Turns out...Addy's normal.
I went in for her check-up today and the doctor always gives print outs of what to expect and what to work on with certain age groups. The title for the Two Year Old is Miss Independent. I thought he put that on there just for me. There are actually other 2-year-olds as crazy as Addy.
This is my favorite part of the information I was given:
The 2-year-old is difficult, if not impossible, to reason with, but still extremely lovable. He or she will assert independence at mealtime, bedtime, and during attempts at toilet training. Two-year-olds typically do not know what they want, except they are sure they do not want to do what you want them to do. The 2-year-old will struggle with his or her parents before going into the bathtub, then once in the tub, will struggle with the parents when its time to get out of the tub.
I'm going to start checking my windows at night, because it seems that Dr. Johnson must be watching us through them. That hits the nail on the head.
As for her stats...it's official: she's a giant...97%...shocker.
She's gone up in weight from 50th to 70th. All that Halloween candy must have done her good.
One other thing, for those that know Addy know she has crazy legs. I expressed concern at Addy's 15 month check-up and Dr. Johnson has done a good job at following up. He had her walk and run for a while today to watch her. When Addy runs, she kind of shuffles...her knees almost touch and her bum sticks out the back...kind of like how an 80-year-old would run. Anyway, she got done running and he asked me, "So, does she ever run?" I laughed out loud. Uh, yeah, that was it. So, he's sending me to have her hips x-rayed to make sure that everything is okay.
