At Cecilia's two year checkup she:
weighed 27 lbs (75th percentile)
measured 36 inches (95 percentile)
The old tale is that doubling a child's height at two tells how tall she will be when she is finished growing. Turns out it isn't quite that simple. With the help of the Baby Center website, I was able to calculate her expected height. It is based on Mommy and Daddy's height and her current height and weight.
On her 18th birthday she is expected to be...*drum roll*...5 feet 9 inches.
This makes perfect sense since Mommy is a little over 5'9". I am sure we will be sharing clothes by the time high school rolls around!
Cecilia has become very long and lean. Nana and Papaw Wilson say that she reminds them of me. One of my uncles always referred to me as "stick" when I was growing up. I am not sure anybody will be calling me by that name anytime soon. She is still a very good eater though. Some days it is alarming that she eats as much as she does. Frannie and Cecilia even share some clothes and almost wear the same size diaper. Of course, the clothes fit much differently on Cecilia than they do Frannie.
At Frannie's nine month checkup she:
weighed 23 lbs 9 oz (98th percentile)
measured 30 1/4 inches (99th percentile)
We knew she was a big girl but WOW! Cecilia didn't way this much at her 12 month mark. As you can imagine, she is a big eater. The only time she gets upset is when she is hungry. She enjoys most everything we give her. At this point she is not very good with thicker solids and whole foods. She is getting better but we still have to watch her closely to make sure she doesn't choke. She is learning to use a sippy cup too.
Frannie started crawling around eight months. She tried and tried for awhile then one day she figured it out and hasn't stopped moving. She doesn't seem to be afraid of much. Cecilia was always (and still is) more cautious of things - she looks before she leaps. Frannie is the opposite. She lunges, dives, climbs, crawls, rolls and jumps without fear! She tries very hard to keep up with big sis.
Frannie is still our happy baby. She gives us big smiles and laughs. Watching her adoring eyes when Cecilia walks in the room or plays with her is priceless. It is easy to see that they are going to be the best of friends.
