My baby boy is two and half years old! It's somewhat shocking to me that he got so big so fast. Because of his ongoing ear issues and his small size he has been going to the doctor every six months just to check in. He had an excellent check up this time. He now weighs 27.7 lbs! He's actually on the 25th percentile for weight which is a huge jump from the 3rd where has been living the last 2 years. He is rapidly catching up to Xander in term of height and is now 33.6 in tall. He did such a good job with exam I was really impressed. He sat still the whole time Dr Walter examined him and he sat by himself on the examination table! He let him look in his ears and mouth and everything. Overall he looks pretty good, although it looks like his right ear tube might have fallen out. We go to the audiologist for routine 6 month follow-up next month so we find out for sure then. In the meantime it doesn't seem to bother him so I am not concerned until then. All in all it was a great visit! While we were there I threw Xander on scale too and he weighs 32 lbs and is 37 inches tall. So he better have a growth spurt otherwise James is going to catch up!

Aren't tubes supposed to fall out when they're "finished?" I know mine didn't fall out and had to be surgically removed when I was about four years old. I'm just curious...
naomi is going to love seeing all the lambs! i hope we can come visit soon. sometime after april 15th would be best bc i think that is my next unspent paycheck. ;) what wednesdays are you free?
Sometimes- esp whent hey have lots of ear infections like my boys- the tubes can be extruded prematurely. Xander is already on his 2nd set of tubes!
