2.5 Year Check-Up

It’s actually been 3 weeks since I took Alex in for his 2.5 year well visit and to meet our new pediatrician. I can’t believe this slipped my mind! Our new doctor actually practices internal medicine and pediatrics, so he’s seen both Tim and Alex. Pretty cool! Dr. Webb will also see Baby.Next once he arrives and I’m sure I’ll see him at some point in the future. The office is half a mile down the road from Tim’s office, which is another huge bonus since I will have to take the baby to so many well visits over the next year.

But, I digress – back to Alex! No shots at this visit, and only the flu shot at his 3 year check-up! Alex was very good and excited to meet his new doctor.

Here are his 2.5 year stats!

Height: 3 feet … 46%ile … (grew 1 inch since December)

Weight: 31.5 lbs … 71%ile … (gained about 4 lbs since December)

Head: 51 cm … 88%ile (grew about 1 cm since June 2012)

Alex still loves all things that go and is a very active little boy! He definitely keeps me on my toes all day long! He has become interested in numbers and letters, and has correctly named a few, just from reading and playing games. He loves putting together puzzles, even on his tablet. It’s actually amazing to watch him play games on the tablet and iPhone; he can switch between games and play independently for 15 minutes at a time! His vocabulary has grown significantly since his 2 year check-up. He will tell you complete sentences, narrates everything he’s doing, and can follow two and three step directions (when his stubbornness doesn’t kick in). Alex constantly amazes us and we can’t wait to watch him grow as a big brother in the coming weeks!
