2 Year Check-Up
Sam had his 2 year well-check today and he did great! He stood on the big boy scale for the first time, and he did great! He didn’t fuss at all when the nurse (Brandi, or, as Sam called her, Bandee) measured his head and listened to his heart and lungs. He laid down for “Bandee” to “color” on the paper (mark his head and feet to measure his height) and chattered away while we waited for the doctor to come in. When Dr. Mangham came in, Sam was a little less certain, but really only fussed when she had to, ahem, check his boy parts. He let her look in his ears and eyes, and eventually even let her look in his mouth.
The verdict? He’s in great health, developing and hitting milestones just like he should be. He’s a chatterbox lately, putting more and more sentences together and showing us that he really “gets” things that are going on. He can now (as of today) put his own shirt on, and pull his pants up. (To be fair, he might have been able to do this for a while, but Mommy never thought to let him try it.)
Some fun Sam-isms lately
- Mommy go work.
- Sammy go school.
- I leavin’!
- Sammy birthday! (even though it’s been over a week since his birthday)
- Where Bubba?
- Sammy have boo-boo.
- Awww…look at Sammy boo-boo.
- Sammy go swimmin’?
- Where Sammy big truck? (note: the “big truck” is not the same as the “BIG Truck.”)
- Hear birdies!
- Hear Sunder (thunder)
There are SO many more. And to think, at one point I was worried about his speaking. Silly me, he is, after all, my son! And we all know that I am a well-known chatterbox. 😉
Stats at this appointment: 30 pounds (73%), 34 3/4 inches tall (58%). My little linebacker.
Since I didn’t take any pictures at the doctor (duh), I’ll leave you with a few recent photos from baseball, backyard, and birthday.
Playing catcher at Bubba's game (yes, this is a repeat of a FB picture, but really, can you blame me?)
Looking quite intense at another of Bubba's games.
Blowing out the candle on his basketball cake. . .Okay, so this is really a better picture of Caleb, but again, can you blame me? SO handsome!
Having fun with the T-ball set from Lily, LilySara, and Lily's Daddy.
