Izzy's 2 YEAR Appointment

This was a short visit. The longest part was the 2 hour wait in the waiting room and in the doctor room. The visit itself was maybe about 15 minutes long.

She is growing so well and proportionately! She's about 3 feet tall. Her reflexes are good. Everything about her seems fine. We got her a varnish on her teeth but she probably won't see a dentist for another 6 months. She didn't get a shot but she got her finger pricked and didn't blink. Hahahahaha. She's been wearing her bandaid and insists that we "Keep it on, Mama, keep it on".


Here are some updates that aren't from her appointment but just from us hanging out with her:

  • Izzy can climb up stairs completely by herself.
  • Izzy can use a fork and spoon!
  • She can open doors.
  • Walk long distances (this is a milestone! I'm so happy not to have to carry her all the time)
  • Understand concepts of money, ownership, emotion, sickness, human conditions, etc.
  • Izzy can open just about anything she sets her mind to.
  • She can put her shoes on (and on the correct feet).
  • She can put her jacket on.
  • She can zip up her jacket with a little help.
  • She can articulate what she wants (I need water. I want to watch. I'm cold. I'm hungry. I need food. I want to go outside. I want to play. ETC.)
  • Slide down small slides by herself.
  • Pause and play Netflix on the laptop and the PS4.
  • Play my phone games.
  • Swipe away notifications on our phones.
  • Izzy knows both of our names. 
    • "What's mama's name?" "Bess (She can't say Beth yet)" "What's papa's name?" "Eric" "What's Izzy's name?" "IZZY"
  • She can remember a list from before going to the grocery store until we get those items from the grocery store.
    • She can remember up to 3 things (We haven't asked her to remember more than that).
She can almost:
  • Climb the rock climbing walls at the park completely by herself.
  • Turn wheels all the way around.
