Lookin cute for the doctors today


They both went to the docs today. Reagan for her second round of the flu shot (which she took like a champ) and Logan for his 2 year well visit.

Just a lot of catching the doc. up on Logans development & voicing all our concerns and accomplishments.

Concerns:
Not walking
Standing for 10-15secs
Arm flapping & head shaking (relatively constant, especially if he's excited)
Not good at self feeding
Not using utensils
No imaginary play
Only uses 1 hand to play 90% of the time
Only plays with trucks & balls
Likes to watch things move
Mouths everythings
Cannot perform 2 step commands
Does not wave, hug, give kisses
Has no stranger anxiety
Shows no real excitement for Mommy & Daddy (or Reagan & Dylan)
Doesn't bend his knees & often gets stuck when standing holding on to something
Appears not to hear and/or acknowledge instruction


Accomplishments:
Laughs
Repeats a lot of words
Can identify a lot of picture flashcards (thanks Aunt Andrea)
Loves being read to
Eats fruit like it's going out of style
Can/will eat an entire apple if given the chance
Eats anything (kalamata olives, lemons, sour kraut etc...)
Sleeps - 11hrs at night & 1 2hr nap
Loves to play peek a boo
Makes us laugh, like a deep belly laugh.... every. single. day.

We want the crystal ball foresight into our little guys future - no one can give that to us. But for the first time our pediatrician told us that the likelihood that he will ever be at an equal level with his peers is slim. We are pleased with what we feel like was an honest sincere prediction - doesn't mean it makes your heart any less heavy.

But what you've all been waiting for - the numbers!
Weight: 28lbs
Height: 35inches

hugging that 50% line pretty tight
