Yesterday, Caden and I went to the pediatrician for his 895 day check up. Just kidding, it was really to get him a flu shot. Which, as it turns out, is just a mist sprayed up his nose. Hallelujah, so much better than a shot - he didn't even cry and we were out of there lickity-split! Caden was not thrilled when he heard we were going to the doctor. He was even trying to get me to go for him! In the car on the way he said, "No Cay-Cay doctor. Just mama doctor." Being able to be in and out of there with no tears was a huge accomplishment!
Of course we couldn't leave before registering #2 with our fantastic pediatrician and getting CP to stand on the scale. We haven't been to the doctor since May and I was sure that he weighed 350 lbs give or take a few. I knew he was 26lbs 8 oz at his 2 year check up 5 months ago, but I was still surprised that he *only* weighed 29lbs 2 oz. I realize that's a 3 lb gain in 5 months, but I was just sure he was going to be about 32 lbs. The good news is that I'm still in the clear to carry him (OB says I can lift up to 40 lbs) which I've been doing a lot lately - "Mama hold you!"
Just for the sake of recording, here is what cute Caden P looks like at 895 days old

Yeah for being a big, tough guy, Cadster!
