What Do Y'all Think?

Just too cute not to share. Her favorite fruit is oranges.

So I could not get this girl to smile for a picture comparison, but what do you all think? The last picture is of me-I was either almost 2 or almost 3. Poor girl isn't going to be a towhead like her mom. Darn Lance and his dark genes. I do understand that it could be due to the fact that my hair is so much darker now-I feel like a brunette. My hairdresser called me a "dirty blond" and it felt like she was calling me a hussy.

We went in earlier this week for Madeline's 2 year check up. She weighed in at 30 lbs (90th %) and is 35 inches tall (75th%). She had a major weight gain because she was in only the 50th% for weight at her 18 month. I had still been giving her whole milk so we dropped to 2% (reminds me of a quote from Napoleon Dynamite-giggle). I must also say that it was nice to not have to strip her and she can stand on the scale now instead of the baby scale. M got a doctor set for her birthday and she likes to listen to our hearts and take our blood pressure. She says, "listen heart Mommy," "Take blood pessure." Though she calls the blood pressure display a "clock." We had been practicing so she could talk to "Doccer Tellos" (Dr. Petelos), but the second he walked in, she clammed up. She did let him look at everything as we discussed he would, but I'm very doubtful now that she will let the dentist in her mouth later this month. I'm still talking it up. I'll tell you what, she has had more meltdowns in a week than she has had in 3 months. How to make her understand the importance of obedience without breaking her spirit? If someone has the answer, please share.
