Laila's 2 year well check up stats

Weight 22 lbs (5%)
Height 31 1/2 inches (5%)
Head circ 18 3/4

Took the little princess to her well check up today.  She continues to be our little petite thing.  She is starting to talk more, but still not as much as we are used to.  At her 18 month appt, she did not appreciate me telling the doctor she was behind in speech and started talking more then.  She goes into rambling incoherent speeches sometimes, where she seems to know exactly what she is saying but we are at a complete loss. The doctor said her vocabulary is where it should be, but we could have her evaluated. Physically, Laila is coordinated and loves to jump. She can throw, kick and jump right along with her siblings. 

Update 9/20/13
I took Laila for a speech evaluation today.  I should have cancelled the appointment because it was made over a month ago when she was not talking very much.  In the last month she has moved on to 5 word sentences. Laila was difficult at first, but once the therapist brought as candy as a motivation tool, Laila was happy to oblige. Basically, Laila is now above average for speech and the appointment was not necessary, except for my peace of mind.
