The two-year check-up

The fun of turning two continued with a visit to the doctor today. This was a very different experience from Gus's 18-month visit when he cried every time a health care professional looked at him. He welcomed the doctor into the exam room with a big, "Hello Dr. Crino," and did not put up any resistance to having his head measured or his blood drawn. He watched the whole procedure without a peep and thanked the nurse for the snoopy band aid. He was a little disappointed that he did not get to stand on the big boy scale. They had him sit on the baby scale. He weighs 27 pounds 7 ounces and is 35 inches tall, which means his adult height estimation is 5' 10". Not too shabby considering Jonathan and I are not tall.

The most exciting part of the visit for me was learning that Gus has graduated from Infant Tylenol to Children's Tylenol. We no longer need to keep a half dozen infant Tylenol's labeled with GTS and TBS all over the house. Gus did not understand my excitement about this. The best part of the day for him was watching the fish and playing with the dirty old toys in the waiting room.
