Wellness Check for both Boys

Monday MJ had his 2 month check up and today PJ had his 2 year check up.  Wow, wast it just 2 years ago we had PJ, and now we have 2 boys!
I am happy to report that both boys are very healthy.  MJ weighs 13 pounds, and is about 24 inches long.  The doctor was impressed with MJ's head control, eye tracking and his big smiles for momma and the pretty nurse.  He is right on track for a 2 month old, if not a few weeks ahead.  
Today at PJ's appointment, things went just as well, if not better than MJ's appointment.  PJ's many visits to the doctor in the past 4 months for ear infections, made me a bit worried about how this appointment would go.  Luckily PJ was a perfect toddler!  He weighed himself on the adult scale.  The scale was our biggest success since the past few visits when we suggested he stand alone on the scale he would scream and climb up my body.  I guess the fight against the scale was more evidence PJ is not himself when he is sick with ear infections.  Once in the office, he let the nurse and doctor measure him, look at his ears, listen to his heart and breathing, without a fuss.  In fact he even asked the doctor what he was doing and listened while the doctor answered.  PJ showed off his development level by pointing out to the doctor the different buses, identifying them by color.  He pointed out the jeeps, dump trucks, and even a fire truck.  The fire truck really made PJ's day, especially since the nurse gave him a fire truck sticker as we left!  PJ weighed in at 26 pounds and 3 feet tall.  His growth is on the same percentage scale as past visits so he is right on schedule.  The only issue the doctor shared with me was the amount of fluid in PJ's ears.  Everything else about PJ is perfect health!  Since we are taking care of his ears with tubes at the end of the month, I left feeling very blessed.

I am a proud momma!
