2 Year Appointment

Jack finally had his 2 year check up yesterday. Here are his stats:

37.5 inches tall
35 pounds


He is obviously big for his age- but his height and weight are in proportion to each other, so nothing to fear. He's basically just super tall and solid as a rock. That's my boy!

The doctor was glad to see that he's speaking in 4-5 word phrases, knows almost all of his colors, knows how old he is, can jump off the ground, can run, can go up and down stairs (even our scary steep ones!!) all by himself, and can draw a circle if you draw one first and ask him to do the same. She still suggests no peanut butter for another year (are you kidding me??) and to start making him take "no thank you bites" when he refuses a food. Tonight we tried it with green beans- and what do you know! That no thank you bite turned into about 5 beans being eaten cause he realized he really does like them!

Besides the usual check up stuff- he had to have another lead test. This one was a finger prick instead of the horrible blood draw we had to deal with a year ago. The first finger the nurse pricked barely bled at all- so they had to do a second finger. Jack sure was excited about that! After many tears and saying "ow!" over and over, she got enough blood and he got 2 bandaids to show for it.

We'll see the doctor for sure in another few months when baby sister shows up!
