With the Beloved Ladybug Ball

25 Months, 8 Days

Aletheia had her two years check-up this morning, and the last round of immunizations until she turns four. She's 75% across the board on the growth charts, still tall for her age. The exact numbers are 34 1/2 inches tall, 29 pounds.

The doctor was impressed with her letter recognition ability--Aletheia has now mastered the (upper case) alphabet, able to correctly name any of the 26 letters she is shown. Apparently that's ahead of the curve for 25 months olds. She's also counting up to 14 now, and starting to learn some colors. She's most consistent with orange and black--the former because she associates it with the fruit, I think--but she's getting red, blue and green right more often now. She seems to have a mental block with yellow, though.

So, healthy, happy, tall and learning more all the time. Things are good at two years old.
