2 year stats

We've got a healthy, happy little man. He's slipping down on the charts, at 26.5 pounds he's only in the 25th percentile for weight, and at 33 inches, he's only in the 30th percentile for height. But the doc isn't concerned. He looks healthy and well proportioned for his size. Apparently they no longer measure head size anymore, so we'll just have to assume it's still bigger than the rest of his body, proportionally. :oP My guess is that it's still somewhere in the 90th percentile!

I recall being at his 18-month appointment and hearing that he was supposed to have 50 words by the time he was 2. This gave me pause at the time, as he only had 15-20 that he used consistently. But, everyone was right, there really is a language explosion around 22 months. I told the pedi when she asked about the 50 words that I had stopped counting at around 100. He's so verbal now; it's amazing what a difference a few months makes.

We also talked a bit about all the upcoming changes (new house, new baby, etc.) and how that was likely to impact potty training. So, for the time being, we're not pushing it, at all. He hasn't shown any signs of real readiness yet (doesn't tell us when he's wet, and only tells us about a dirty diaper after the fact) so it's just off the table for now.

We talked about allergies (still avoiding dairy until age 3, and all nuts as well since he has an allergic profile), sleep (no complaints here), and other milestones (like jumping and getting both feet off the ground, which he definitely tries to do while saying "hop!" but he hasn't quite gotten both feet all the way off the ground at the same time). Got him his flu shot and one in the Hep B series. He cried, but it was short-lived, thankfully!
