Holland is 23 months old

Holland is doing great. She knows all the colors, numbers 1-10, and ABC! Holland is around 3 feet tall now. I just hope the old wives tale doesn't come true about a child doubling the height they are at 2 years old. Being tall isn't bad, but being 6 foot and a female isn't easy. Holland had her first trip to the ER a couple of weekends ago. She was running over 104 degree fever all day. We called the pediatrician on call and she said to just keep doing what we were, even though we could never get her fever down below 104. Around 10pm we got over 105 degrees so we went to the ER in Henrietta. We walked in and were immediately taken care of. The doctor was in to see Holland in a few minutes to tell us that she had her first ear infection. We had gone 23 months before her first ear infection. It was sad to hear the news, but we have been so lucky to have gone this long without one. We had no idea she had an ear infection. She showed no other symptoms other than the fever. She was playing and talking like nothing was wrong. The nurse gave her antibiotics and we were leaving the ER in less than an hour of being there. Here is a picture in the ER. She was not a fan of having her temp taken by the nurse.

We have been hard at work on Holland's birthday party. We are using a ladybug theme for 2nd birthday. It's so cute! We are also getting her new bedroom ready. She will have a full size bed to sleep in on her 2nd birthday.
