Is his father tall??

Today, Miles and I ventured out to meet his new pediatrician.  Can you believe we are on Miles’ 3rd doctor is just 2 short years?  I’m not reckless, I just move around a lot!  Don’t judge… :)

As usual, the nurse comes in a grabs his stats. She asked, “How old is he?” and she tries to flip through the chart….  I stated that he was two.  “Wow… he’s a big kid!”  Yeah, yeah, yeah! Heard that one before!

So here ya go – the big reveal!  (ha ha)

37 inches tall (96%)

29.0 lbs (62%)

The nurse dismissed herself and the doctor came in shortly after.  He looked through the chart and said - “Whoa – big kid!  Ah, I don’t mean heavy, ah, he’s around 50% – but WOW – is his father tall?  I mean, you’re tall for a woman too…..”  I cut him off (no need for him to carry on like that!) and said “yes – his father is 6’5”.

Final summary – looks healthy!  And since I didn’t have any concerns, Miles got 2 shots, a hemoglobin and lead check, and a sticker!  His final suggestion was that with a kid that big – he NEEDS to be on a multi-vitamin! 

Man, I should have been a doctor!  He’s been on a vitamin for a long time now…. :)

He knows sooo many words:

• Transportation: car, truck, bike, motorcycle, bus, train, jeep, airplane, tractor
• All colors except for red – its always yellow, then green, and then he YELLS that its green.  Sorry, buddy, yelling doesn’t change the fact that you’re wrong!  It’s still red!!
• All body parts!
• Actions: jump, dance, sleep, potty, bounce, run, walk, listen, rock, ride, wash, etc.
• Manners: thank you, please, excuse me
