Josiah's Two Year Check Up


Alright. The above two pictures were supposed to be at the very END of this post. I accidentally uploaded them in the wrong order! Oh well.
Yesterday Mackenzie, Josiah, and I went to Blackmon Pediatrics for Josiah's well child check up. We actually all had fun! Their office is quite nice. Each room is basically a huge mural, as all four walls are covering in paintings to match the theme of that particular room. Even the exam table matches the theme! We were in the Jungle Room, complete with monkeys and parrots on the walls and a safari jeep exam table! Some of the other themes include a school yard/bus, underwater, super heroes, and fishing, etc. Josiah did not cry when they pricked his finger for his routine labs. He actually peed in the cup (so they did not have to bag him) for his urine check. He cooperated beautifully and is doing well. Here are his stats:


Age: 2 yrs

Height: 34.5 inches (60%)

Weight: 25 lb 11 oz (50%)

Head Circumference: 48.7 cm (55%)


He is speaking in complete sentences of 5 to 8 words regularly now. His vocabulary is way beyond me being able to count his words! He thinks he is 3, like his sister. He knows all his shapes and a few of his colors. We have some work to do with the colors still! He correctly identifies the letters "O," "W," "T," and several others the majority of the time. He can sing the Alphabet Song with only a couple prompts. He can count to 12. The only two cute words that I can think of that he mispronounces are "aminals" (animals) and "holse me" (hold me). Most of his words are so clear that I have to record those as later in life it is fun to know what funny words you used as a child! He can chew gum now as he spits it in the trash can when he is finished with it. He can ride Mackenzie's bike with training wheels, and prefers it over his tricycle! He is a sweet, busy kid! He loves to climb. He is a joy to have as a part of our family. We love you, Baby Boy!
