Do two year olds still have growth spurts?

DD is only napping for an hour, waking up in the morning two hours earlier than usual and has a mighty BIGGER than usual appetite. I remember her doing this when she was an infant and having a growth spurt. I think she may be having one now.

Absolutely! DD wakes earlier and eats loads during a growth spurt. Tends to be more whiny and easily irritable too.

Wow. I hope this doens't last too long. As soon as I put her down for a nap she's up already and she's got so much energy during the day you'd think I'd been giving her caffeinated beverages

Haha my DD bounces off the walls when having a growth spurt too! But it can more readily end in tears during them as well...

It tends to last for about a week here

Yes, absolutely. My 11 and 9 year olds have them a couple of times a year still. Teens get them, too.

This. I remember when my brother was 13 and having one...and again when he was 18.

I think they keep happening until you stop growing...you just learn to manage the symptoms better.
