Our big kid!

Liam had his 2 year doctor's visit yesterday. I always prep him before we do something he's not used to, so we talked all about what they were going to do and what they would ask him to do. He was skittish around the scale when Aaron took him for a checkup last time, so we talked about the scale and how they would measure how tall he is. He got on the scale without much fuss and then stood by the wall for his height measurement happily! He now weighs 35 lbs. and is 38 1/4 inches tall! His doctor said that he's in the 95th percentile for both height and weight and that he's very well proportioned. That was good to hear! He is now predicted to be 6'4" tall as an adult (which is much shorter than the 7' I calculated not long ago!).

Liam was very talkative for Dr. Boyd. He said "Is that Dr. Boyd?" when the doctor came in and the doctor said "Yep! I'm Dr. Boyd!" It was pretty cute. The doctor gave him a tongue depressor to play with (his "stick") and he let him do his examining. He knew he would have to have a shot in his leg and kept reminding me that "it's a little bit owie, Mommy." I told him that it might hurt for a minute, but that it would be ok in a little while and then we would go to the pet store. He did cry for about 30 seconds, but then calmed right down. He walked out into the lobby with me and politely asked for a sticker. What a good kid.

He spent the time before dinner outside with Aaron...digging in the dirt with his new "stick."
