The above pictures are Brody at a few days old and one year - awwww :)
We had Brody's two year well child visit and the doctor said he is a healthy little guy. He showed his age/attitude well for Dr. Kuhn by answering the question "Hi Brody, how are you today?" with a stern "NO!". I think he recalled his last visit there and remembered his antibiotic injection because immediately when we walked into the room he started crying :( He calmed down by the time the doctor came in and I was hoping that he didn't need any vaccinations today so that he could learn that a visit to the doctor doesn't always mean pain, but unfortunately he was due for two - Hep A and Pnemococcal. Earlier in the day he took a nasty spill when the chair he was standing and throwing a tantrum on tipped over. He received a terrible looking swollen lip and his top two teeth had some blood at the gum line. The pediatrician referred us to a pediatric dentist who we saw today.
The pediatric dentist appointment went surprisingly well. They had me hold Brody on my lap as though I were giving him a hug and then they laid him back with his head on the doctors knees while he poked around in there. Brody was the perfect patient - he screamed the entire time allowing the doctor a fabulous view of all his teeth. I did feel bad for the other kids in there wondering WHAT the heck was going on in room two! The good news is that his teeth do not appear to be damaged at all from the fall, he has great oral hygiene and his spare tooth gives him magical powers. Unless we noticed a bump in his gums suggesting infection or any discoloration of the teeth, we are cleared for another year :) Brody left the office happy with a lei, a giraffe balloon animal and his very own CARS toothbrush. Jacob cried as we pulled away because HE wanted to go to the dentist too - ahhh, the innocence of a child ;) (His appointment is on May 5th).
On to Brody's stats...
Height - 33 3/4" - 50th
Weight - 28 1/2# - 50th
Head - didn't get the measurement, but his percentile was over 100th/off the charts.
In comparison to his 18 month stats, his percentiles were:
Height - 75th %
Weight - 25th %
and Head was 97th %
And as for Mr. Jacob at two he was...
Height - almost 33" - 10th
Weight - 25lbs (with clothes on!) - 10th
