2 1/2 and growing like a weed

Well, March 28th was a happy, happy half-birthday to Lynley.  We celebrated by making cupcakes.  Lynley was very much a part of the process and enjoyed making them and decorating them as much if not more than eating them.   She is actually a great little baker...a filled the cupcake tins quite nicely!


 2 1/2 also brought a well check-up to the Dr.  Lynley is doing great developmentally as those of us who spend time with her already knew.  The Dr. did ask her to draw vertical line.  Lynley refused to doing anything of the sort which made the Dr. document that she was "strong-willed".  If only the Dr knew, that was small potatoes.  Nonetheless, at home the next day, Lynley had her drawing board out.  I drew a vertical line and asked her to draw it.  She did perfectly and said,"That is what the Dr. wanted me to do".  What a little stinker!!! ;-) 

Physically, Lynley is doing great too.  She is 38 1/4 inches tall (90-95%) and 32.5 lbs.(75-90%). As we all know, she is tall and thin.  I hope this stays with her all her life!!!  The Dr. commented on the fact that we hadn't been to the Dr. in 6 months also.  Quite a feat for a little one...especially since she is around kids at church and MMO and several other places.  She has a strong immune system...Praise God for that! 

What a blessing it is to celebrate 2 1/2 years with such a precious blessing who has forever changed all of our lives!! Many a mother say that you never realize how much you can love someone until you have a child....so true!
