Connor had his 2 year checkup last week. He has officially upgraded to the 'big boy' scale and now gets measured standing up. Which comes as a huge relief to us as Connor hated stripping down to sit on the scale and getting stretched out on the table to get measured. His new stats are as follows:
Height: 33 inches (25th percentile)
Weight: 27 lbs (50th percentile)
They also started taking his blood pressure (102/57) and calculating his BMI. He's doing great, the doctor was pleased with his development thus far. Considering the amount of words he knows and strings together he is doing very well in the language department. He is growing right along the curve so he is not worried about his growth. The doctor also indicated his height (or lack thereof :p) is no indicator to how tall he will be when he grows up. He says it all depends on when he hits his growth spurt, and apparently the later the better...or taller I should say. We can move off of whole milk now and he can drink whatever we drink (1%).
Every stage becomes our new favorite, and turning 2 is no different! Connor's personality is really starting to blossom and he seems to take less time to 'warm up' to people now. The only downfall would be his occasional tantrum but they never last long as he is easily distracted. We've decided to wait on toilet training until after Addison arrives and we've all had time to acclimate to life as a family of 4. That said...she could be here any day now! Connor picked out a present to give her when she arrives. He seems to be excited about his sister coming. We got out all the baby gear (swing, bouncer, etc) so that he could play with it all and get it out of his system before she needs them. To our surprise, he has had no interest in any of it. Perhaps this will go smoother than I think? I'm sure Connor is going to be a great big brother :)
