Jack's 2 Year Check-Up

Today Jack had his two year check-up with his pediatrician and he passed with flying colors! Not only did he behave amazingly well during the exam (he even took deep breaths while the Dr. listened to his heartbeat) he also amazed the Dr. with his verbal skills. He was talking up a storm during the entire appointment and mommy and daddy could barely get a word in edge-wise. He told the Dr. about his weekend, his visit with his cousins, the bon fire we had at Pappy's, a bug that flew into his eye....you name it, it was a topic of conversation. He even mentioned the band-aid I had on my finger from a cut I inflicted upon myself while slicing an apple. He was not short on conversation, and kept the Dr. amused. She said he is right where he should be in height and weight (he is still in a high percentile for height) and she said his verbal skills are wonderful. His daddy and I were so pleased with him today. He was such a big boy as he allowed himself to be weighed, measured, and examined by the doc. He followed her commands and behaved so well. He was even awarded with a sticker at the end of his visit. We go back in November for a flu shot but then he doesn't have to see the Dr. again until he is three. And no more shots till he turns four!!! Yay!!! On the baby front there isn't much to report....a lot of movement tonight but no contractions. Did anyone read the latest celebrity baby name courtesy of Nicole Richie and her boyfriend? They had a little boy and they named him Sparrow James Midnight. Huh??? I keep picturing 20 yrs. from now, a 6 ft. tall 200 lb. grown man named Sparrow. Poor kid. Well, I hope you're all having a great week...the weekend is almost here.
