James’ Two Year Checkup

After we dropped Joanna off at school yesterday, Natalie and I took James for his two-year well check-up.  He was just fine going in but fell apart after the nurse measured his head-circumference.  It was all downhill from there.  :)

His stats:
Height: 32.63”
Weight: 25 lbs 2 oz
Head Circumference: 19.02”

In other words, practically perfect in every way!  He’s pretty low down on the growth charts, but he’s very proportional. 

I couldn’t really peel him off of me to get a picture, and without a wider angle lens, this was about the best I could do.  :)  I didn’t try very hard though.

And here are his cutie-patootie feet:

He continued to cry and/or scream until we were well out of the parking lot, but I’m still very proud of him for surviving the ordeal.  :)  Hopefully the next visit will be better all around.  And apparently that visit is in 6 months, at 2 1/2 years old.  I swear I never took the girls for a 30 month check up.  I was like, “Is that new?”  Dr. Harper said not so much.  Oh, well!  I’m not totally sure I’ll remember it though.  We’ll see!  I think there are shots then, but there weren’t any yesterday, thank goodness.  I think that might have put James over the edge.

The good part of the morning was that we were on the way to the doctor’s office at the time all the middle school buses were out so James got to see millions of buses.  He loves school buses!!  He kept saying “school bus lot.”  And then we stopped at Kroger where there was a fire truck!  (They were just shopping; no emergency.)  It was a great day for transportation!

  1. Buses and fire trucks always make Tim happy, too. Though he just yells "a DEE,,"
