2 Year Well-"Baby" Checkup

(Update: My friend Elizabeth said if her peditrician said if you double your child's height at age two then that is how old they will be as an adult...so Cannon might not be as tall as Uncle Ryan).

Today we visited Cannon's pediatrician the wonderful Dr. Tina Tripp (an old friend from Savannah).

Cannon was precious! I can remember when he went for his one year checkup and wanted NOTHING to do with her. He cried if she touched him! Today was different. He gave her a hug and a kiss and flirted with her like crazy! He ran around and giggled (A LOT), said his ABC's, a couple of colors and more. It was a great visit.

He got a vaccination today and a finger prick. He was not happy about it. As the nurse was apologizing he kept saying "bye bye" trying to get her to leave the room. It was funny.

Okay, so his stats...

Head: 49.4 cm - 75th percentile
Weight 33lbs - 97th percentile
Height 36.5 in. OFF THE CHART!! This is very pleasing to Daddy as he does not want his little boy to be short like me! He has big sports aspirations for him and is hoping that he will be 6' 5" like Uncle Ryan!

I was really surprised that his weight is up to the high 90's again, it has been going down our last few visits but Dr. Tripp said it was due to his height and thinks he will be a tall boy!

He doesn't have to visit the doctor again for an entire year! Unless he is sick. :( Knock on wood. A little update on his "asthma/reactive airway disease"...he had his first cold over the last two weeks and he was MEGA snotty and did not have ANY wheezing/ major coughing whatsoever! So I am thinking the twice daily Flovent is helping!! Yay!

Parker was 36 inches and 30 pounds today. 90th percentile for both height and weight! Our boys are just about the same size! Be interesting to see Rylee's stats at her appointment tomorrow!!
