My 2-year-old stats
Now that I’m 2, I don’t mind being put on a scale or getting my head measured or taking off all my clothes. This time, daddy brought my pink robe for the visit so I wouldn’t be so cold. Want to know how big I am? Drum roll please:
Height = 35 3/4-inches, 90-95th percentile
Weight = 26 pounds, 6 ounces, 50th percentile
Head circumference = 50 cm, 95th percentile
Yup, I’ve grown a whole lot. Remember when I was just 1 year old? What a baby I was!

My birthday was on a Friday this year. My parents got lazy and didn’t have a big party for me, just family and close friends. Still, I got some cool gifts and got to eat turkey legs so I’m happy. (And from the slim number of pictures, you can see they were even too busy to take pictures and video!! Sheesh!)

Mommy scared of dead fish. Wouldn’t you be too?

Now this is swimming!
I just spent a few days at Ah-ma and Kong Kong’s time share at Lawrence Welk, far away in the desert badlands of Escondido. Boy, was it hot la! It was so hot I couldn’t walk on the pavement at the pool! Since this was the first time in my life I’ve ever experienced that, I just stood there and cried until Daddy figured it out. Good thing there were five swimming pools and lots of adults to carry me around. I’m not counting the adults-only pool the old-timers viciously defended with their walking canes right by our time-share. I threw my poopie diaper over their fence in protest.
Do you think swimming 2 to 3 times a day requires extra naps or early bedtimes?. Absolutely NOT!!
Here’s a longer video of me, some of it captured underwater by my silly daddy.
Start Slide Show with PicLens LiteMy first train ride
We stopped by the mall today to eat dinner and what do you know? Daddy spied a choo-choo train running loose in the mall with no train tracks at all! Of course, we hopped on for a ride. Daddy took video while Ah-ma and Kong Kong rode with me.
Ya, pictures are blurry. That’s because of the low lighting in the mall and the fast moving train. (Click on video on right to enlarge)
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
(After such a long day of swimming and playing, I didn’t fall asleep till after 11:30 p.m.)

Ah-ma and Kong Kong wanted to pretty up Uncle Jon and Auntie Karen’s front yard with flowers. I felt like they needed my help so I changed into my overalls and headed to their house to offer my expertise.
Lots of stinky dirt. What fun!
Afterward, we went out to eat because I love to eat even more than I love to garden (but maybe no more than I like to get dirty). Anyway, we went to a new hot pot restaurant that had a huge pot split in half — one side with spicy broth, the other was not so spicy. We ordered a ton of meats and vegetables and just ate and ate and ate.
And then we walked around the corner to get yogurt. I fell off a chair. Ouch.

My oldest friend is Mia, who lives in Texas. I didn’t really remember her at first but we got along swell. I think I’ll remember her from now on. She has a new brother named Nicolas, who she blogs about on her own blog.
Here’s a little video of us in the park:

I haven’t been blogging much since I learned how to walk. I’m keeping everyone a little busier these days. Just to keep them on their toes, I’ve already moved on from walking, now I’m dancing!
