- Elsa’s in 75-80th percentile in weight at 29.8 pounds.
- She’s in the 95-100th percentile in height at 36.5 inches.
- Forget the noggin measurement, but it’s still 95th percentile.
The pediatrician warning me that people might expect her behavior and/or development to be more advanced because, at just 2 years old, she is about the height of a child a full year older. I think there is something to this… will have to watch for that and speak for her to make sure she isn’t facing unrealistic expectations.
Also, as if to confirm that she is in fact two (you know, in case I missed it), her every other word is NO. Which is often immediately followed by an impassioned demand for the very thing she just refused. She just can’t help herself from saying no first. It’s kind of hilarious. Except when it’s annoying. I can only hear NO, MAMA! about 10,000 in a day before it gets a bit old.
And she doesn’t want help with anything. I DO IT is one of her favorite sentences. And NO WANT IT is perhaps the other. For the record, she does also know the rarely-invoked “I need help” and “sorry, mama” phrases – how I love them so.

I can remember that this happened to Bro also when he was little. He was very tall and people expected him to be "older" in his behavior. I loved the way you described her no isms... so cute
I know Amy's gone through that with Kyle too!
