As usual, Caden P charmed everyone. He talked from the time we walked into the office until the time we left. The Doctor is not concerned about communication :) He did great on both his developmental and physical evaluation. The doctor said his ears are clear and that he has not gotten his two year molars yet (that should be a good time!)
He was 26lbs 8oz (30%). That was a little surprising to me because he is eating like a horse and feels like he weighs 56lbs. Then they measured his length and I realized where all the food is going - he is 35in (70%). I guess he did hit a growth spurt, it was just in his length, not his weight! 6 months ago he was 24lbs 9.6oz (30%) and 32.5in (50%), so he gained 2lbs and grew almost 3in. in 6 months. I have no idea if that is average or not, I just like numbers!
I have often times heard that as soon as you get their schedule down they change it up on you - I agree wholeheartedly! Apparently 2 year olds do not need to sleep 15 hours a day. Huh, weird. Almost overnight he has shaved a good 45min to an hour off his nap and his night. So instead of sleeping 12 hours at night and 3 hours during the day, he's closer to 11 - 11 1/2 at night and 2-2 1/2 during the day. The doctor assures me this is normal, but I miss the good 'ol days!
And, just because I can't bear the thought of posting this without including any pictures, here are a couple I took just this afternoon - Caden with his newest friend, Beckam
This picture is cute for two reasons - First, Caden had to go upstairs and get his "yell ba-dee" for Beckam - so sweet! Second, I love the look that Caden is giving Beckam - who are you and what are you doing here?!?And just for little baby fun and comparison, here is sweet Beckam (7 weeks)
and here is Caden at 8 weeks, sitting in the same chair
Yep, the good 'ol days
