2 years old!

Our big boy had a great check up today at the pediatrician for his 2 year visit. The best news is that he doesn't have to get anymore shots until he is 5! (he is old enough for the flu mist now). He took his HepA shot like a champ and has a cool camo band-aid on his thigh.

His speech and cognitive skills are ahead a bit. Dr. Sunit (he said her name and she beamed...very cute) asked him questions that they usually test 2.5 - 3 year olds and he "passed!" She showed him various pictures (cat, dog, horse, bird, and person) which he was able to identify, and then asked which one flies, meows, barks, etc. :) We are so proud of him and are so fortunate to have a healthy son.

Stats:
Height: 36 1/4" - 90th percentile
Weight: 31 lbs, 14 oz - 85th percentile
Head circumference: 49.8 cm (19.6") 80th percentile

He has finally grown into his big ol' Nellis noggin and is tall and lean. Yes, I said lean. He isn't skinny, by any stretch of the imagination, but compared to his prior budda-like stature, he is skinny!

We are taking him to get his 2 year old photos today. :)

Funny story: One the way to the Doctor's office, we asked Nathan if he was going to be a charmer. The exchange went like this:

Daddy: Hey Nathan, do you know what charm is?
Nathan: Yeah. Nathan.

Ha!
