A week or so before Simon's 2nd birthday I realized I'd not scheduled his well visit. When I called they were booked until the end of July. As a result, we just had his 2 year old well visit on July 30th.
He was 35 inches tall (55%) and 25 pounds 7 ounces (15%) which simply supports our observations that he is a tall, skinny kid. He was great meeting the doctor, she was impressed by how much he talked and in general what a great little man he was. He did appear to have had an ear infection in his left ear in the past month or two, which tells us that he just doesn't show a lot of signs when he is in pain or not comfortable. We'll have to keep special eye on him going forward and she asked that we come back in 6 weeks just so she could take another peek at the ear and make sure it's completely healed.
We also talked about allergies. Simon has shown no allergies so far, but we have not exposed him to any form of nuts or shellfish. There is a blood test we can do to gauge his likelihood of allergy and we are going to do that before we expose him. So a blood draw is in his near future.
Speaking of, he had one shot at the visit (final Hep A vaccine). We told him he would get a shot and that it would pinch and hurt for a second. Like a rock star he laid down and Alan held his arms and I touched his head and the nurse did it quickly. He said ouch and pinch and was certainly happy when it was over and he got to sit up, but no tears and no screaming. We talked about band aids (which he calls headbands for some reason) and about shots a couple times that day and the next.
So, the meat of it is that we have a healthy happy little boy! Oh, and he had grown almost 2 inches since his birthday. Crazy growing time!
