2.5 Year Well Visit

I took Shane to the pediatrican today for his 2.5 year well visit. Our baby is getting SO big!!

Height - 3ft (!!!!) and 3/4" - 75th percentile
Weight - 31 lbs - also 75th percentile
Head circumference - 52 - 95th percentile (he's ALWAYS had a large head!!)

He did well, especially when he got his flu shot. He shed a few tears during the exam, and after he got his shot, and he was especially "clingy" (he's at the age where he knows full well where he is) but despite all that, he did really well!

The doctor is impressed with his development, though they are still concerned about his speech. They'd like for us to consider seeing a speech therapist because he barely said anything the entire time we were with the doctor, yet the second the doctor left the room our little chatterbox was back in full swing!

We're not sure what we're going to do in regards to speech therapy. We've actually been rather impressed and pleased with his language development these last 6 months. He's saying all kinds of things now and this morning even told me "Bless You, Ma" after I sneezed! I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get him evaluated, again, and I'm sure that's the route we'll end up taking.

Our little guy is growing up WAY too fast. The next time we go to the doctor he'll be THREE!!!
