2 year stats

Eli had his 2 year checkup yesterday.  All is well!  He's right on track in all departments.  Eating good, sleeping good, talking VERY well, and right where he should be with physical development.  He's still a string bean though!  He hates going to the doctor, especially when we have to take off his clothes to be weighed and measured.  So I'm never 100% sure the measurements are precise, since he's fighting us tooth and nail.  But his doctor said he did really good for a 2 year old. 

And he has officially lost both his ear tubes.  We lost the first one some time over the summer, and lost the second one in just the past few weeks.  So let's hope he doesn't ever need them replaced.  So far no ear infections since he got the tubes last January.  Otherwise an unremarkable appointment, which for us is awesome!

Here are his current stats:

Height = 35.5 inches (81%)
Weight = 27 lb (38%)
Head = 19 1/8 inches (25-50%)

So he is filling out *some*.  He used to be in the 90% for height and 25% for weight.  It's still really hard to find clothes that fit him properly and don't look like high waters, but once he's in shorts again that gets much easier. :)

Happy Birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet boy!  I can not believe you are 2 years old already.  Mommy sure did have a hard time leaving you at daycare this morning.  But we will have fun tonight and this weekend!  Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

Saturday is Eli's best friend Coen's birthday party.  He turns 2 on the 24th.  They are so cute together and love each other so much.  I'm so glad we have become friends with Coen and his family. 

Eli's birthday party is next Sunday.  He is having a Mickey Mouse party.  And I am going to make my first attempt at his birthday cake!  That should be interesting.  But it will be fun with friends and family.  I didn't get a chance to take a picture of him this morning, so for now I'll share pics from his birthday last year :)

Christmas 2009

Finally, I know!  Sorry it's taken so long to get these up, but I figured I might want to do it before I have birthday pics to share!  I can not believe Eli is going to be 2 in just days!  And we have definitely hit the terrible twos.  Hopefully this will pass soon.  Christmas was great this year.  Busy, but great.  We were able to spend some time with all of our family, although not as much as we'd like.  But I guess that's how it goes when you have so many to see.  Eli was a trooper with all the traveling.
