29.4 pounds, which is 80th percentile! Previously she had been a string bean and been 40th percentile in weight. She is 36 inches tall, which is 95th percentile, she's always been 95th percentile in height!
She has always been very good at her motor development skills. She is a FAST runner, and seems to be able to do most things she tries. She climbs, jumps, does somersaults (her newest trick), dances, and is generally a mover! She loves the playground down the street and insists on going everyday. Now that it is 19 degrees in the morning with a high of 32 these days, David and I aren't as apt to going as she wishes.
Caroline is really developing her verbal skills as well! She said her name for the first time last week. She said "Auburn" for the first time during the SEC championship :-) She is speaking in sentences and is generally easy to understand! David and I know just about everything she says, other people understand a lot, but not all of what she says.
She LOVES to sing. Right now, as I type, she is singing herself to sleep with "Twinkle, Twinkle". She loves to also sing "Old McDonald had a Farm" and "Wheels on the Bus". I love hearing her sing because she will just start going "quack quack here and quack quack here" and then sing loudly "EIEIO".
She has 12 teeth, two snuck in right before her birthday. She has a lot more hair than she did. She is anxious to start potty training. Loves to be treated like a big girl - wants a big girl cup, wants to use the same forks that we use (not her kiddy forks), she wants to use my brush for her hair and (one of the cutest) wear my high heel shoes. She loves to raid my closet and put on anything she sees. She is very organized with her babies and carefully takes care of them. She ALWAYS wants to read books and will bring a stack of books to any willing reader.
She has really taken to the idea of being the owner/boss of our dog, Pete. She makes sure he knows she is in charge of him. She doesn't let him stray on walks, won't let him touch her toys and makes sure he "HUSH"s when he starts to bark! But she is also sweet and pets him, encourages him to eat and drink (even when he doesn't want to) and plays with him.
She is a busy and FUN two year old!

Very nice. 36" tall! Wow! I will have to pull out David and Payton's statistics at that age!
She sounds like she's so much fun! What a cutie! :)
