Stats

Sam had his 2-year well-check this morning. Here are his stats:

Weight: 28 lbs (50%)
Height: 35" (75%)
Head circumference: 18.5"
BMI: 16-0
Shoe size: 8.5

That's right. He's huge.

Dr. C gave him rave reviews, noting that his teeth were very well spaced and that from the looks of it he'll be one of the lucky ones who should have enough room in his mouth for his big boy teeth. Bad for the orthodontist, good for Mommy and Daddy! [I had no idea they checked the space between teeth...good thing we brushed before we went!] His vocabulary is still below where it should be but even to Dr. C it was notably improved. His range might be small but he's very confident in what he does say, Dr. C had no trouble getting him to answer simple questions.

If any of you don't have kids, let me just say that once you do, having the Dr. check them every now and then is SO reassuring...especially with the increasing rates of Autism, Aspergers, etc. It's always a blessing to hear you have a laid-back, healthy, happy, social little guy - all things parents of disabled children may never, ever have.
